Anatomy of a Goal: Michel completes Orlando’s dissection of Columbus

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 21 of the 2019 MLS Season we take a look at Benji Michel’s 84th minute goal that gave Orlando City SC a 1-0 win over the Crew on Saturday.

Columbus rolled out a brand new formation against the Lions, dropping the typical 4-2-3-1 for a 4-3-3 in hopes of sparking some goals after a weeks of drought. While the Black & Gold dominated in possession and shots, the offensive ineptitude continued aside from a Gyasi Zardes shot off the post in the early minutes of the match.
