Cucho Hernandez had two goals, including the go-ahead tally in second-half stoppage time, and an assist as the Columbus Crew used a late rally to earn a 3–1 win over visiting Los Angeles FC on Sunday night, Aug. 25, in the Leagues Cup final.

Hernandez’s match-winner came in the second minute of second-half stoppage time on an effort that was possibly a cross intended for Jacen Russell-Rowe.
