MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Kekuta Manneh scored in the 58th minute and the Columbus Crew beat Minnesota United 1-0 on Tuesday night in the first meeting between the teams.
Columbus (9-10-1) won for just the third time in eight matches. Minnesota (5-11-3) lost its second straight.
Manneh scored his second goal since being traded from Vancouver on March 30. He spun his defender near the midfield circle, dribbled in space and sent in a shot from distance.
Columbus’ Ola Kamara had an open shot near the corner of the 18-yard box knocked away by Bobby Shuttleworth in the 65th minute.
