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 eight of the 2019 MLS Season, we take a look at Jorge Moreira’s 91st minute goal that sealed the Portland Timbers 3-1 victory over the Crew on Saturday.
Portland traveled to Columbus with only one point, six goals for and 17 goals against through their first six matches. The Black & Gold hoped that the Timbers’ defensive struggles would lead to the Crew finally busting out of their almost two-year offensive funk.
