Columbus Crew outlast Atlanta in penalties
The Columbus Crew said they weren’t scared going anywhere or playing anybody. They proved that at Atlanta United tonight. They took Atlanta's best shots, all 23 of them, but Zack Steffen just stopped them. Every last one to push Columbus on 0-0, 3-1 in penalties. The massive performance in front of a large and loud hostile crowd at Mercedes Benz Stadium earns the Black & Gold a date with New York City FC and a home playoff game on Tuesday.
Both sides came out with a burst of energy, feeding off the large and loud crowd and the winner take all playoff game. Neither team created a real chance early as they were both misfiring a bit off the nervous energy. That would change quickly.
