## Resource

Just days after the Crew fired Henrik Rydström, interim head coach Laurent Courtois stepped into his first match against the same New York City FC side that embarrassed Columbus 3-0 not long ago. This time? The Crew responded with a strong 1-0 win and one of their best overall performances in weeks. Matt and Gabe break down the tactical changes under Courtois, why the team looked more alive and connected, whether this can actually spark a turnaround, and what still needs work moving forward. It was only one game… but Crew fans got something to feel GOOD about going forward.
