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 15 of the 2019 MLS Season, we take a look at Pedro Santos’s 28th minute goal that tied the game against the Colorado Rapids before the Crew eventually lost 3-2.
While most of the team has struggled to adapt in 2019, Santos has flourished under Caleb Porter’s more free system playing some of his best soccer with the Black & Gold. Santos missed last week’s match against Minnesota United to attend to a family situation in Portugal and his absence was greatly felt in one of the worst Crew performances of the season.
