The Columbus Crew’s 2022 season ended on Saturday when the Black & Gold once again let a team come from behind, losing 2-1 at Orlando City SC. Columbus needed just a point from the match and was in a position to get that until conceding a goal from the penalty spot in the 84th minute.
Any time a season doesn’t end with the team lifting a trophy, there is disappointment. That is certainly the case for the Crew, but there is also the sudden nature of how missing the MLS Cup playoffs occurred and the recurring issues of this year’s group.
