71' A change in the Columbus Crew SC ranks — Malte Amundsen exits the field as Yevgen Cheberko enters on 71.
72' The referee calls foul for Maxi Moralez. He receives a card.
73' The whistle greets Hannes Wolf as he departs to be replaced by Julian Fernandez.
78' Hannes Wolf is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Columbus Crew SC tonight.
83' With 0 assists to his name this season, Patrick Schulte is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Columbus Crew SC.
85' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Santiago Rodriguez on 85 minutes.
86' A stunning finish from Monsef Bakrar — that came from absolutely nowhere!
90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Julian Fernandez on 90 minutes.
