MLS-leading Revolution Tie Defending Champion Crew 1-1

September 19, 2021

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.  — Gyasi Zardes scored in the 58th minute, Eloy Room had six saves and the Columbus Crew tied the MLS-leading New England Revolution 1-1 on Saturday night.

Room favored his right leg late in the closing minutes but managed to knock away back-to-back shots by Adam Buksa. Room deflected the first with his lower body in the 90th minute and, 10 seconds later — after gingerly getting off the ground and limping to the center of goal — parried a header.

Harrison Afful played a bending 20-yard ball-in to Zardes for a header that deflected off the hand of diving goalkeeper Matt Turner and banged off the post before skipping into the net to open the scoring in the 58th minute. A careless pass by Jonathan Mensah was intercepted by Buksa, who took a couple dribbles before beating Room one-on-one to level the score in the 62nd.

New England (17-4-5) is unbeaten in three straight games. Columbus (8-11-9), the defending MLS Cup champion, is 10th in the Eastern Conference.

C.J. Sapong tied it for Nashville (10-3-11) five minutes earlier, scoring his 81st career goal in his 300th MLS regular-season game. Jacob Shaffelburg opened the scoring for Toronto (4-15-6) in the 18th minute.
