After Friday featured two scoreless draws, MLS sprung to life on Saturday with 29 goals scored in seven matches. Unfortunately, Orlando City were the lone side unable to find the back of the net, falling 2-0 to the Crew on a chilly day in Columbus.
Orlando employed the same starting XI that featured in their previous match against Philadelphia. The men in purple held the edge in possession and outshot Columbus 14-6, but an inability to connect in the final third and a Justin Meram brace resulted in three points for the Crew. Here are the key takeaways from the match:
Orlando put in a decent overall performance against a quality side on the road and there are plenty of positives to take away.
