The Columbus Crew’s playoff hopes came to an end on Sunday afternoon at Orlando City SC, as the Black & Gold lost 2-1 in a game that required a win or a tie to get into the MLS Cup playoffs. Derrick Etienne Jr. scored the first goal for Columbus, but Orlando stormed back with two of their own to knock the Crew out of the postseason.
The tactics employed by head coach Caleb Porter weren’t much different from the rest of the season, and neither was the result in what ended up being a disappointing day for Crew fans.
