Cucho Hernández put on a historic performance for the Columbus Crew this weekend for what he did with the ball, and somewhat of another historic performance for what he did off of it. Bring him the MVP and Oscar award.
The Columbus Crew outlasted LAFC 2-1 to win MLS Cup on Saturday in front 20,802 fans at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio. An unbelievable Malte Amundsen assist to Yaw Yeboah gave the Crew their second and game-winning goal.
Amundsen might just have won himself the assist of the season as the Danish center back delivered an inch-perfect ball that cut LAFC’s back line wide open.

TWO FOR THE CREW
Major League Soccer and Mexican players have been synonymous with each other since the beginning of time and 2023 is not the exception.
Throughout history, multiple renowned Mexican players have graced the fields of Major League Soccer. Arriving as homeland legends, as former European stars with much left in the tank or whatever the case may be, players from México have always managed to deliver in the United States.
Tigres defeated LAFC in the Campeones Cup on penalty kicks Wednesday night 4-2 with Argentine goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán stopping two of LA's penalties.
The game was played at LAFC’s BMO Stadium. After the game Guzmán took it upon himself to troll the home fans and celebrate in front of the crowd. They were less than pleased and proceeded to hurl objects at him.
Guzmán was unphased and even managed to catch a water bottle that was thrown.
This guy is good with his hands. Must be a goalkeeper or something.
Major League Soccer has become synonym to having some of the biggest soccer stars in the world and the list of their most valuable players shows just how much the league has grown in value over the past decades.
Lionel Messi has become a headline magnet in the U.S. after making a transfer to Inter Miami and since making his first appearance on the pitch for the MLS club, everything the Argentine has touched has turned into gold, even his bodyguard.
So, who is Messi bodyguard Yassine Cheuko and how much does he make? We did some investigating to find out.
Inter Miami and Lionel Messi's latest road trip to Los Angeles brought out all the stars. The game was remarkable not only for the 3-1 victory Miami secured to keep its unbeaten streak with Messi alive, but also for the sheer number of celebrities that turned up to see the GOAT in action.
Inter Miami and Lionel Messi traveled to Los Angeles to slay defending MLS champs LAFC 3-1 on Sunday for a remarkable victory. The celebrities came out in droves to witness a Miami and Messi masterclass.
Let me be completely open and honest with you. The moment that is getting the most media attention is a clip of Selena Gomez and Tyga reacting to LAFC goalkeeper John McCarthy denying a Messi chance in the first half.
One of Mexico's biggest stars could be trading Europe for MLS. That is if we believe the rumors swirling about a potential move of Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano from Napoli to LAFC.
Several reports in Mexico and Italy are saying that the winger has accepted an offer coming from LAFC, but now it's time for the American club to agree to terms with Napoli to complete the deal.
