Welcome back to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from the Columbus Crew’s previous match.
For part two of our goal breakdowns from the 2020 MLS Cup, we take a look at Crew winger Derrick Etienne Jr.’s (22) 31st-minute, one-touch curler that doubled Columbus’ lead against the Seattle Sounders. You can find part one here.
Attacking midfielder Lucas Zelarayan opened the scoring for the Black & Gold in the 25th minute, knocking Seattle off balance and signaling the Crew’s intent to take the game to the Sounders.
