After upsetting Rooney's DC United, Higuain's Crew will now hope to do the same to New York Red Bulls in the first leg of the semi's on Sunday, November 4th at 15:00 EST.

How they got here: Columbus Crew vs New York Red Bulls

We've all heard of Gonzalo Higuain, but there's another Higuain brother who has also been making the family proud. That's none other than Federico Higuain, who plies his trade for Columbus Crew in MLS, and earlier this week, his brace was enough to upset DC United and Wayne Rooney's hopes at progressing to the next round. As a result of a 2-2 stalemate, the tie progressed to spot-kicks, and shot-stopper Zack Steffen pulled off two strong saves - including against Rooney -  to help his side come out on top in a tense penalty shoot-out and prepare to face top seed Red Bulls in Sunday's first-leg semi-finals clash.

Meanwhile, the Red Bulls earned a 1-0 win over Orlando City on Decision day to take their points total to 71 points for the regular season, which set a MLS record. After missing out on post-season play for over two decades, they're back in action and will be hoping to make a big splash after 22 years of disappointment in what would be their first-ever MLS Cup should they manage to win it all at the conclusion of this tournament.

Where they finished the season: Columbus Crew vs New York Red Bulls

Here's how the two sides ended up finishing the regular season. New York Red Bulls finished top of the Eastern Conference, thus earning them an automatic ticket to the semi's. Meanwhile, Columbus Crew ended up in fourth, just behind DC United on goal difference, and having seen off United earlier this week, will take on the top seed in the first leg of the semi's on Sunday.
