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 match 13 of the 2018 MLS Season, we take a look at center back Lalas Abubakar’s rocket header that put Crew SC up 1-0 as part of their win over the New England Revolution on Saturday.
Today’s breakdown will be a little shorter than normal because there isn’t a lot of build up on a corner kick. Nonetheless, this play provides a valuable look at the Black & Gold’s strategy on these set plays.
