The Crew are tied for ninth with the New York Red Bulls in the East, six points behind Montreal with six matches left. Philadelphia survived a second half in which the Union went down a man and faced a penalty kick to defeat the visiting Columbus Crew 3-0 on Sunday. Elliott’s goal, the second of the season for the central defender, was either very fortunate or well placed. “I can’t say it was a great free kick,” Union coach Jim Curtin said at halftime on the television broadcast. The Crew dug a deeper hole only 30 seconds into the second half when Bedoya scored his second goal of the season on a give-and-go with Kacper Przybylko.
