Josef Martinez put Atlanta United up 1-0 inside of 20 minutes, but three second-half goals from Columbus Crew SC saw it leave Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a 3-1 win.
Atlanta definitely looked like a team with a long layoff, but that changed briefly in the 19th minute on some beautiful buildup play. Emerson Hyndman struck a perfect ball to Pity Martinez in space and the Argentinian placed it on a platter to Josef Martinez - who ended the pretty sequence by scoring in his 14th-straight MLS match.
But things went downhill from there.
