Saturday’s 3-0 victory for the Columbus Crew doesn’t only bring a return to the win column for the Black & Gold. On Monday, the Crew also returned to the MLS Team of the Week. After six weeks left off the weekly award, defender Pedro Santos and midfielder Darlington Nagbe put Columbus back on the 11, with Santos in the starting 11 and Nagbe on the bench.
For the first time in 2022, Santos was named to the award. The honor is well overdo for the fullback. After switching in the offseason from winger to fullback, there were questions surrounding the move being a good thing for the Black & Gold.
