It’s been a few months since the Columbus Crew and Toronto FC battled at Lower.com Field to a 2-1 Crew victory. Since then, the two sides have taken vastly different roads. Columbus’ victory against Toronto in March looked like the beginning of a Black & Gold return to the top of the league. On the other side, another early speedbump for Toronto appeared to be the start of a difficult year up north.
Those storylines faded quickly and Wednesday’s match at BMO Field in Toronto looks like it will be important points for either side.
