For the first time ever, Columbus Crew SC has defeated Atlanta United. The Black & Gold did so, 2-0, on Saturday in a rain-soaked field at MAPFRE Stadium, that featured a near hour weather delay.
It didn’t take long for the Crew to get on the board. The Black & Gold opened the scoring less than two minutes into the contest. Captain Wil Trapp found his central midfield partner Artur making a run out wide behind the Atlanta defense. The Brazilian delivered a low cross that deflected off of United defender Miles Robinson and right to Pedro Santos.
