Columbus Crew SC used home-field advantage to down reigning MLS Cup winners Atlanta United 2-0 and bounce back from last week’s setback against the Philadelphia Union.
It was a very peculiar night at MAPFRE Stadium as the match was interrupted at the 31st minute due to inclement weather and resumed just 58 minutes later. Conditions were far from ideal, however, and the quality of the game was severely impacted from that point on.
However, even with very limited real playing time, it was still possible to draw some conclusion from the match.
