It happened again, but not in a good way. The Columbus Crew lost once a game, the team’s sixth defeat on the trot, dropping a 2-1 result to the Seattle Sounders. The Black & Gold took a second half lead, but couldn’t retain it, allowing the visiting Sounders to score two late goals to steal the win.
The Crew came out with a lot of energy to open the game. The team pressed high and tried to unsettle Seattle. It was reminiscent of the MLS Cup Final game plan that worked so well last December.
