Columbus is still searching for their first away win after falling in Kansas City 3-2. Ola Kamara scored a brace to lead the offense, but the team gave up the lead after a Tyson Wahl red card, Benny Feilhaber penalty, and Graham Zusi strike, before Matt Besler scored the winner in stoppage time.
Crew SC got the first goal off a wonderful defensive effort in the 22nd minute by Harrison Afful. He forced a turnover. The loose ball was collected by Ethan Finlay. He dropped a pass into the box to find an excellent Afful run. The one touch pass from Afful was crossed into Kamara who caromed the ball off his knee and into goal.
