In year 25, MLS Cup went back to where it all began with Columbus Crew SC
On Saturday night the Crew surprised almost everyone by knocking off the defending champs from Seattle 3-0 despite the absence of two key starters – not just winning the big final but dominating it, flying into their task with a commitment and intensity that you might say has been 25 years in the making.
The Crew and Zelarayan were perfect fits for each other
The club signed the influential player at the perfect moment and the union paid off with the MLS Cup.
