Max Arfsten and Sean Zawadzki score goals as Crew beats Earthquakes 2-1
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Max Arfsten scored in the 61st minute, Sean Zawadzki
added his first goal of the season and Patrick Schulte had five saves Saturday
night to help the Columbus Crew beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1.
Arfsten flashed some fancy footwork, high-stepping through the left side of the
area and eventually causing defender Max Floriani to fall down as his rising
shot from the corner of the 6-yard box slipped under the cross bar to cap the
scoring.
Zawadski made a sliding finish, redirected a free kick played to the far post
from the left side by Diego Rossi back inside the near post to give the Crew a
1-0 lead in the 29th minute.
Beau Leroux played a through ball to Josef Martnez, who slipped behind the
defense and, as goalkeeper Patrick Schulte charged off his line, chipped a shot
into the net from near the left corner of the 6-yard box. Martnez has scored
in back-to-back games and has five of his six goals this season in the last
four matches, beginning with a hat trick in a 6-1 win over San Jose on April 6.
San Jose (3-6-1) has lost three consecutive games and is 1-6-1 following
back-to-back wins to open the season.
Columbus (6-1-3) had a three-game win streak snapped last time out with a 1-0
loss to Inter Miami, ending a string of eight straight without a loss.
