Pedro Santos debuted for Columbus Crew SC on August 12, 2017. His first goal for the Major League Soccer club didn’t come until March 24, 2018, in a 3-1 win against D.C. United. It then took the Portuguese winger over a year to find the back of the net again in a meaningful contest, a game-winner on Saturday in a 2-0 victory against Atlanta United.
Over that time, there was frustration as to why Santos wasn’t scoring but that noise came mostly from the fans. It certainly didn’t come from his teammates.
