Most poignant moment in Columbus Crew's draw comes postgame

Posted Aug 16, 2012
The most significant moment during an emotion-filled evening was not when Columbus Crew forward Jairo Arrieta scored the first goal, nor the save in stoppage time by Andy Gruenebaum to preserve the 1-1 tie Wednesday against the LA Galaxy. No, what the Crew will remember from their first match since the unexpected death of rookie midfielder Kirk Urso on Aug. 5 was the presence of his family in the Crew Stadium locker room after the match.
