For the second time in less than 12 months, the Columbus Crew won a trophy. The Black & Gold defeated Liga MX powerhouse Cruz Azul 2-0 at Lower.com Field on Wednesday night to win the club’s first international trophy. An early own goal allowed the Crew to sit back and defend for the entirety of the match. Jonathan Mensah’s second half header sealed the deal and the title for the Crew.
Another trophy for the club is a momentous achievement and Wednesday’s contest gave fans an early preview of what future games and seasons could look like for Columbus at the new stadium.
