It’s not taking very long for Gyasi Zardes to show he fits in quite nicely with Columbus Crew SC.
After being part of the trade that saw Ola Kamara sent to the LA Galaxy, while the Hawthorne, California native was sent back the other way, Zardes scored in his debut, helping Crew SC defeat MLS Cup champions Toronto FC 2-0 on opening day.
A week later and the forward was again influential in a Black & Gold victory, scoring twice in Columbus’ 3-2 win over the Montreal Impact in the home opener.
