The Columbus Crew fell yet again on Saturday, falling 2-0 to LAFC at Lower.com Field, dropping the Crew to 12th place in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of last-place Chicago Fire.
The baffling part of Saturday’s game was the way the tide changed for the Black & Gold, from the domination of one of Major League Soccer’s best teams to subjugation in a matter of minutes. An array of mistakes and poor decisions got in the way of Columbus securing at least one and maybe all three points, even though the team largely controlled the game for the first half and then some.
