With hardly any time left in extra time in Thursday’s MLS Cup playoff knockout round game with Atlanta United, Columbus Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter turned to his bench.
In the final seconds, he brought on Adam Jahn, a player who played only 316 minutes and scored one goal during the regular season, as his final tactical move.
At the biggest moment of the year, Berhalter turned to the forward to do one thing: make a penalty kick in the shootout.
“We are very comfortable with the role he can play in penalty kicks,” he said of Jahn.
