Columbus Crew will take on Club León in the Leagues Cup group stage on Tuesday.
The Crew looked sharp in their 3-1 win over Puebla, controlling tempo early and spreading the goals across Malte Amundsen, Diego Rossi, and new arrival Andres Herrera. While some regulars like Daniel Gazdag started on the bench, depth wasn’t an issue, and with Lower.com Field hosting again, Columbus can lean on home energy and midfield rhythm to advance.
For León, the stakes are higher after a flat performance in a 2-0 loss to NYCFC. James Rodríguez missed a penalty, and the Mexican side struggled to create against a more aggressive press.
León haven’t traveled well in this tournament, and with goals drying up outside a narrow win over Chivas, they’ll need more than individual moments to keep pace.
