Columbus Crew Playoff Game

The Columbus Crew has made it to the playoffs, and their first match is against D.C. United.  This first game in the major league soccer playoffs was a one single game playoff to determine who would advance.  The Crew ended up winning.  This game was an exciting game to watch.  D.C. United scored the first goal.  They scored because a cross was played in and someone headed the bouncing ball into the goal.  Then later on in the first half, the Crew scored.  The goal was scored by a crew player named Frederico Higuain.  At the half, the game was tied up.  In the second half, neither team scored, therefore the game went to overtime.  In overtime, the Crew scored first from another goal by Frederico Higuain.  Then D.C. United ended up scoring which tied the game up again.  Now that there were no more minutes in overtime, that meant the game was headed to a penalty shootout.  This penalty shootout was one to remember because the Crew’s goalkeeper Zach Stephan made a few incredible saves.  Stephan’s saves helped the Crew win the game in the penalty shootout.  I look forward to watching the Crew’s next playoff game on Sunday.
