The crew is back, guys. The MLS Cup champions lost 2-0 at home to Inter Miami and their Leagues Cup campaign looked to be headed for failure. But you can’t keep Columbus down for long…
Wilfried Nancy’s side were behind the eight ball for most of the first hour of their round of 16 clash with Luis Suárez and co, but the champions quickly changed their fortunes after Diego Gomez put the visitors two points clear.
The turnaround began with a stroke of luck when Christian Ramirez’s shot took a wide deflection before reaching the back of the net.
From then on the blood ran in the water and the Crew took advantage. The equalizer found the back of the net just two minutes after Ramirez reduced the deficit, sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.
The wind seemed to have gone out of Inter Miami’s sails, and the home team completed the comeback in style, taking the lead through Diego Rossi.
What a return of the champions, what a collapse of Inter Miami!
