The 2015 MLS Cup finalist does not appear headed to a return trip after a late loss at home to the Whitecaps.
The Columbus Crew didn’t have much margin for error coming into Saturday’s showdown with the Vancouver Whitecaps. And after a pair of second half Whitecaps goals, that margin may have evaporated entirely.
In the 74th minute and the score level at one, Andrew Jacobson hit a low screamer the visiting Whitecaps the edge.
Nine minutes later, Erik Hurtado, who endured a miserable night at the office last week, buried a header in close to give the Whitecaps some more insurance.
