All good things must come to an end.
With the Columbus Crew-Lite lineup, minus Higuain, Mensah, and Afful, the Crew SC were fighting with their backs against the wall against the Chicago Fire and the addition of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
After a hard fought loss in Bridgeview, the Black & Gold are still holding on at the top of the Eastern Conference thanks to their extra match played during International Week.
The three match winning streak may have come to an end, but there shouldn’t be any cause for alarm in Columbus just yet. Even without three of the more dynamic players on the pitch, the Crew still fought a good fight against the Fire, and Higuain will be back at home against Toronto.
