Columbus Crew SC has been busy since we last saw the team up close? On Saturday, it was a dramatic, lat equalizer for the Black & Gold last Saturday against the New York Red Bulls. in order to preserve a 1-1 draw at home. This was followed by a Tuesday loss to the Chicago Fire that eliminated Columbus from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Now Crew SC must focus on Sporting Kanas City in this Sunday evening clash.
SKC is coming off a similar week. Last Saturday, Sporting drew 2-2 with the Montreal Impact on the road and were also knocked out of the Open Cup midweek, 3-1 to the Houston Dynamo.
