Columbus Crew SC came out on fire in the team’s first game in over four months. The Black & Gold debuted in the MLS is Back Tournament with a 4-0 win against in-state rival FC Cincinnati last Saturday.
Game 2 is on Thursday night — another late kickoff — and is against the New York Red Bulls. In their first game in MLS is Back, the Red Bulls scored an early goal against Atlanta United and were able to see the result out for a 1-0 victory.
That means the winner of this game, assuming there is one, will qualify for the knockout rounds of the tournament.
