Columbus Crew SC closed out the 14th night of the MLS is Back Tournament just like it had its previous two group stage matches, with a win. A goal by Youness Mokhtar in the 18th minute proved enough to lift the Black & Gold over Atlanta United by a 1-0 scoreline. The victory clinched first place in Group E for Columbus, who has a date with the runners up in Group D for the first game of the knockout round.
The Black & Gold provided a different attacking approach on Tuesday night than in previous games.
