Evan Bush secures Columbus' first clean sheet since March and the Crew beat the Union 1-0
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Mohamed Farsi scored in first-half stoppage time, Evan Bush secured Columbus' first clean sheet since March, and the Crew beat the Philadelphia Union 1-0 on Sunday night for their third straight victory. Columbus (10-3-7), which is unbeaten in four straight games, had gone 14 matches since its last clean sheet on March 22 against New York City FC. Philadelphia (12-4-4) had its club-record 11-game unbeaten streak come to an end. On the lone goal, Lassi Lappalainen ran down the left sideline for a through ball and fed it across the goal for Farsi's one-touch finish at the far post. Philadelphia had several good scoring chances, the last when Kai Wagner's free kick found the head of Jesús Bueno but it went just wide in second-half stoppage time. It was a physical start to the match with Alejandro Bedoya earning a yellow card 10 seconds into the game. The game was also delayed at halftime due to weather. Goalkeeper Andre Blake returned for Philadelphia after missing significant time due to an injury and international duty with Jamaica. ___ AP soccer:

Crew turn the tables by blanking Union
Mohamed Farsi scored in the second minute of first-half stoppage time Sunday night, and the Columbus Crew shut down the visiting Philadelphia Union for a 1-0 win. HT Image Columbus pulled within three points of Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference standings behind a defense that outdid its normally stingy opponents. The Union entered the night ranked second in MLS in fewest goals allowed but it was the Crew, ranked 14th, that delivered the clean sheet and allowed no shots on target. Farsi took care of the offense after a beautiful build-up in the middle of the pitch. A long ball down the left side by Amar Sejdic sprung Lassi Lappalainen into the clear. Farsi ran unfettered down the middle and clinically finished a flawless cross from Lappalainen past goalie Andre Blake. A weather delay of nearly an hour held up the start of the second half but did little to change the game's momentum. Philadelphia managed just seven shots for the night, barely exceeding the number of yellow cards it garnered . The Union's best chances occurred in stoppage time in the second half. But Cavan Sullivan's right-footed attempt from the right side in the second minute of stoppage drifted wide right and Jesus Bueno's header in the fifth also leaked right. Columbus finished the night with eight shots and Blake came up with a pair of saves. The Crew notched their fourth clean sheet of the season and their first since March 22, when they settled for a scoreless draw with New York City FC. The teams combined for 33 fouls and eight yellows in a physical fixture. Columbus finished with 59.8 percent of the possession after holding the ball for more than 62 percent in the first half, when Philadelphia managed a meager two shots. Dylan Chambost matched Farsi's two shots for the Crew, while Alejandro Bedoya was the only player for the Union to squeeze off two shots. Three of Philadelphia's seven shots were blocked.
