These matches on the match index, with sorting and filters →

Yellow cards, red cards and penalties are that match’s totals, both sides included — not Columbus Crew’s alone.

This website’s default convention is for yellow card counts and per-match averages to exclude yellow cards which triggered a player’s expulsion for receiving a second caution in the same match. When this toggle is active, those values are adjusted to include such yellow cards.
