|| Toronto FC and the Columbus Crew delivered a tense and dramatic Trillium Cup clash at BMO Field that ended in a 1-1 draw, a match that had everything from early fireworks to late drama.
The Crew wasted no time making their mark. Just eight minutes in, Diego Rossi pounced on a loose ball at the top of the box and unleashed a sweet half-volley that flew past Sean Johnson to give Columbus the early lead. It was the kind of sharp finish that showcased why Rossi is such a constant threat, and Toronto suddenly found themselves chasing the game.
Columbus nearly doubled their advantage before the half when Andrés Herrera broke free, but Johnson stood tall and denied him with a crucial save. Toronto, for their part, had chances of their own—DeAndre Kerr forced a strong stop from Patrick Schulte, and the Reds were frustrated when Djordje Mihailović went down in the box with no penalty given.
