      Columbus Crew advanced to the MLS Eastern Conference semi-finals with a penalty shoot-out win over Atlanta United on Thursday evening.

      Columbus goalkeeper Zack Steffen was the hero at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, stopping eight shots during 120 minutes and two in the shoot-out to set up a Conference semi-final clash with New York City FC.

      Crew had a chance to win it in the last minutes of extra-time, but Harrison Afful's header was cleared off the line by Michael Parkhurst to leave the tie goalless.

      Julian Gressel and Leandro Gonzalez Pirez missed Atlanta's first two spot-kicks, and Adam Jahn slotted his shot home for Columbus as they won the shoot-out 3-1.

      Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City also went into extra-time in their knockout fixture, with Alberth Elis settling matters in Houston's favour after 94 minutes with his 11th goal of the season.
