Columbus Crew and Orlando City SC played out a 1-1 draw in MLS action on 13 April, with the home side dominating possession and chances but unable to convert their superiority into victory. The Crew deployed a 4-4-2 formation and generated 20 shots with 7 on target, accumulating 1.54 expected goals, yet their goalkeeper's 85.71% save percentage proved crucial in limiting the damage from Orlando's clinical approach. Visiting Orlando, operating in a 3-5-2 setup, managed just five shots and one on target from 0.61 xG, relying on counter-attacking efficiency rather than sustained pressure. Diego Rossi opened the scoring for Columbus before Marco Pasalic equalised for the visitors, with both sides settling for a point. The Crew's shot volume and xG advantage suggested they should have won, but their inability to capitalise—despite Columbus goalkeeper's 0.79 goals saved above xG—highlighted wastefulness in the final third. Montero's officiating remained unremarkable throughout. This draw leaves Columbus searching for consistency in conversion.
