It’s been a while since Columbus Crew SC was a real danger on goals from set pieces, but this season that has started to change
With eight of its 43 Major League Soccer goals in 2017 coming from dead ball opportunities Crew SC sits in the top half of the league in this category according to WhoScored.com.
What has given the team a boost in the set piece department this season is the return of playmaker Federico Higuain from an injury-plagued 2016 and the recent addition of Portuguese winger Pedro Santos.
