Deflected effort helps Crew overcome Union 1-0 in clash of top teams

Philadelphia Union outplayed Columbus Crew but fell 1-0 to a deflected goal from Lucas Zelarayan Wednesday evening.

The Argentinian’s goal spun off Mark McKenzie and around Andre Blake 10 minutes into the second half. McKenzie came close to scoring in the first half when he lined the ball toward goalline and saw Darlington Nagbe clear it off the line..

Jim Curtin restored McKenzie and Ray Gaddis to the lineup, moving Olivier Mbaizo across the formation to left back in place of the injured Kai Wagner. The rest of the team remained the same as the group that knocked off DC United.
