Philadelphia completes season sweep of Columbus with a pair of second-half goals
Columbus Crew SC proved able to capitalize on neither positive momentum from a cathartic Saturday road win nor homefield advantage Wednesday night, as the team fell 2-1 in an Eastern Conference match with the Philadelphia Union.
The pace of the match was frenetic from the initial whistle, and Columbus seemed intent on implementing long passes and throughballs to try keying its attack. The approach was visually entertaining for the first 30 minutes, but Philadelphia did a strong job of limiting Columbus' chances.
