Columbus Crew SC dropped the team’s first game of the 2019 season Saturday night, losing to Philadelphia Union 3-0 away from home. Even without some key starters, this was not expected from a side who was previously unbeaten through the first three games of the year.
Early on, it didn’t seem like the game would play out like it did. While Philadelphia was the dominant team early on, Columbus did have some decent opportunities. The Crew, however, recorded only one shot on goal all evening and is the first time they have been shutout all season.
