The MLS is Back Tournament was unquestionably a good one for Columbus Crew SC. Even though the Black & Gold exited the competition prematurely at the Round of 16, it did so with an undefeated record of three wins and one tie and just one goal conceded.
As expected after such a long break, not everything was perfect and if the days spent in Central Florida didn’t reward the Crew with a trophy, they highlighted at least three minor points of concern that should be examined as the regular season resumes, reportedly by the end of August.
