It took more than four months of play but 2020 finally caught up to the Columbus Crew over the weekend. On Saturday night, the Black & Gold announced that the team would not travel to Orlando City for the scheduled Sunday game due to two staff members testing positive for COVID-19. The game, instead, was postponed.
The team, in conjunction with Major League Soccer, made the smart decision to not get on a plane to Orlando in order to avoid any potential further spread, which could cause more issues.
“First of all, we don’t panic,” captain Jonathan Mensah said of the situation.
