Winning on the road in MLS is tough. Columbus Crew SC rarely threatened to take all three in San Jose as they fell 2-0 on the road.
The 3-4-2-1 that Gregg Berhalter turned to steady the defense has left the offense struggling for consistency. Columbus found the wrong kind of consistency last night as the offense disappeared nearly entirely. The Black & Gold was able to get off 10 shots, but there was very few of quality. Only Adam Jahn’s close range effort was an excellent chance. The rest highlighted Crew SC’s ablity to create real chances or lack there of.
