Welcome to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from Columbus Crew SC‘s previous match.
For Week Five of the 2017 MLS Season, we take a look at Justin Meram’s 13th minute breakaway goal that put Crew SC up 1-0 as part of the 2-0 win over Orlando City on Saturday.
Through the first 12 minutes of the match, the Crew SC players were still trying to find their footing. Orlando employed a high press that forced Columbus goalkeeper Zack Steffen to make some difficult plays out of the back.
