If you were at the game this past Saturday when Columbus Crew SC defeated reigning MLS Cup Champions Atlanta United FC, then you endured a scary sight when defender Harrison Afful was helped off the field. Afful collided with center back Jonathan Mensah and remained down around the 27th minute mark. The fullback remained down and was looked at by the medical staff before slowly walking off the field with a bloody rag to his mouth.
Afful did not return to the game. In the 31st minute, just after the weather delay, Afful was taken off and replaced by Hector Jimenez to finish the duration of the match.
