The Columbus Crew visited Orlando SC, a team which the Crew has struggled with of late. The Black & Gold went down 2-0 before staging a shock comeback in the second half to pull even, only to lose 3-2. With the loss, Columbus is now 1-7 in the last eight games and falls further off the MLS Cup playoff pace.
With nine absences, the Crew switched from the team’s usual formation and into a 4-1-4-1 formation. This look was similar to the “inverted triangle” that the Black & Gold used in the comeback against FC Cincinnati.
