Last Saturday’s contest against the Seattle Sounders proved nervy for Crew SC. Despite falling down a man in the 15th minute of the match, the Black & Gold held the line and escaped the Emerald City with a valuable road point. Columbus returns to MAPFRE Stadium for its second game in five days as the Philadelphia Union come to town on Wednesday evening.
Since the last encounter with the Black & Gold on March 17th, things haven’t been clicking in the City of Brotherly Love. With the Union amassing just four points in the team’s last six matches and sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with eight points.
