Ghana and Columbus Crew defenders Jonathan Mensah and Harrison Afful celebrated the MLS Cup success with their teammates in the dressing room.

Afful got the hosts off to a flying start at Mapfre Stadium by assisting Lucas Zelarayan for the opening goal in the 25th minute.

Derick Etienne doubled the lead for the Crew in the 31st minute as Zelarayan bagged his brace eight minutes from full-time.

This was Columbus Crew's second MLS Cup having clinched their first title in 2008. It was also a second MLS Cup for Adi who previously won it at Portland Timbers with Porter in 2015.

Mensah and Afful have established themselves as key players in Porter's defence this campaign with over 25 league appearances under their belt.

As a reward for winning the MLS Cup, Columbus Crew become the fourth American top-flight club to qualify for the 2021 Concacaf Champions League.
