The Crew may be saved, but saving the season will come down to the 90 minutes regular season finale between Columbus Crew SC and Minnesota United. A strong season that had them climb to third, within touching distance of the Red Bulls and Atlanta United has seen them drop below NYCFC, DC United, and the Union in the last two months.
The Black & Gold have a tenuous grasp on sixth place, with Montreal two points back. The team has swooned over the last month and has missed chances to lock a playoff spot after failing to win against Philadelphia, Montreal, and Orlando City.
