Good evening folks. The Columbus Crew face the Colorado Rapids tonight in Commerce City Colorado. Apologies for the late posting but if you are watching tonight’s match, please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below.
Enjoy the match.
Great game for Hesmer, ugly performance but thats what happens when you play an entire half a man down. Garey worked his tail off and Gaven looked great for coming off his injury, 31 pts now boys!
LETS GO CREW!!!
Hesmer is clearly the man of the match. Anyone who disagrees has clearly watched none of this game. He is sooooo on that he’s stymie Barcelona, Bayern, and ManU combined tonight.
Colorado can’t buy a goal tonight. Just pinged the crossbar. They’re going to have to start inventing ways to miss soon. Spontaneous combustion of the ball as it heads toward the net? Sudden gravity vortex in section 108?
Tiffany May running onto the field?
GOAL!!!!
JASON GAREY IS BACK!
JASON’S CAJUNS (NC branch) GO WILD!
2-0 Columbus in the 74th minute on a freakin’ awesome shot. Garey falling down backwards on the left side of the box and flicks it with the outside of the right foot over a charging Condoul and it hits top inside of the net.
Columbus has 3 shots. 2 on goal. And 2 goals.
Colorado’s up on shots 14-2
Columbus has yet to take a corner kick.
But what’s important? Black and Gold up 1-0. 🙂
Hey whaddaya know – Jason Garey gets some minutes that don’t start with “8”!
62d minute and Garey on for Schelotto.
Good attacking from Colorado but shots still not on target.
… and somehow neither of them belong to Mastroeni or O’Rourke.
The cards flying fast and furious now…
Lenhart’s out in the 42d. Elbowed Rapids defender in the face on a cross in the Colorado box.
Columbus down to 10 men. Will they bunker? Or will they try to force the Rapids to chase Moreno around.
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb foul. Just whips an elbow at the defender’s face as the ball is crossing over his head and the ref is looking right at him when he does it.
That’s not a rookie mistake; that’s a 4th-grade mistake.
Awesome bit of defensive work from Hesmer and the defense in the early 30’s… Conor Casey had a sweet shot but went right at Hesmer and he was able to palm it away.
GOAL CREW!
Lenhart chips over a timid Rapids keeper and Crew up 1-0 about 21st minute.
