Crew SC midfielder Cristian Martinez is back with the Club this week after an international call-up with the Panama Under-20 squad for the 2016 UNCAF U-20 Qualifying Tournament. The 19-year-old was welcomed by the U-20's with open arms.

Martinez arrived the day following the team's first match against Nicaragua in which Panama won convincingly, 6-0.

The day after his arrival, the Black & Gold midfielder made his first appearance of this spell, coming on as a second-half sub versus Guatemala. Guatemala earned three points against Panama, winning 1-0.

In match three of four, Martinez earned the start at right midfield for Panama as they took on Honduras. He played the full 90 minutes as the U-20 squad earned their fourth point of the competition in a 1-1 draw.

Against El Salvador in the final match, the Panama U-20's were unable to get on the board as they lost 2-0. Martinez did not make an appearance in this match.

Now back with the Black & Gold, the young midfielder looks to continue helping his team in 2016 MLS regular-season.

Columbus Crew Soccer Club is back in action this Saturday as they host Orlando City SC to conclude a three-match homestand. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. TICKETS.
