Welcome back 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 two of the MLS is Back Tournament and match four of the 2020 MLS Season, we take a look at Gyasi Zardes’ 22nd-minute goal against the New York Red Bulls that gave the Crew a lead the team wouldn’t relinquish.
You might be noticing a pattern here. Yes, it’s another Zardes Anatomy of a Goal. Fortunately, the goal itself was pretty straight forward - Pedro Santos turned on a perfect throw-in and found Zardes for an easy shot.
