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 leg 1 of the of the 2017 MLS Eastern Conference Semifinals, we take a look at Ola Kamara’s sixth minute rebound goal that put Crew SC up 1-0 as part of the 4-1 win over New York City FC on Tuesday.
Columbus, entering this match on an 11-game unbeaten streak, looked to start off hot against NYCFC. Buoyed by some raucous support from the Nordecke, the Black & Gold pushed hard for the opening goal.
