Wednesday, the Columbus Crew descended onto Lower.com Field for a night featuring beautiful weather, the backdrop for the Black & Gold’s attempt at finding more consistent form with the season nearing its end. Something, or better yet someone, who didn’t feature though was midfielder Lucas Zelarayán. Scratched late due to a tight hamstring, Columbus had to adjust quickly, beating Inter Miami 1-0.
The Crew weren’t the only side missing key players. For Inter Miami, they were without midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo, who received a red card against the New York Red Bulls on Aug. 27.
