Matchday 20 of the 2025 MLS season will be wrapped up this evening with just two fixtures remaining on the docket to close out another intriguing weekend of action across the United States and Canada.
Here is how it all went down in Columbus as the Crew clashed with the Philadelphia Union ahead of the upcoming late fixture in Los Angeles as the Vancouver Whitecaps lock horns with LAFC.
Farsi's strike ends Philly's unbeaten run
Scorers: Farsi 45+2'
Eastern Conference powerhouse Columbus Crew banked a massive home result tonight after a narrow 1-0 win over pack-leading Philadelphia Union.
Across what was a dull yet dominant opening 45 minutes of action at Lower.com Field, the Crew took a justifiable 1-0 lead on the stroke of halftime after Mo Farsi's marauding run to the back post was picked out by Lassi Lappalainen for the Algerian to slot past Andre Blake.
Thanks to a severe weather delay, a running theme across competitive football this summer, play resumed in Columbus as Wilfried Nancy's men remained largely on the front foot after crossing the hour mark.
Despite a few changes, including introducing teenage talents Cavan Sullivan and Sal Olivas, Philly headmaster Bradley Carnell could not rewrite the script and find an equalizer before the full-time whistle.
With that, the Crew ended the Union's 11-match unbeaten run, while also closing the gap to the Eastern Conference leaders to just three points.
STILL TO COME
