Lower.com Field roared Saturday night as the Crew beat the Union 3-1 to seal the Supporters’ Shield, guaranteeing home-field advantage through MLS Cup. Diego Rossi’s 64th-minute curler snapped a 1-1 tie before substitute Christian Ramirez iced the match in stoppage time.

Wilfried Nancy praised his group’s composure: “We’ve built to this moment all season, focusing on principles instead of results. Tonight we got both.” Cucho Hernández finished with two assists and now leads MLS in goal contributions.

Columbus will host the lowest remaining seed in the conference semifinals after the international break.
