Maybe I can’t quit Wilfried Nancy. Maybe I can’t quite find it in myself to believe in Cincy. Either way, it would be foolish to count out the Crew from this Hell is Real series.
Despite being short on healthy, in-form bodies at both ends, Columbus largely stood tall against their rivals in Game 1. They didn’t create a ton of chances, but neither did their hosts. While Cincy found breakaways, those breakaways rarely turned into dangerous, clear-cut looks on Columbus’ goal. So, why couldn’t the Crew find themselves taking Game 2 back at their home field?
Game 1 didn’t feature a ton of fireworks, but Sunday’s rematch just might.
