Giacomo Vrioni played his first minutes as a member of the New England Revolution on Saturday against the Columbus Crew, though it could be a few weeks until he’s fully up to speed.
Vrioni entered for Arnor Traustason in the 67th minute when the game was in a scoreless deadlock. He first paired with Jozy Altidore because head coach Bruce Arena believed that “having two strikers up there could help create a chance to maybe get us a goal and be in a position to win the game.”
When Altidore left in the 82nd minute, Vrioni was asked to play as a lone striker.
