Justin Meram had the fastest goal in Major League Soccer Cup playoff history, Kei Kamara also scored and the hometown Columbus Crew beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Sunday night in the first leg of the Eastern Conference finals.
Meram opened the scoring at the nine-second mark. Kamara had a glancing header off a long ball, Ethan Finlay ran it down but lost control between two defenders and Meram sent the loose ball home.
Kamara scored in the 85th minute. Cedrick used individual skill to beat three defenders in the box and sent a difficult-angled shot off the hand of goalkeeper Luis Robles. Kamara was left alone at the far post for an easy tap in.
New York was held scoreless for the first time since May 24.
The second game is Nov. 29 in Harrison, N.J.
