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 32 of the 2017 MLS Season, we take a look at Justin Meram’s 56th minute curler that put Crew SC up 2-0 as part of the 2-0 win over D.C. United on Saturday.
Columbus entered this match with a chance to clinch a playoff spot. After a 13th minute goal by center back Josh Williams, the Black & Gold looked set to cruise to a victory over their longtime rivals.
