The Columbus Crew fell to Nashville SC 1-0 on Saturday, losing for the first time this season after the Black & Gold went behind and were never able to answer back. On a day that honored a Crew legend Federico Higuain, Columbus lacked that signature finish that was often there from the Argentine to get on the board at Lower.com Field.
Nashville went on the road with a game plan to shut the Black & Gold down and succeeded, walking away with all three points. While the goal that Nashville scored could be attributed to Pedro Santos losing his footing and not being able to challenge the header, the Crew should have capitalized on some of the chances the team created in the match.
