COLUMBUS, Ohio — Justin Meram and Ola Kamara each scored their eighth goal of the season and the Columbus Crew beat the reserve-laden Seattle Sounders 3-0 on Wednesday night at Mapfre Stadium.
Columbus (7-7-1) snapped a two-game losing streak, while Seattle (4-6-4) had its two-game winning streak stopped.
Federico Higuain opened the scoring in the 10th minute for his fifth goal. Hector Jimenez intercepted a pass deep in Seattle territory and hustled to win the loose ball. It fell to Higuain and he slid it inside the far post to tie Stern John for third on the Crew’s all-time regular-season goal scoring list at 44.
