It seems as though that the Columbus Crew would not make the playoffs this year. Or will they? A stellar win over rival Chicago Fire could give them that boost they just might need to push for a spot. The battle between these two teams is badass. No lie. Last night, they played their last game of the series in Columbus.
A win for either side could give momentum to crush other teams playoff hopes. *cough* New England. *cough* Philadelphia. But it seems as though Columbus may have the last laugh in the end.
After a blantant red card tackle (which resulted with a red card), Columbus and their special 12th man had the advantage. And no doubt used it for granted when former Fire player Dominic Oduro opened the scoring. His celebration: Lets just say he was a little hungry. So a slice of Papa John's pizza will do it. Going into the half with Columbus on top, I bet that Frank Klopas excoriated his team in the dressing room.
To open up the second half (well, 50+ minutes gone) was a Federico Higuain penalty kick as "Milk Man Johnson" took down Jairo Arrieta in the box. The crowd erupts and then chants of 'Dos A Cero' escape mouths of the Crew supporter sections. [Wrong team guys]. But anyway, that was quickly put to rest with a Bernardo Añor goal. 3-0 was the final; 3 points AND a shed of light to a playoff spot belong to the Columbus Crew.
What did we learn from last night?
That when you doubt the tactics of an interim head coach and a fiery Columbus Crew club, chances are you WILL feel the aftermath.
(And driving an ambulance? What's up with that?)
