Columbus Crew SC’s good performance on Sunday's scoreless tie against Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City was acknowledged around Major League Soccer as both center back Josh Williams and midfielder Artur were selected for the MLS Team of the Week, the league announced.
Williams, who was paired with Lalas Abubakar in central defense against Kansas City, had a pivotal role on the team’s fifth-straight shutout as the veteran helped Crew SC’s defense with one interception, one clearance and one block. His most impressive stat in the match, though, was his passing accuracy as the 30-year-old center back delivered 96.
