Columbus Crew team news and form: Leagues Cup fever still here
After beating coach Steven Cherundolo’s LAFC in the grand final, the Crew managed to pick up the Leagues Cup title. Surely, the fans are on cloud nine over this unexpected success. However, the players’ focus must be on the match against New York City, as the visitors are no joke.

Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez
Back when the Crew signed Hernandez, the fans expressed concerns he wouldn’t fit in. Well, the Colombian goalscoring machine comes into the match with two goals in the Leagues Cup final against LAFC. Goals which were vital for the final 3-1 score at Lower.com Field.
Second player to watch: Diego Rossi
Behind every tremendous goalscorer is a talented creator. Such is the case here as well, as Rossi is the top assists-provider for the home team.
