The Columbus Crew fell 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night, extending the team’s losing streak to six games. This ties the longest consecutive string of defeats by the club in its history and is now the longest for the Crew in the post-shootout MLS era.
While it is another defeat, this one will likely hurt more than any of the other five. The Black & Gold scored the opening goal in the 77th minute and led as late as the 88th minute. Even a point, after allowing the Sounders to equalize, would have been something.
