The Columbus Crew laid the team’s first egg of the season at home against Nashville SC last Saturday. An early after a Pedro Santos slip saw Nashville take a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute and from that point forward, the visitors were on cruise control, maintaining a low block for the remainder of the match that the Black & Gold couldn’t break down.
Things don’t get any easier this week. In fact, they get more difficult. The Crew travels to Chester, Pennsylvania to square off against the red-hot Philadelphia Union. The Union, who sit atop the Eastern Conference, are unbeaten so far this year, taking 13 points from the team’s first five matches.
