What We Learned: Crew vs. FC Cincinnati

Major League Soccer is officially back and yet another night of the MLS Is Back Tournament action has come and gone. This time, it was Columbus Crew SC thrashing in-state rivals FC Cincinnati 4-0 in the two teams’ opening game of the tournament, the first fixture from MLS is Back which featured a team scoring more than two goals.

The match was quite cut and dry from start to finish, as the Black & Gold saw Lucas Zelarayan, Youness Mokhtar and Gyasi Zardes all on the scoresheet. After a world-class free kick from Zelarayan in the first half, the Crew never looked back after adding two tidy finishes from Zardes and a curling effort off the post and into the net from Mokhtar.
