Lucas Zelarayán came up with a ridiculous game-winning goal on Saturday night in Chicago.
."I was so, so excited and I took my shirt off. I saw that celebration before and, yes, I was so excited. I did that because I was out of my mind."
The goal was Zelarayán’s second from behind 50 yards in the past two seasons. He scored one from just more than 56 yards out in October. "It's funny because at the beginning of the year I was talking with Lucas," Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy said,."He had a few chances like this and I told him, 'Hey, try it. If this is a logical play, try it. I have no problem with that.' Today he did it and when the ball bounced, I saw the ball like, 'He's going to do it, he's going to do it.' When he touched the ball, it was beautiful.
Cucho Hernández scored first for the Crew in the 59th minute on Saturday night, which gave them a 1-0 lead. Chicago’s Zherdan Shaqiri then tied the match up in the 88th minute with a goal of his own. Zelarayán has scored eight times in 15 starts so far this season, his fourth with the Crew. Columbus holds an 8-3-6 record, which puts it in sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.
