    • With tonight’s win, the Black & Gold have only lost one of the last 28 matches (19-1-9) across all competitions at Lower.com Field, dating back to the 2023 season, and one of the past 20 MLS regular season matches (13-1-6).
    • Tonight marks the fifth time that the Crew have scored four or more goals at home since 2023. In all MLS matches, the Black & Gold rank first with 96 goals since the opening of the 2023 season.
    • The Crew have registered 30 multi-goal matches (21 in 2023, nine in 2024), tied with the LA Galaxy for the most since 2023.

    • The Crew recorded a 66.9 percentage of possession in tonight’s match, the 15th consecutive MLS match recording more possession than their opponent.
