    Photos: Crew Net 3-2 Win over New York City FC

    Columbus Crew bounced back from Wednesday’s disappointment with a gutsy performance to defeat high flying New York City FC 3-2 in a thrilling encounter at Lower.com Field on Saturday night.

    NYCFC took an early lead after just three minutes, but the lead didn’t last long as a free flowing Luis Diaz put Cucho Hernandez through onto goal and the Crew’s newest superstar managed to keep his composure to slot the ball into the New York goal.

    A nightmarish giveaway from goalkeeper Sean Johnson gifted the Crew an opening to take the lead and a delightful chip from Lucas Zelarayan found it’s way past the agonizing dive of the NYCFC ‘keeper to put Columbus up 2-1.

    At the other end of the field, Columbus shot-stopper Eloy Room produced and string of good saves before being beaten by a cruel deflection to even the scores before Zelarayan once again found himself in the right place at the right time to fire home another Diaz assist and send the home crowd wild, this time giving the Crew a lead they wouldn’t give up.

    Columbus are away to Colorado next weekend, before a Sunday afternoon contest on August 21 with Atlanta back on home soil.
