Why it matters: The Crew beat Los Angeles FC 3-1 last night to win their first Leagues Cup.
- The Cup started in 2019 and is an annual summer competition between clubs from the MLS and Liga MX, the main soccer league in Mexico.
Zoom in: Forward Cucho Hernández scored twice and was the game's MVP.
Between the lines: After losing the MLS Cup back in December and suffering an embarrassing 5-1 defeat in July, Los Angeles probably isn't eager to face Columbus again any time soon.
The bottom line: There's still plenty of regular season left, but we can't help but already get excited about the possibility of another deep playoff run.
