Last night, the Crew left Estadio Saprissa as winners of a 1-0 85 minute defensive stand. Eddie Gaven scored for Columbus in the 5th minute off a rather decent overhead pass from Jason Garey.
With the win, the Crew become the first club from the United States to ever achieve victory in the Central American country. And did so shockingly without 6, yes 6, of our starters. Even the US National team has never won a match there. The victory brings MLS clubs total record in CRC to 1-5-1. Up next?? At Chicago on Sunday 9/20, and back home against Cruz Azul (MEX) on Wed 9/23.
I believe this is the first win in Saprissa Stadium. If I'm correct Houston beat another team in Costa Rica.
