Columbus Crew SC played its first game of 2017 on Sunday, a closed-door scrimmage against Brasileirão-side Sao Paulo FC in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
While details of the exhibition were not released by the club (just photos), it appears it did not go well.
Sao Paulo released some highlights from the match and if this is anything to go off of, it was a one-side affair for the home side in what reportedly was a 7-0 beatdown.
The video shows Crew SC’s new-look three-man back line that clearly struggles to defend the Brazilian’s attack.
