Columbus Crew SC wasn’t happy with the team’s first 20 minutes against the Chicago Fire last weekend, when the team conceded two goals in a game for the first time all season, but head coach Caleb Porter was pleased with the remainder of the match as the Black & Gold came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw. What made the comeback even more impressive was the Crew did it without two important players on the field in Lucas Zelarayan and Darlington Nagbe due to knee injuries.
After the game, Porter said both players were doing with knee injuries that had them in and out of practice in the week leading up to the game and he didn’t expect either to miss a lot of time.
