VIDEO: Jonathan Mensah tips 'underdogs' Columbus Crew to shock Toronto FC in MLS Eastern Conference final

Defender Jonathan Mensah expects underdogs Columbus Crew to beat Toronto FC in the MLS Eastern Conference final. 

The Ghana international has been key for the Black and Gold this season after a slow start.

Columbus Crew host Toronto in the first leg at the MAPFRE Stadium on 21 November and the return leg nine days later.

''It is going to be a really really tough game. We have come a long way, this is not the time to relax. We just have to be prepared for anything they are going to throw at us and stick to our game plan also,'' the centre back told the club's website.

''We have embraced this title [underdog tag]  for a while. We just have to go out there and show what we can do and get the results, the qualification and move on to the next round.''
