Ola Kamara scored in the 45th minute and Justin Meram iced it just before full-time in the Columbus Crew's 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday night in a match that saw Ashley Cole sent off.

Cole's studs up tackle on Pedro Santos in the 17th minute was initially whistled as a normal foul, but the referee consulted VAR and changed the call to a sending off for the former Chelsea man.

Just before half-time, Santos threaded a pass through four defenders and Kamara, who leads the Crew with 13 goals, redirected the ball from the center of the box past Jon Kempin.
