Columbus Crew 2 came into Suburau Park looking to jump up to the top spot in the MLS NEX TPro. However, Philadelphia Union II gave the visitors a much tougher fight than to be expected for a team below the playoff line. A shocking last-minute stellar goal handed the Black & Gold their third loss on the season, falling to Philadelphia 2-1.
Crew 2’s form as of late has reflected the first teams, entering the game on a seven-match unbeaten streak that included back-to-back four-goal victories. The Union II most recently earned a win that broke a three-game losing streak.
