"Twenty-seven seconds into the 2015 MLS Cup final, Diego Valeri of the Portland Timbers stole the ball from Crew SC goalkeeper Steve Clark and scored into a gaping net...then, in the seventh minute, an assistant referee blew a call, a discomfited Crew defense buckled and the Timbers took a 2-0 lead on a quick counter. The game was over before it got started." - Michael Arace, The Columbus Dispatch (1-23-16)

And, thus, the hopes of over 21,000 Ohio fans at Mapfre Stadium that the Crew would win the biggest professional sports title in the history of Columbus were effectively dashed.
