Crew Downs Morelia 2-0 In Champions Cup Quarters, But Loses Series 6-2
 
Edson Buddle And Jeff Cunningham Tally Goals For Columbus But Six Goal Deficit And A Man Down For 59 Minutes Is Too Much To Overcome Against The Strong Mexican Side

Match Statistics 

COLUMBUS, Ohio (April 16, 2003) -- The Columbus Crew defeated Morelia of Mexico 2-0 in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals Wednesday night at Crew Stadium but lost the two-game total-goal series 6-2.

Forwards Edson Buddle and Jeff Cunningham scored first half goals for The Crew as Columbus peppered Morelia nine shots to three in the first half. But a second yellow card and subsequent ejection of defender Eric Denton in the 31st minute put The Crew a man down for the final 59 minutes of the game and made the challenge to score six goals even more difficult.

Despite playing a man down, Columbus equaled Morelia in shots in the second half (seven), and only outstanding saves by goalkeeper Miguel Fuentes on Cunningham and Ross Paule kept the score at 2-0. Crew goalkeeper Tom Presthus was never seriously tested.

The Crew used the game to get some players valuable playing time, including No. 1 draft pick Diego Walsh and defender Nelson Akwari, who each played 90 minutes. Columbus now returns to MLS play when they travel to New England for a Saturday match against the Revolution at Gillette Stadium. The game is the "Soccer Saturday" nationally televised match on ESPN2 and kicks off at 4 p.m.

The Crew is 1-0-1 on the year in MLS play and sits atop the Eastern Conference with four points.
