It’s been a long season for the Columbus Crew: Caleb Porter’s outfit started out 4-1-1 and at least temporarily looked to be a club that would be in the hunt for a playoff spot. One of those 4 wins was a water-soaked 2-0 win over Atlanta United up at MAPFRE Stadium
After that, the wheels fell off. Columbus beat New England 1-0 at home on April 6; in the 16 games following, it gained just 5 points out of a possible 48. It’s righted the ship somewhat (it’s drawn 5 times and lost just once in its last 9 matches), but a spot in the postseason appears to not be in the cards.
