Against the New England Revolution, a late goal lost the Columbus Crew a point in a 1-0 defeat last week. Saturday’s match isn’t going to be any easier for the Black & Gold. They travel to play New York City FC this weekend. Without the match congestion of the CONCACAF Champions League, the powder blues of New York have eight points out of a possible 15. That’s good enough for third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
A positive for the Crew is that the team and supporters get to see what they can do after a full week of rest and preparation.
