It almost seems like a mirror image from last year’s postseason to now. D.C. United was riding high as the hottest team in Major League Soccer and Columbus Crew SC was struggling to maintain a playoff spot.
While we’re nowhere near the postseason, it’s starting to look like a similar product as these two teams prepare to meet for the first time in 2019. D.C. currently sits in the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Columbus, on the other hand, has struggled with results over the last two games, losing on the road to the Montreal Impact and then again at home on Saturday to the previously winless Portland Timbers
In comes Wayne Rooney for his (hopefully) first visit at MAPFRE Stadium.
