Last week, the Columbus Crew returned to action following a three-week hiatus due to the international break and managed to earn a 1-1 draw against expansion side Charlotte FC. Head coach Caleb Porter said following the contest that he thought it was “two points dropped for us” following the draw.
It’s been a disappointing start to the campaign for the Crew, as the Black & Gold have amassed just 17 points through 14 games played and sit three points back of a spot to qualify for the 2022 MLS Cup playoffs. Despite the lackluster start, help is on the way as the Crew announced earlier this week that it has completed a club-record transfer of Cucho Hernandez from Watford.
