For the biggest game of the 2020 Major League Soccer season, the attention of the league is on Columbus, Ohio. The MLS Cup Final returns to central Ohio as the Columbus Crew plays host to the Seattle Sounders. While it’s only the Black & Gold’s third appearance in the league’s most coveted fixture, the Sounds will be in their fourth in a mere five years after joining the league as an expansion side in 2008.
While the Crew was dealt a double blow Thursday after learning star players Darlington Nagbe and Pedro Santos would be ruled out of Saturday’s contest, the show must go on.
