- Seattle unlocked after starting Danny Musavsky and moving Jordan Morris wider, which created clearer channels for chances and improved duel win rates.

Crew's Win Mixed Quality And Opponent Errors
- Columbus delivered a controlled 4-0 win but benefited from Cincinnati errors, including an early red card to Yuya Kubo.
- The Crew's disciplined approach exploited Cincinnati's mistakes, but Columbus may not replicate that exact form in Game 3.
