The Columbus Crew may not be a great team away from home, but the Black & Gold seem to get important road wins when they matter. On Saturday afternoon, in front of 67,000-plus fans, including Kanye West, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and while on national television, the Crew earned a 1-0 win against a struggling Atlanta United side.
While beating Atlanta isn’t what it used to be — the Five Stripes have lost five times in 14 games this year and just fired their head coach — Columbus getting a win of any sort right now is impressive given the team still has multiple players out with injury or away on international duty.
