COLUMBUS (AP) — Miguel Berry scored twice in a 1:18 span and the Columbus Crew beat FC Cincinnati 3-2 on Friday night to snap a six-game losing streak.
Columbus won for the first time since July 24 when it beat Atlanta 1-0.
Cincinnati is winless in a franchise-record 11 matches, with seven ending in draws.
Berry tied it at 2 in the 81st minute when goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer failed to wrap it up and punched a short tap in off the ricochet.
In the 83rd minute, Cincinnati defender Gustavo Vallecilla attempted to clear Vermeer’s save, but deflected the ball off Berry’s thigh and into the net.
The Crew takes on Orlando City SC at Exploria Stadium on Saturday (7:30 p.m./Bally Sports Ohio).
