Last week, Columbus Crew SC ended the unbeaten streak of yet another team at MAPFRE Stadium. The Black & Gold were able to claim a 2-1 victory against Toronto FC. It was a gritty performance that saw Columbus start rather slow, but make the necessary tactical adjustments to insure victory.
The Red Bulls welcome Crew SC this week on the heels of an abrasive affair which saw a 2-0 win against D.C. United a week ago. This was a chippy and downright unappealing match with a lot of stars and stops with five total cards issued to both squads.
