The Columbus Crew came traveled to the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening riding a high due to last week’s 4-0 victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps in the home opener of the 2022 MLS season. However, the Black and Gold learned that San Jose was much more resilient than Vancouver and paid for it in the end, grabbing only one point from what should have been three.
Columbus fielded the same starting 11 as last week, with new addition Miloš Degenek once again starting for the injured Josh Williams. As great as Degenek was on his debut, his second game in a Crew kit was not the same, as he was called for stepping on Paul Marie’s foot in the box at the fifth minute.
