Another day, another loss for Columbus Crew SC. This is beginning to become redundant.
The Black & Gold played hosts to struggling Western Conference opponent Sporting Kansas City, only (by the narrowest of margins) to let three points slip through their fingers after a 1-0 loss at MAPFRE Stadium on Sunday.
The loss marked Columbus’ fifth game decided by only one goal (not counting the U.S. Open Cup loss to Atlanta United). While 17 games remain on the team’s schedule in Major League Soccer play, the current trend tells us that we will know the Crew’s fate well beforehand.
