Notes

RSL is coming off a 2-0 loss at Seattle whereas Columbus has tied its first two matches … For RSL, Ian Joy is still out with a hamstring strain while Robbie Russell (shoulder) and Luis Miguel Escalada (ankle) are both listed as questionable … Columbus will be missing three players tonight because of national team duty, Frankie Hejduk, Alejandro Moreno and Duncan Oughtone … RSL is 1-0-3 in its previous four home openers.
