CINCINNATI – Gyasi Zardes scored twice and the Columbus Crew beat expansion FC Cincinnati in the second match of the rivalry on Sunday.

The teams played to a 2-2 draw in their first-ever MLS meeting at Columbus on Aug. 10.

Zardes opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, slotting home Luis Díaz’s perfectly weighted cross. Zardes doubled the lead with a chest trap of Harrison Afful’s diagonal cross and a flick to finish it in the 33rd.
