The Columbus Crew lose a gutwrenching 2-1 game against the Seattle Sounders. The Crew held a 1-0 lead into the 88-minute in what felt like a season-defining win at home. The Western Conference leaders had other plans as they played spoiler in front of 19,000 plus fans Saturday night. The Columbus Crew lose at home causing vibes to reach critically low levels.<\/p>\n
The Columbus Crew had a noticeable pep in their step out the gate Saturday night<\/a>. The match was broadcast nationally on FOX, and it was a rematch of last year\u2019s MLS Cup. A game Columbus won 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n A lot has changed since then. The Crew has not met expectations this year so far. Seattle on the other hand is competing for a Supporter\u2019s Shield. Even the most optimistic Crew fans could be forgiven for not expecting much tonight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Instead, the Crew took every early punch from Seattle and even delivered a couple of counter shots of their own. Goalkeeper Eloy Room was as advertised as he kept three early shots on goal from the Sounders from finding the back of the net. The Nordeck was very appreciative of his effort and sang his praises loudly.<\/span><\/p>\n Young striker Miguel Berry started the match for the Crew. Fans have clamored for the kid from California to get some minutes in light of Gyasi Zardes’ absence. Berry looked dynamic at times. Winning headers and holding up possession well. Without finding the back of the net, he influenced the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n .@BWPNINENINE<\/a> LET'S GOOOOO#Crew96<\/a> | #CLBvSEA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Mmh0bouM3r<\/a><\/p>\n — The Crew (@ColumbusCrew) August 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBWP comes through<\/span><\/h3>\n
