Saturday’s match between the Columbus Crew and New York City FC was a thrilling five-goal contest. In it, the Black & Gold went down early, fought back to secure a lead and then kept fighting to pull off a 3-2 victory against New York City FC, the second place team in the Eastern Conference. On Monday, playmaker Lucas Zelarayán earned his fifth MLS Team of the Week award for his two-goal performance in the win.
It’s no surprise that when Zelarayán’s done well in 2022, so have the Black & Gold. In the six matches where the Argentine has scored for Columbus, the Crew’s lost lost was the 2-1 come-from-behind victory against CF Montreal last Wednesday.
