The Columbus Crew finally picked up a road win on Saturday, the first of the 2022 season, with a 2-1 victory at Atlanta United. After an early goal from center back Jonathan Mensah off a corner kick, forward Erik Hurtado doubled the Black & Gold lead just before halftime. From there Columbus held on, only conceding a bicycle kick goal to Dom Dwyer in stoppage time. Heroics from Eloy Room along with some changes in play from head coach Caleb Porter led the Crew to the win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
These were an important three points for the Black & Gold.
