On Saturday night, Ohio brought the lightning, but David Villa and Ethan Finlay brought the thunder.
A weather delay pushed back the start by 45 minutes, but the two combatants made up for it with five second half goals -- including one apiece in stoppage time -- as NYCFC and the Columbus Crew drew at the Mapfre Stadium, 3-3.
For Patrick Vieira's Blues, Frank Lampard opened the scoring to secure his ninth goal in his last ten games, Tony Taylor started for Jack Harrison on the right wing, and center backs Maxime Chanot and Frederic Brillant were kept busy all night by the Crew attack.
