Steven Moreira - Six crosses in playoff loss Moreira generated one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus FC Cincinnati.

Impact Moreira recorded a season-high six crosses in Saturday's Game 3, but he failed to record an accurate cross and created just one chance in the loss. He did not do much on the defensive end of the pitch, only winning two duels through his 90 minutes. He finishes the season with one goal, two assists and three clean sheets across 33 appearances (32 starts).

Diego Rossi - Six shots in playoff defeat Rossi had six shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Rossi was very active in Saturday's Game 3, but he was not able to do enough to lead Columbus to a win. He took six shots for the fourth time this season and created three chances on the attack, but he did not record any goal contributions. It was his best season with Columbus so far as he recorded 16 goals and four assists across 32 appearances (all starts). He is set to lead the Columbus attack again in 2026.

Jacen Russell-Rowe - Scores in Saturday's playoff loss Russell-Rowe scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Russell-Rowe scored a massive goal Saturday, a strike in the 63rd minute assisted by Andres Herrera which took the 1-0 lead. That goal made it seem like Columbus could pull off the upset win, but Brenner scored a quick equalizer and then a winner late in the match. Russell-Rowe's season has come to an end, and it was an odd campaign for him. He began the season as a starter but lost that place as the season progressed and the club brought in more forwards. He went over four months without a goal contribution, a streak that was broken in Game 2 versus Cincinnati. Despite all that it was the most productive season of his career as he scored nine goals and recorded two assists in 34 appearances (19 starts).

Patrick Schulte - Concedes twice in playoff defeat Schulte recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Schulte conceded two goals in Saturday's loss, a pair of goals by Brenner in the 67th and 86th minutes. The loss eliminated the Crew from the playoffs at the hands of their biggest rivals. Schulte had a down season in his third campaign with Columbus, conceding 39 goals, making 73 saves and keeping a career-low four clean sheets across 28 starts. He will look to bounce back in 2026.

Which Columbus Crew players can make an impact in Game 3 vs FC Cincinnati Columbus Crew are looking to advance to the MLS Cup Eastern Conference semifinals. Here's who could help in Game 3 vs FC Cincinnati.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • DISPATCH.COM

Mohamed Farsi - Officially out Farsi (pelvis) is out for Saturday's clash with Cincinnati, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Farsi is still out for Saturday's clash after training alone earlier in the week. The midfielder has missed every match since July and clearly isn't fit enough for a return. There's a hope that Farsi would have a chance to return if Columbus can make a deeper run in the playoffs.

Wessam Abou Ali - Will remain out Abou Ali (ankle) is set to miss Saturday's match against Cincinnati, according to Brianna Mac Kay of the Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Abou Ali is not going to recover from his ankle issues in time for the series finale on Saturday, with the forward still struggling with his ankle injury. He will now miss six straight games, a brutal run for the forward. He was starting before the injury, so he hopes to see his return next round if his club advances in the playoffs.

Diego Rossi - Assists in Sunday's win Rossi assisted once to go with four shots (two on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 4-0 victory against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Rossi helped his side stave off elimination Sunday, highlighted by his assist on Max Arfsten's opener in the 33rd minute. He also took four shots, recorded five crosses and took five corners, a promising bounce back after being completely shut down in Game 1. He was subbed off in the 61st minute for Jacen Russell-Rowe, so he should be fresh for Saturday's Game 3 on the road.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Chambost - Scores free kick Sunday Chambost scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus FC Cincinnati.

Impact Chambost scored a free kick in the 41st minute Sunday, a strike which took the 2-0 lead shortly after Cincinnati was brought down to 10 men. It marked just his second goal of the season and his first since May 3. It also broke a 13-match streak without a goal contribution. He finished the match with three shots, two crosses and one chance created before he was subbed off in the 70th minute for Daniel Gazdag.

Jacen Russell-Rowe - Goal and assist off bench Russell-Rowe scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Russell-Rowe secured a pair of goal contributions right after he subbed onto the pitch Sunday, his first two since he scored a brace on June 25th versus Atlanta. He subbed onto the pitch in the 61st minute, assisted Andres Herrera's goal in the 65th minute and then took the 4-0 lead in the 69th minute with a strike of his own. It's been a very rough run of form for him over the second half of this season, but this performance could give him the confidence to make an impact in Game 3 on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Max Arfsten - Goal and assist Sunday Arfsten scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and four chances created in Sunday's 4-0 victory against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Arfsten had an excellent performance Sunday as he recorded multiple goal contributions for the first time this season. He scored the opener in the 33rd minute off a Diego Rossi assist, the Crew's only goal before Yuya Kubo was sent off and opened the flood gates. He assisted Jacen Russell-Rowe's strike in the 69th minute and recorded a secondary assist on Andres Herrera's goal in the 65th minute. He set a season high with four chances created and helped his side keep a clean sheet in what was his best performance of the entire season. He will look to bring some more of that magic into Saturday's Game 3.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Schulte - Keeps clean sheet Sunday Schulte recorded no saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 4-0 win over FC Cincinnati.

Impact Schulte did not face a single shot on target Sunday, giving him an easy clean sheet in the massive win for Columbus. A lot of that can be explained by Yuya Kubo's red card in the 38th minute, so Schulte should not expect such an easy match in Saturday's Game 3 on the road.
