Theo Corbeanu could be Toronto FC's 'X Factor' vs. Columbus
In a 1-on-1 interview, Apple TV's Kyndra de St. Aubin explains why Corbeanu could make a big difference for TFC in Columbus.
This is the latest instalment of a semi-regular feature series at TFC Republic where we speak to an Apple TV commentator about the current state of Toronto FC.
This week: Colour commentator Kyndra de St. Aubin previews Saturday's game between Toronto FC and the Columbus Crew, the impact Theo Corbeanu is having this season, and much more.
This Q&A has been lightly edited and trimmed for brevity and clarity.
Toronto and Columbus are both fighting to stay alive in the playoff race, so Saturday is hugely important for both teams. What kind of match are you expecting?
It's a little bit tricky to answer because I don't know exactly what Columbus is going to look like after their midweek loss to St. Louis in the U.S. Open Cup final. But I feel like Columbus is at a disadvantage because they played a huge derby game last weekend vs. FC Cincinnati and then played in the Open Cup final in which they had all their guys out there until the very end before the penalty shootout. So, I don't know how Columbus is going to look.
