Soccer games are 90 minutes — sometimes more — but come down to individual battles and plays. Those build up to the overall performance but often times, given the low-scoring nature of the game, little plays can make the difference. And sometimes those little plays even go unnoticed.
That was the case in Columbus Crew SC’s 2-1 loss at Orlando City SC on Sunday afternoon.
In the 89th minute of the then tie game between the Lions and the Crew, Orlando’s Chris Mueller made an errant cross that fell harmlessly just beyond the Black and Gold’s Hector Jimenez before trickling out of bounds.
