Crossing the Touchline: Crew vs. Philadelphia Union
Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/Getty ImagesThe last two weeks for the Columbus Crew featured tough tests of the early season. It doesn’t get easier for the Black & Gold on Saturday with a trip to the Philadelphia Union.
Philadelphia sits atop the Eastern Conference standings with 13 points. The team’s four wins and one draw puts it in second place in the way-too-early Supporters’ Shield race, trailing only on goal differential to the Western Conference’s LAFC. Saturday marks the first of two matchups between the Crew and the Union in 2022.
