Gregg Berhalter said Columbus Crew SC weren’t going to Charleston, S.C. to win the Carolina Challenge Cup, but that’s exactly what his team did on Saturday evening.
The Black & Gold defeated defending MLS Cup champions Seattle Sounders 1-0 to close out the preseason and secure the Cup.
Columbus won the opening game last weekend 2-1 over Atlanta United before a draw with hosts Charleston Battery giving them seven points to win the preseason tournament.
As promised, Berhalter put out what is expected to be similar to his first-choice lineup.
