Crew SC coach Gregg Berhalter has an idea, a bright and shiny idea, of how his team must play soccer. They will possess and they will attack and it will be beautiful.
On Saturday night, the Crew’s opponent at Mapfre Stadium was New York City FC, the top team in the Eastern Conference. An announced crowd of 18,189 was denuded by an early rain delay and a couple of passing showers. Those who were there at the end were rewarded with thrills.
The Crew mounted two comebacks. The Blues mounted two comebacks. There were two goals in stoppage time, including the ultimate tying goal by Ethan Finlay.
