Columbus Crew sends off Crew Stadium with win against the Chicago Fire

It was a picture-perfect ending to one of the iconic venues in Major League Soccer. The Columbus Crew sent out historic Crew Stadium with a 2-0 win against the Chicago Fire in front of a sold out crowd on Saturday night. Gyasi Zardes scored a first half brace to give the Black & Gold the easy win and the team saw out the remainder of the game in the second half.

The contest opened with some big-game jitters as neither team looked sharp in the opening minutes. Both teams misplaced passes and looked unsettled in front of a large crowd.
