LAFC falls to Columbus in the Leagues Cup final

Another championship game against the Columbus Crew, another loss for LAFC.

Columbus once again bested LAFC, riding a Cucho Hernández brace to a 3-1 victory in Sunday’s Leagues Cup 2024 final at Lower.com Field. The game was a rematch of last season’s MLS Cup final, where  LAFC was beaten 2-1.

Olivier Giroud scored his first goal for LAFC to tie the score at 1-1 in the 57th minute, but the Crew scored twice in stoppage time to take the title match.

Hernández scored in the 45th minute to give Columbus a 1-0 lead and tallied the game-winner.
