Columbus Crew SC started brightly in Foxborough against the the New England Revolution, but fizzled out and fell to a 2-1 loss. Here are six thoughts from the Sunday matinee.
Poor finishing costs teams
This was a game Crew SC probably should have won. The Black & Gold had a ridiculous number of missed chances and half-chances, probably approaching double digits. By the time New England equalized in the 24th minute Crew SC legitimately could have scored three or four goals.
Across the board Crew SC’s finishing was not good enough, and in a game that they dominated statistically but still lost, missed chances were the deciding factor.
