Saturday’s 2-0 loss for the Columbus Crew to LAFC was tough for many to swallow. After a strong first hour of the match, the Crew gave up two goals due to defensive issues and added another loss to a top Major League Soccer team this season. It’s not always easy to find a positive in a two-goal defeat, but winger Yaw Yeboah showed that he’s making strides in adjusting to MLS, producing a stand-out performance.
After joining Columbus in the offseason, starting strong and subsequently losing his starting spot, signs are there that Yeboah is beginning to adjust to his new team and new league, providing a spark for the Black & Gold.
