Toluca 3-2 Crew

Crew crash out of the CONCACAF Champions League on 5-4 aggregate to Toluca. In the end the Crew made too many mistakes to hang with Toluca- Eddie Gaven surrendered a penalty kick, the Crew were very poor at defending free kicks in general, and Steven Lenhart was sent off in the 80th minute. Schelotto scored both Crew goals, one on a PK, one on a rebounded Lenhart shot.For a team in preseason and missing Chad Marshall, it was a good effort against a sloppy and somewhat overconfident Toluca team. Had the Crew been a little more clinical, they very well could have advanced. I'm going to put it down as a missed opportunity.
Over the course of two legs they looked better than they did all last year. It will be interesting to see if they can carry that form into the season.
