Crew 2 drops first-ever MLS NEXT Pro game to Inter Miami II 2-0
After a long, grueling preseason, Columbus Crew 2, playing in the new MLS NEXT Pro league got the team’s first taste of competitive action. Crew 2 had five preseason friendlies to get up to fitness and build some much-needed chemistry. It was not enough, however, as Crew 2 fell 2-0 to Inter Miami II.
The Crew 2 roster is made up of players from six different countries, and almost all of these players were playing together for the first time on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale. In the end, the difference between the two sides tonight was a second-half brace from Inter’s Emerson Rodriguez.
