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 10 of the 2019 MLS Season, we take a look at Mauro Manotas’ third minute goal that put the Houston Dynamo up 1-0, sending the Crew to their fourth straight loss on Saturday.
Columbus limped into Saturday’s match on a three-game losing streak, playing their third match in eight days. With Federico Higuain, Jonathan Mensah, and Artur out of the lineup, the Black & Gold fielded a second-choice spine against a dangerous Dynamo team.
