The Columbus Crew is in the driver’s seat for a championship, one win away from the MLS Cup Final. After dispatching the New York Red Bulls in Round One of the MLS Cup playoffs, the Crew followed up with a 2-0 overtime victory against upstarts Nashville SC last Sunday.
In the Eastern Conference Final on Sunday, the Crew faces a familiar foe in the New England Revolution and Bruce Arena. The Revs find themselves in the midst of an incredible playoff run which started with a last-minute winner in the play-in round to defeat the Montreal Impact, before soundly defeating Supporters’ Shield winners, the Philadelphia Union.
