This Saturday, Columbus Crew SC takes the field in Frisco, Texas against FC Dallas. What is different about this match from the others is that the Crew come into it coming off the team’s worst loss of the season, giving up three goals in a 3-1 loss to Toronto FC.
Toronto exploited the left side of the Columbus defense, scoring all its goals on movement and passing originating on the left. Milton Valenzuela, who normally starts in the left back position, came on in the second half in relief of Hector Jimenez, who played only 72 minutes since the Black & Gold returned from the MLS is Back Tournament.
