In a packed Lower.com Field, the Red Bulls learned from their mistakes 10 days earlier and pushed hard for the early goal, registering four shots until the breakthrough in the 25th minute.
Sandro Schwarz and his men executed their tactics to perfection, letting a Crew team who love to hold onto the ball have 73% of the possession and hitting them on the counter-attack.
It was a risky game plan as Columbus peppered Carlos Coronel's goal 15 times - he had to bail his team out with eight saves, including a point-blank save to deny DeJuan Jones in the 83rd minute.
Our main focus, our clear concentration is on Sunday. It was the first time Coronel had kept a clean sheet since July in the Leagues Cup.
