A week ago, the Columbus Crew lost the team’s first game of the 2022 season, falling 1-0 to Nashville SC at Lower.com Field. This past Saturday, the Crew dropped another 1-0 result, this time on the road to the Philadelphia Union.
While the two scorelines were the same, the games were not. Unlike Nashville on the road, a team that sat back after scoring the opening goal in the first 30 minutes, the Union continued to push at least some numbers forward, looking for a second and not sitting all 11 players behind the ball.
