In the heat of moments, I'm glad that humanity persists

The length Crépeau goes to to ensure the ref got the treatment he needed 🥹👏

[rippledawn]

Special nods to Jacob Shaffelburg, Alistair Johnston, and Maxime Crépeau who were all worthy of player of the match to me.

Shaffelburg was electric while he was on the pitch, almost everything we did going up the pitch was connected to him somehow.

Johnston was a rock at the back, didn’t put a foot wrong at all this game.

And Crépeau stepped up in that shootout and won the match for us

Columbus Crew: 2023 MLS Cup Champions

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Columbus Crew have turned their bold, possession-centric style into the league's ultimate prize, capturing MLS Cup 2023 presented by Audi with a 2-1 win over LAFC.

Head coach Wilfried Nancy's team produced a masterclass performance Saturday at rain-soaked Lower.com Field, resulting in the Eastern Conference club's third-ever MLS Cup after their 2008 and 2020 squads also entered the history books as champions.

First-half goals from Cucho Hernández (33') and Yaw Yeboah (37') gave Columbus a cushion to absorb a Dénis Bouanga (74') lifeline, denying LAFC's MLS Cup repeat quest. In the process, head coach Wilfried Nancy's group has climbed the 29-team mountaintop that began with MLS is Back weekend on Feb. 25.

Before raising the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy, Columbus pulled ahead through Cucho's authoritative penalty kick – helping him earn MLS Cup MVP presented by Audi honors and finish with an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs co-leading five goals. That opportunity arose when referee Armando Villarreal pointed to the spot, judging LAFC defender Diego Palacios to have handled a flicked-up touch from Diego Rossi.

The Crew, the league's highest-scoring team in 2023, quickly doubled their advantage when Yeboah capped an 11-pass buildup. The Crew's left wingback was on the receiving end of Malte Amundsen's line-splitting through ball, then sliced home an outside-the-foot finish past goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau.

But, as was so often the case in 2023, Bouanga would not be silenced. The Best XI forward slipped a second-effort shot past goalkeeper Patrick Schulte, drawing him level with teammate Carlos Vela for the most calendar-year goals (38) in MLS across all competitions (Vela's MVP-winning 2019).

The Black & Gold's late push fizzled out, though. And the hosts, after seven minutes of second-half stoppage time, were left dancing as champions.

Goals 33' - CLB - Cucho Hernández 37' - CLB - Yaw Yeboah 74' - LAFC - Dénis Bouanga

Three Things THE BIG PICTURE: Four years ago, only 1,500 fans watched Columbus beat Seattle Sounders FC for the MLS Cup 2020 trophy – a necessity at Historic Crew Stadium amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, 20,802 fans flooded to the club's new state-of-the-art venue for an unforgettable night. Factor in how last year Columbus compensated CF Montréal to extract Nancy as head coach and the club's rise is even more memorable. LAFC? They lost their third final of the year and got a cold reminder of how hard it is to repeat, something not accomplished since the 2011-12 LA Galaxy.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH: Yeboah's goal was champagne football in motion. What a ball from Amundsen.

MAN OF THE MATCH: Cucho! The MLS Cup MVP crowned a spectacular year and is forever a Crew legend.

Next Up CLB: End of 2023 season LAFC: End of 2023 season

PIERDE TRI EL LIDERATO

Ciudad de México.-En el reencuentro de la Selección Mexicana con su afición después de dos años, reapareció el grito homófobico, hubo abucheos al Tri y además el equipo perdió el liderato del Octagonal tras emparar a un gol por bando ante Canadá con goles de Jorge Sánchez y Jonathan Osorio en duo llevado a cabo en el Estadio Azteca

Es cierto que el árbitro perdonó un penal que rayó en lo absurdo sobre Hirving Lozano, luego de que al portero Maxime Crépeau se le escapara la pelota en un despeje de manos, pero también lo es el que los canadienses tuvieron varias opciones de gol y por momentos fueron mejor que el equipo de casa.

Eso provocó los abucheos al medio tiempo y al finalizar el juego. México tiene 8 puntos, al igual que el puntero Estados Unidos, que está ariba en diferencia de goles.

El gol con el que el Tri abrió el marcador fue una pintura, primero por el trazo largo en diagonal de César Montes a Jesús Gallardo, quien extendió para Hirving Lozano, el cual encontró un espacio entre los centrales para mandar un servicio a la incorporación de Jorge Sánchez, quien recibió con la derecha y definió de zuda, un golazo que firmaría el mejor delantero.

Tanto que se habló de cómo le afectaría a Sánchez marcar a Alphonso Davies, una de las estrellas del Bayern Múnich, y respondió con esa anotación.

En cambio, Davies falló un remate, sin portero, tras un trazo de Tajon Buchanan (otro de los que mandó el balón fuera del marco ya con Memo Ochoa vencido) y después tocó mal en un contragolpe en el que tres canadienses tenían solo la resistencia de Jesús Gallardo.

Eso sí, tuvo una gran intervención en aquel pase hacia Jonathan Osorio, en el tanto del empate poco antes del medio tiempo.

Fue un partido en el que Ochoa sí tuvo trabajo, como al atajar un cabezazo de Vitoria o el disparo de Richie Laryea o un remate más de Fraser.

México inquietó a los canadienses en una acción en la que Hirving Lozano quedó mano a mano y envió el balón por encima de la portería, así como en una jugada en la que el esférico pegó en el travesaño tras un cabezazo de Alistair Johnston, en su intento por evitar el remate de Raúl Jiménez.

El domingo, México recibe a Honduras en la cancha del Azteca.

Canada you played far better than I could’ve even hoped for!

Sure we lost, but playing against the best team in the world we held our own admirably!

Now we just need to start finishing all those chances we created and fix those balls in behind, and we could get some points from the next two games.

Special notice to Crépeau who was Canada’s player of the match for me, he had some incredible saves, really kept us in the match
