The New England Revolution conceded just before halftime as they lost 1-0 to the Columbus Crew on Saturday night.
In the 11th minute, Jalil Anibaba pushed forward to collect a loose ball that he fired towards net. Zach Steffan was there to prevent the defender from getting his second goal in 2019.
Three minutes later, Federico Higuain challenged the Revolution’s goal. The attacker beat Cody Cropper, but couldn’t put his shot past Michael Mancienne.
Anibaba made a crucial block in the 35th minute, nullifying a cross that had eyes for Gyasi Zardes.
