Gutman hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times. The defeat against Montreal Impact was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored eight minutes into stoppage time (by V. Wanyama).

Columbus Crew form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Columbus Crew so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose). With the Columbus losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

A quick return to home after this game, as Columbus are hosting Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer only three days away.
