In just the second multiple-goal deficit of the season, Columbus Crew SC lost the Trillium Cup to Toronto FC 3-1 on Sunday night. In the first half, a 40-minute TFC own-goal off a Pedro Santos cross put the Crew up going into the half. But two entirely different teams came out of the locker room for the second half.
Toronto played with energy and possession in the second half, two things that the Crew did not. Three goals scored in 30 minutes was all the home side needed While late substitutions tried to give Columbus live, the team was unable to get come away with anything for its effort.
