After the Columbus Crew saw the team’s lead and three points slip away in the final minutes against CF Montreal on Wednesday, the Black & Gold were in need of a rebound performance on Saturday against New York City FC at Lower.com Field. An early NYCFC goal was a punch in the gut. But Columbus didn’t fold after another unlucky bounce went the opponent’s way, they instead responded with one of their best offensive performances of the season to earn a 3-2 win.
A late goal might have been one of the most important for the year.
