Welcome back 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 18 of the 2020 MLS Season, we take a look at Artur’s 26th minute goal that gave the Crew a 1-0 lead against New York City FC as part of Columbus’s 3-1 win on Sunday.
The Crew entered Sunday’s match against NYCFC winless in the team’s previous four matches and in desperate need of a result. After a few listless performances, Columbus opened the first half of the match with one of the team’s better first 20 minutes of the entire season.
