MLS Cup Final Report: Poor performance from Marrufo and his crew

Columbus Crew vs. Portland Timbers
Referee: Jair Marrufo (United States, photo)
Assistant Referee: Peter Manikowski (United States)
Assistant Referee: Corey Parker (United States)
Fourth Official: Chris Penso (United States)
Fifth Official: James Conlee (United States)

Columbus 1-2 Portland
7th Minute: Rodney Wallace scores a key goal for the Timbers to give them a 2-0 lead, but it appeared the ball had been dribbled well out of the field by Darlington Nagbe in the build up. Assuming the ball was out, Columbus' Tony Tchani had given up on the play, resulting in a break for Portland. Huge miss by AR Corey Parker
60th Minute: Wallace has a short range effort appear to hit the crossbar and then the arm of Columbus' Michael Parkhurst on the goal line. In my opinion, this should have been a penalty and a red card, but Marrufo doesn't call it.

Angry Columbus fans protest the in bounds call by littering the field with cans
