Background 2009 Columbus Crew season Review Prior to the start of the 2010 MLS season, the Crew began play in the CONCACAF Champions League, with a quarterfinal-fixture against Group B winner, Toluca of Mexico.Columbus Crew: News: Crew to face Toluca in champs league http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20091128&content_id=7724252&vkey=pr_coc&fext=.jsp&team=t102 https://web.archive.org/web/20100219143929/http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20091128&content_id=7724252&vkey=pr_coc&fext=.jsp&team=t102 February 19, 2010 2025-05-10 web.mlsnet.com live During group stage, the Crew finished in a second place in their group with an even 2-2-2 record, narrowly edging the Costa Rican champions Saprissa to become the only American club in the knockout stage. On February 22, 2010; Columbus hosted Toluca before 4,500 people at Crew Stadium for the first leg. For the match, Columbus would be missing veteran striker Guillermo Barros Schelotto and defender Frankie Hejduk. In the match, Mexican-international Sinha opened the scoring giving Los Rojos a critical away goal and the lead over the Crew. Following the goal near misses from Steven Lenhart and Eddie Gaven later on in the half almost drew things level. Shortly before halftime, however, Antonio Ríos doubled the lead for Toluca giving them a very strong advantage. However, the Rojos would relinquish their lead in the second half. Lenhart would bag a pair of goals in the 66th and 83rd minute of play to draw the match back on parity, and the Crew would head to Toluca tied at two on aggregate.

Prior to 2010, the Columbus Crew had been to the U.S. Open Cup final twice in 1998 and 2002 and only won the cup once in 2002. On June 29, 2010, the Crew began the competition in the third round hosting the Rochester Rhinos of the D2 Pro League at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The Crew's Andy Iro scored first in the 30th minute by heading in a corner kick from teammate Eddie Gavin. Later, in the second half, Rochester evened the score at one when substitute Darren Spicer scored from 17 yards out. The Rhinos' Alfonso Motagalvan was sent off in the 84th minute for a dangerous tackle on Emilio Rentería forcing Rochester to play the final minutes of the game with just ten men on the field.https://www.nasl.com/article/rhinos-eliminated-from-open-cup-on-late-goal Rhinos Eliminated From Open Cup on Late Goal Mark Yesilevskiy June 29, 2010 NASL.com September 6, 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110206184622/http://nasl.com/article/rhinos-eliminated-from-open-cup-on-late-goal February 6, 2011 The score remained level until the 4th minute of stoppage time when Steven Lenhart scored on a "half volley" giving Columbus the victory.http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter-recap/lenhart-keeps-crew-alive-stoppage-time-strike Lenhart keeps Crew alive with stoppage-time strike June 29, 2010 Major League Soccer September 6, 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100702145518/http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter-recap/lenhart-keeps-crew-alive-stoppage-time-strike July 2, 2010 A week later on July 6, Columbus faced the Charleston Battery of the USL Second Division in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals. The match was hosted by Columbus, again at Crew Stadium. In the 37th minute, Steven Lenhart was fouled in the penalty area while going for a cross and the referee signalled for a penalty kick. Emilio Rentería took the penalty kick and drove a right-footed shot into the back of the net making the score 1–0. Columbus extended their lead in the 70th minute on a goal from Steven Lenhart, and again in the 87th minute when Eddie Gavin scored off of a pass from Emmanuel Ekpo. The Crew won 3–0 earning their first U.S. Open Cup semifinal appearance since 2002.http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter-recap/crew-rout-battery-usoc-semis-first-time-02 Crew rout Battery, in OC semis for 1st time since '02 July 6, 2010 Major League Soccer September 6, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100811063457/http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter-recap/crew-rout-battery-usoc-semis-first-time-02 11 August 2010 dead On September 1, 2010, the Columbus Crew visited Washington, D.C. to face MLS club D.C. United in their semifinal match at RFK Stadium. Pablo Hernández scored in the 17th minute on a penalty kick to give D.C. an early lead at 1–0. D.C. United almost kept that lead for the victory until the 89th minute when United's Marc Burch deflected a shot by Columbus's Andy Iro into the net for an own goal, tying the score and sending the match into extra time. In the 98th minute, the Crew's Steven Lenhart dribbled the ball into the 18-yard box and was tripped by D.C. United's Carey Talley to draw a penalty. Guillermo Barros Schelotto took the penalty kick and scored the game-winning goal. The 2–1 final score secured the Columbus Crew's spot in the final.http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter-recap/late-drama-pushes-crew-past-dc-open-cup-final Late drama pushes Crew past DC, into Open Cup final September 1, 2010 Major League Soccer September 6, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100905165258/http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter-recap/late-drama-pushes-crew-past-dc-open-cup-final 5 September 2010 dead June 29 Third Round 7:30 PM EDT Columbus Crew (MLS) Ohio 2–1 https://thecup.us/2010/07/05/2010-us-open-cup-third-round-crew-advance-on-stoppage-time-goal/ New York Rochester Rhinos (D2 Pro) Iro 30 Lenhart 90+4 Spicer 69 Motagalvan 0 85 Columbus Crew Stadium Columbus, OH 1,790 Hilario Grajeda Michael KinderSandip Basu Sorin Stoica W July 6 Quarterfinals 7:30 PM EDT Columbus Crew (MLS) Ohio 3–0 https://thecup.us/2010/07/07/2010-us-open-cup-quarterfinals-columbus-crew-cruise-past-battery-return-to-semifinals/ South Carolina Charleston Battery (USL-2) Zayner 24 Rentería 38 pen.
