The Columbus Crew players and supporters came away from last week’s draw against the San Jose Earthquakes with a bad taste in their mouth. The Black & Gold missed out on a clear chance to earn three points on the road after playing 60-plus minutes with a man advantage. Although the team played well for most of the match, poor set piece discipline and a few questionable no calls from the referee saw the Crew come away with only one point.
One week and a few rounds of mouthwash later and that bad taste is starting to fade.
