Columbus Crew SC’s losing streak came to an end, but the Black & Gold took only one point at home as they tied 2-2 with the New England Revolution on Saturday at MAPFRE Stadium. Gyasi Zardes and Andrew Farrell (own goal) scored for Columbus while Teal Bunbury and Cristian Penilla were New England’s goal scorers.
Winless in the last four matches after going undefeated in the first four, Crew SC now has 11 points (3-3-2) in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter anticipated during the week that the lineup could see a few changes for this match after three straight losses and he made one, bringing Niko Hansen into the starting 11 over Cristian Martinez.
