Whatever the first team can do, we can do better. That might have been the message from Columbus Crew SC’s reserves on Sunday morning.
Just hours after the Black & Gold defeated Orlando City SC 2-0 for the team’s third consecutive win, the reserves took down Michigan State by a 3-0 final scoreline at the EAS Training Center.
As is typically the case for these scrimmages, the players who played major minutes on Saturday did not feature, opening the door for 12 other guys to get some playing time.
