MLS is now officially back for Columbus Crew SC. A late East Coast kickoff to begin the MLS is Back Tournament for the Black & Gold became even later when lightning delayed the New York Red Bulls vs. Atlanta United match that preceded the fourth installment of the Hell is Real rivalry against FC Cincinnati on Saturday. The lightning stuck around, but stayed on the field, as the Crew dismantled Cincinnati through a world class free kick goal by Lucas Zelarayan and Gyasi Zardes doubling the lead within four minutes. In the second half, Zardes added to his tally and Youness Mokhtar joined the fun with a curling goal to add even more time to Cincinnati’s film review this week.
Supporter’s XI: New York Red Bulls
