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 29 of the 2019 MLS Season, we take a look at Gyasi Zardes’ 22nd minute goal that put the Crew up 1-0 and started the rout against FC Cincinnati on Sunday.
The Black & Gold entered the second and final Hell is Real Derby of 2019 almost certainly, if not mathematically, eliminated from the playoffs. Following a disappointing but thrilling come-from-behind draw against FC Cincy when their Ohio rivals visited MAPFRE Stadium just two weeks ago, the Crew had the pride of Ohio and a sold out traveling supporters section to play for on Sunday.
