Columbus Crew beat DC United 3-0 to deepen visitors' losing run
Columbus Crew won 3-0 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Matchday 33 of Major League Soccer, a result that left DC United with a fifth straight defeat. The hosts were two goals clear by half-time and never allowed their visitors back into the contest.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Sean Zawadzki opened the scoring in the 16th minute, converting a chance created by Dylan Chambost. Chambost was involved again in the 41st minute, setting up Anass Zaroury to make it 2-0 just before the interval. DC United went into the break with plenty to ask of themselves and little to show for their afternoon.
The third arrived in the 60th minute and came from the visitors' own error, Kimito Nono turning the ball into his own net to make it 3-0. Columbus held possession for 62 per cent of the game, although DC United's four shots on target matched the hosts' four, and no further goals followed.
The win lifted Columbus from 18th to 14th in the table on 44 points, while DC United stayed 27th on 33. Both sides play on Saturday 7 November: Columbus travel to Chicago Fire, and DC United host New York City FC in Major League Soccer.
Dylan Chambost supplied the assist for both of Columbus's first-half goals, for Zawadzki and then Zaroury, and earned the match's highest rating of 8.52. Patrick Schulte followed on 8.1.
DC United committed 20 fouls to Columbus's 11 and collected both yellow cards of the afternoon.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Columbus Crew 76%, the draw 15%, DC United 9%. It finished Columbus Crew 3–0 DC United.
Strength gap makes Columbus Crew clear favourites — Columbus Crew sit 213 points higher on our strength rating, 1554 to 1341, and home sides in Major League Soccer tend to out-perform the global norm, so we give them 76%. The draw sits at 15%, right at the usual draw rate for a strength gap this size, with nothing moving it.
Why Columbus Crew at 76%?
Columbus Crew sit 213 points higher on our strength rating — 1554 to 1341. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.9% of 7,073 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.0%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.0% of 5,282 games vs 44.6% across all 108,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 73–14–13.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 76% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 15% and DC United at 9%.
Why is the draw only 15%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 15.4%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,247.
What did we measure but not count?
Columbus Crew have averaged 11 percentage points more possession than DC United in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Columbus Crew have gained 90 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,971 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
