Columbus entered play Saturday in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, five points back of the seventh and final postseason spot. “We want to take as many points as possible,” Union coach Jim Curtin said. “The end goal is to host a playoff game, not just get in.”Columbus has two wins and a draw in its past three MLS games. It was a confidence boost for the Crew, but coach Caleb Porter knows Philadelphia presents another challenge. They’re very good at executing their philosophy and their system that they play – their game model.”The Union also are 2-0-1 in the past three matches.
