Columbus Crew SC are headed to the MLS Cup playoffs for the fourth time in five years. Gregg Berhalter’s men secured passage to the 2018 postseason on Sunday afternoon thanks to the Montreal Impact’s 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution.
While Major League Soccer’s Decision Day is supposed to see all the teams play their games at the same time, Crew SC dealt with a weather delay on Sunday due to lightning in the Black & Gold’s contest against Minnesota United. The game was delayed over an hour, meaning Columbus knew the results of the rest of the league’s games by halftime.
