Columbus Crew SC earned a point on the road in the 1-1 tie against the San Jose Earthquakes. A Gyasi Zardes goal in the 65th minute, after a first half penalty kicked, extended the Black & Gold’s unbeaten streak to four games. The Crew withstood several quality goal-scoring opportunities by the Earthquakes in the first 20 minutes of the match as well as in the final minutes when MLS veteran Chris Wondolowski was in position to deliver a dramatic goal late that did not materialize.
