It’s crunch time in the 2021 Major League Soccer season with September arriving. The Columbus Crew will be in Florida this weekend for a big match against Orlando City SC, the second-place side in the Eastern Conference. These two teams haven’t played since Nov. 4 of last year, a match that Orlando won 2-1 with 10 men after Nani was sent off.
In the 10 months since that game, the Black & Gold have won an MLS Cup, opened a new stadium, changed its name and logo twice and gone through ups and downs on the field in the 2021 season.
