Welcome to the Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal from Columbus Crew SC‘s previous match.
For match 30 of the 2018 MLS Season, we take a look at Gyasi Zardes’s 17th minute goal that put Crew SC up 1-0 as part of their 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
The Black & Gold entered this match in desperate need of a win to keep ahead of the Philadelphia Union for fourth and on pace with New York City FC for the third spot in the Eastern Conference.
