The MLS Cup playoffs are set to continue Sunday evening at MAPFRE Stadium as the Columbus Crew host Nashville SC in the Eastern conference semifinals. The Crew has had an unexpected week in the buildup with six of the team’s players testing positive for COVID-19. Despite the positive tests, the medical experts of the Black & Gold and Major League Soccer have instilled confidence to everyone that this match can go on safely.
Columbus is fresh off a 3-2 victory last Saturday against the New York Red Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. The Black & Gold commanded the match on all fronts to extend their home record to 10 wins out of 11 matches in 2020.
