2023 MLS Cup Bookends Dominate Season for the Crew
The Columbus Crew performed at an insane level throughout the 2023 MLS season, easily earning themselves a spot in the postseason. So, it makes sense that they would put on an equally exciting show during the MLS Championship. Columbus scored two early goals in the first half and maintained sturdy defense in the second half, sending the fans into a roar that only amped up the Crew more. This feat wasn’t easy against the reigning champions, LAFC, who was more than ready to give it their all for back-to-back titles.
It’s special to see the entire roster come together and rise to the occasion, all while staying true to themselves and what they know – which was the key to success according to head coach Wilfried Nancy. Leading the Columbus Crew to become MLS Champions was particularly meaningful for Nancy, as he’s the first black coach to do so in the history of the league. With the milestones and a massive win for the Columbus Crew and all the passionate supporters, it’s clear why this MLS Cup Final is worth celebrating for a long time to come.
