The atmosphere at MAPFRE Stadium was electric after Columbus Crew SC’s come-from-behind win against rivals the Chicago Fire on Saturday night. Crew SC made sure to close up shop on “Firehouse East” and send Fire fans back to Bridgeview gravely disappointed.
The Black & Gold saw Kekuta Manneh, Justin Meram and Ola Kamara find the score sheet, but really enjoyed an exceptional performance from the defense.
One of the standouts was rookie defender Lalas Abubakar, who earned Major League Soccer Team of the Week for his performance against Chicago.
