Welcome to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from Columbus Crew SC‘s previous match.
For match 23 of the 2018 MLS Season, we take a look at Patrick Mullins’ 24th minute goal that put Crew SC up 2-0 as part of the team’s 3-2 win at the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
The Black & Gold took an early lead in this match off a Jonathan Mensah goal, assisted by a Mullins header. The Red Bulls seemed shocked by Crew SC’s goal, but maintained the team’s typical high-pressing style.
