New York City FC vs Columbus Crew: Storylines
New York City FC has spent a lot of money recently but that hasn’t exactly translated into success. The team from the Bronx continues to struggle to find consistency and has had its fair share of avoidable mistakes in defense.
Also, Argentinean playmaker Maximiliano Moralez continues to struggle with a calf injury and his status for Monday’s matchup is still up in the air, which obviously is a huge concern for Ronny Delia’s squad.
Columbus Crew, on the other hand, keeps turning heads and hasn’t missed a beat to start the season. They’re the hottest, most exciting team to watch in Major League Soccer thus far, and facing the sluggish NYCFC is a mouth-watering matchup for them.
Columbus has been flawless in every aspect of the game. On a related note, star midfielder Darlington Nagbe scored one of the most beautiful goals in MLS history vs. Chicago to perfectly round up their season thus far.
