The Columbus Crew faced the New York Red Bulls on the road for the two teams’ first matchup of the season. Columbus and New York needed wins to steer the ship after both teams walked away with a draw last week but it was the Red Bulls who walked away with three points after coming back from a goal down to win 2-1.
It wasn’t easy for the Crew to get going, having to face a high-pressing New York team that kept the Black & Gold pinned in their own defensive half for a good portion of the first half.
