It was a good night at MAPFRE Stadium as Columbus Crew SC got back to winning at home with a 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution. But it wasn’t all positive.
I’m not talking about the play on the field. Crew SC did what was necessary to dispatch of a relatively listless Revolution side that’s struggled all year. What this match will likely be remembered for is an incident that occured in the 77th minute that led to the dismissal of Columbus head coach Gregg Berhalter.
As the Black & Gold attempted to get out of its own defensive third, rookie winger Niko Hansen touched the ball to one side of Revolution defender Je-Vaughn Watson before attempting to speed around the other side.
