Columbus Crew top Charlotte FC 4-2 to maintain Eastern Conference lead
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Dylan Chambost scored the game's first goal and helped
lead a balanced attack by the Eastern Conference leading Columbus Crew who beat
Charlotte FC 4-2 on Saturday.
Chambost scored with a left-footed shot from the center of the box at 25
minutes to put Columbus (7-1-3) ahead 1-0. Chambost put it in from short
distance after Charlotte keeper Kristijan Kahlina failed to secure a save on a
shot by Diego Rossi. Kahlina also failed to clear the zone and kicked it back
to the Crew to set up the score.
Rossi made it 2-0 on a penalty kick at 39 minutes following a foul by Liel
Abada.
Wilfried Zaha put Charlotte (6-4-1) on the board with a penalty kick in the
second minute of extra time in the first half shaving the deficit to a goal.
Aziel Jackson made it a two-goal advantage again with a shot from the center of
the box with a right boot at the 51st.
Abada atoned for his earlier foul scoring at the 64th from the right side of
the box to get Charlotte within 3-2.
Jacen Russell-Rowe's header at the 81st put the Crew back up a pair to end the
scoring.
