COLUMBUS, Ohio – A pair of defensive lapses either side of halftime and an inability to convert a handful of quality chances late in the first half doomed the New England Revolution in a 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC on Saturday night at MAPFRE Stadium.
Columbus were on the front foot from the opening whistle and turned their bright start into the game’s first goal after just 13 minutes, Ola Kamara getting in behind the Revs’ backline on the counterattack and finishing calmly inside the far post.
“We didn’t have the quality that we can usually have,” said head coach Jay Heaps.
