There have been a lot of firsts for Columbus Crew 2 in the team’s initial year of existence. Crew 2 played its first game in the new MLS NEXT Pro, had its first goal, got its first win and plenty more. On Saturday, there could be another first.
The Black & Gold can clinch a spot in MLS NEXT Pro playoffs with a win in regulation against Orlando City B on Saturday at Osceola Heritage Park. Columbus will have to do this without head coach Laurent Courtois after he received a red card last week in Crew 2’s penalty kick shoot out loss to FC Cincinnati 2.
