Albert Rusnak's performance was pivotal, as he not only scored a hat-trick but also demonstrated his versatility by previously creating six chances against Portland.
Columbus Crew faced a significant disadvantage with their goalkeeper being sent off, forcing a centre-back to take on goalkeeping duties that ultimately led to their heavy defeat.
This defeat marked just the second time in 39 home matches that the Crew had lost, underlining the rarity and importance of Seattle's emphatic win.
Seattle's victory represents their sixth win in nine visits to Columbus, showcasing their dominance and high winning percentage against the Crew on the road.
