The first #HellisReal match at Lower.com Field was a thriller.
A stunning free kick goal from Lucas Zelarayan and a Miguel Berry brace in 78 seconds lifted the Black & Gold to a 3-2 win over their neighbors to the south.
Zelarayan’s rocket was his fifth & final free kick goal of 2021 and placed him second in MLS history for most free kick goals in a single season since 2003.
Berry’s brace accentuated his rise in 2021, which included eight goals and two assists in his second season for the Crew.
It was the fourth win in the MLS series for Columbus over Cincinnati, with the Black & Gold holding a 3-0-0 mark over their rivals in Ohio’s capital city.
