The Columbus Crew returned home on Saturday, looking to returning to winning ways at Lower.com Field against LAFC. The Black & Gold were the better team for much of the rain-delayed game, but two costly errors at the back and a continued inability to convert chances continued led to a 2-0 defeat.
Columbus is now 3-3-0 at home, a place the team claims should be a fortress. A stretch of three matches against what are perceived to be some of the top teams in Major League Soccer has yielded just one point after the most recent defeat.
