Columbus failed to pick up their first set of consecutive victories this season, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Colorado Rapids on Sunday. That followed a hard-earned 3-2 victory over New York City FC on August 7 that snapped their two-game winless run.

With 34 points from 24 games, the Crew are fifth in the Eastern Conference standings, level on points with New England Revolution.
