The Columbus Crew won the 2024 Leagues Cup title Sunday night, defeating Los Angeles FC 3-1 behind two goals and an assist from striker Cucho Hernandez.
Hernandez scored the Crew's first goal in the first half with a header off a cross from Mo Farsi at the 45-minute mark.
Columbus held the edge until the 57th minute when Olivier Giroud tallied his first goal for LAFC. It came off a corner kick and tied the score 1-1.
That is where the score would stand through the 90th minute of play, and with the Leagues Cup rule stating there is no overtime, the final would be determined by penalty kicks if neither team had broken through in the four minutes of stoppage time. Less than two minutes into that additional time, Hernandez found the back of the net again.
From the top-left corner of LAFC's box, Hernandez ripped a shot through the air and past goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to take back the lead as time ticked on.
In the game's waning moments, Hernandez created a run off an LAFC turnover. He found Jacen Russell-Rowe near the middle of the field with a pass. Two touches later, Russell-Rowe secured the victory with a third goal.
This is the Crew's second title in less than a year, having won the MLS Cup in December 2023 with a 2-1 victory over LAFC at Lower.com Field.
