Columbus Crew give up 2-0 lead, fall to Toluca FC in PKs during Leagues Cup: Takeaways
The Crew had already coughed up their two-goal advantage over Liga MX's Toluca FC by the 88th minute of their Leagues Cup group-stage matchup when forward Diego Rossi stepped up for his second penalty kick in regulation. On his shot rested a chance for Columbus to avoid a penalty kick shootout Unlike the penalty kick Rossi took in the first half to give Columbus a 1-0 lead, this attempt by the 27-year-old was saved by Toluca goalkeeper Luis Garcia, leading regulation to end in a 2-2. Toluca eventually defeated the Crew 4-2 in a penalty kick shootout at Field on July 29. Crew replay: Columbus Crew fall to Toluca FC in PK shootout during Leagues Cup group play Rossi was one of two Crew players, along with midfielder Amar Sejdic, who missed an attempt during the shootout. "He took the opportunity to score," Crew coach Wilfried Nancy said. "He didn't do it (on the two occasions) it could happen." All three of the penalty kicks Rossi sent were to the bottom-right corner, which worked against Garcia the first time as he dove to the left. Garcia dove right on the second and third attempts, putting him in the perfect position to make the saves. Rossi entered the game with a team-high four penalty kicks converted this year, connecting on all his attempts before facing Toluca. Outside the penalty kicks, Garcia had a fairly quiet night, facing just two shots on target, one of which Crew midfielder Max Arfsten converted into a goal during the 48th minute. Toluca, despite taking 20 shots with eight on target throughout the game, was scoreless until striker Joao Fernandes capitalized on Crew goalkeeper Patrick Schulte failing to secure the ball during the 71st minute. Schulte had just made the save on a shot from forward Helio Castro when the ball bounced off his chest and out of his arms. "Pat wanted to catch the ball, but didn't get the ball," Nancy said. "I think that it was offside on this one, but again, this is what I saw. They (Toluca) were pushing." Fernandes recorded his second goal at the 80-minute mark to level the game. The Crew would have earned three points if they had maintained their lead, but walked out of their first group-stage game with one point toward their Leagues Cup standings, while Toluca secured two. The top four teams from each league, based on points accumulated at the end of the group stage, will advance to the tournament's knockout rounds. BLACK & GOLD: Sign up for our weekly Columbus Crew newsletter Columbus Crew without multiple key players for PK shootout The Crew had used five substitutions by the end of regulation, leaving them without Arfsten, Daniel Gazdag and Jacen Russell-Rowe in the shootout – all of whom had stepped up for penalty kicks in the past. During Gazdag's time with the Philadelphia Union, he only missed one of 25 penalty kicks. More recently, Gazdag found his first goal with the Crew off a penalty kick against D.C. United on July 19. Nancy knows Gazdag's track record, though that was far from Nancy's mind when he took Gazdag out with a little less than 15 minutes remaining in regulation. "I saw in the moment that Daniel was already a bit tired," Nancy said. "He's played many minutes. The idea was to get a bit of freshness, simple as that." Arfsten and Russell-Rowe have both had their share of success in penalty kick shootouts, with Arfsten recording the series winner against Tigres in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals. Having been in those high-pressure moments before made watching the Toluca shootout even more difficult for Arfsten. "You can't affect it at all," he said. "So, it's definitely an emotional roller coaster. Every time they go, we want a save, and every time we go, they want to score. So, it's tough, it's emotional." Columbus Crew have second matchup with late-game defensive struggles The Crew's Leagues Cup opener marked the second consecutive game in which they have allowed an opponent to come back by scoring multiple goals with less than 20 minutes remaining in regulation. Against Orlando City SC in regular-season action, the Crew conceded three goals after the 75th minute, which led to a 3-2 Orlando victory. "That's two in a row, we know that's a lot," Crew defender Steven Moreira said. "Of course, 2-0 at home, we have to finish the game." The Crew's struggle in keeping teams off the board late in games comes on the heels of their struggles to avoid early conceded goals. Against FC Cincinnati and Nashville SC, Columbus allowed both teams to score within the first three minutes. Columbus Crew, Toluca FC displayed physicality in first Leagues Cup matchup in 2025 Both teams maintained a bruising style of play, and there were a few occasions when players got into heated arguments, having to be separated by officials or teammates. The Crew and Toluca finished with a combined 29 fouls and seven yellow cards. "That's the game," Moreira said. "I really like it, honestly, because they showed character, we did too, against a team like this. They come, they kick, and that was a good game, good fight, two good teams." Columbus will host Liga MX's Club Puebla on Aug. 1 for their second of three games in the tournament's group stage. A game against Leon will follow on Aug. 5. bmackay@ @brimackay15 Get more Columbus Crew content by listening to our podcast This article originally appeared on The Columbus Dispatch: Columbus Crew drop lead, fall to Toluca in Leagues Cup: Takeaways

Tempers flare as Columbus Crew defeat Club Leon in Leagues Cup
The Crew earned the most they could point-wise against Club Leon in their Leagues Cup matchup, but now must wait for the other final group-stage games to play out across the next two days to determine if their victory was enough to reach the quarterfinals. On Aug. 5, the Crew defeated Leon 1-0 to boost their point total to seven with a three-goal differential following three group-stage games. Replay: Columbus Crew top Club Leon in final group match in Leagues Cup Only the top four teams in points earned from both MLS and Liga MX advance to the knockout rounds, with the goal differential being the first tiebreaker. The Crew entered the Leon matchup in sixth place among MLS teams, making a victory to earn three points a necessity. "This is football," Crew coach Wilfried Nancy said. "We won. This is the most important because we could have tied. Yes, we had the possibility to score goals, but we didn't do it. ... It's not easy when you start the game knowing that you have to win, but you have also to score a lot of goals. This is so difficult to tell that to my players. That's why I'm proud of what they did, and we'll see." Throughout the group stage, the Crew struggled to create shots on target, recording the same or fewer than their opponent despite taking more attempts, except in the 2-2 regulation draw against Toluca FC. The Crew finished with a combined 10 shots on target off 35 attempts across the three games. In the Leon matchup, the Crew had to most targeted shots with four, but put together the fewest goals of their group-stage outings. "Obviously, would have liked to score more," Crew defender Sean Zawadzki said. "Put a little bit of pressure on those other teams. But I think most importantly, we got the three points, and still there's pressure on those teams to come out whenever they play, and to perform and to win themselves." The Crew sit at the top of the MLS standings after one night of final group-stage games, with eight teams playing on Aug. 6 and Aug. 7 having the possibility of passing the Crew. Max Arfsten leads Columbus Crew to victory, three points over Club Leon The Crew's lone goal against Leon came in the 53rd minute when midfielder Max Arfsten retrieved a loose ball in the center of the box. After taking two dribbles to the right, Arfsten launched a shot that went over goalkeeper Oscar Jimenez, who dove to attempt the save. "It was a little bit of relief, to be honest," Arfsten said. "It always sucks when you score and you celebrate, and then they call it back. So, I was happy that finally counted." Arfsten got another shot over the goal line in the opening five minutes of play, and though the Crew thought they've secured an early goal, it was quickly overturned once a review determined forward Daniel Gazdag to be offside. The recorded goal marked Arfsten's second in the tournament and third since returning from representing the United States national team in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on July 12. Tempers between Columbus Crew, Club Leon as officials struggle to gain control of heated moments As time ran on in the second half, the intensity on the field grew as the two teams had multiple heated moments in the final 30 minutes. "In a game like this, there's going to be some tension," Zawadzki said. "We're trying to push, trying to get more goals. They're trying to prevent us from getting our momentum, trying to stall a little bit, maybe. So it's kind of us pushing, and it leads to these interactions and some chippiness." The first scuffle occurred when Crew midfielder Andres Herrera and Jimenez had a collision near Leon's goal, but tempers reached their highest point of the game when the exchange of words turned into bouts of shoving during stoppage time. Officials had trouble controlling the two teams for several moments, with only two yellow cards handed out in the end, one to Crew defender Steven Moreira and another to Leon midfielder Rodrigo Echeverria. "I don't like to talk about referees, but obviously the referee tonight didn't control the game," Nancy said. "It could have been more yellow cards, but he didn't do it. This is the way it is. For sure, I think that the performance of the referee could have been better." Patrick Schulte finds redemption vs Club Leon after two rough outings Regular starting goalkeeper Patrick Schulte was back in the lineup for the Crew after sitting out against Puebla, which was planned ahead of the tournament, according to Nancy. Schulte hit a rough stretch in his previous two outings, allowing five regulation goals and finishing on the losing side of the penalty kick shootout against Toluca. However, the 24-year-old found redemption in the Leon matchup, recording four saves, including on a shot from Ismael Diaz that was inches from crossing the goal line. The clean sheet was Schulte's first since returning from an oblique injury on July 12. "It feels good, definitely," Schulte said. "Good for myself, but as well, for the backline. It's been a struggle. I think that we would definitely like to have more clean sheets and less goals conceded. But, for me, it definitely feels good that we had a game like this." bmackay@ @brimackay15 This article originally appeared on The Columbus Dispatch: Will Columbus Crew advance in Leagues Cup after defeating Club Leon?

FIFA Club World Cup champion Chelsea is back on English soil and gets its Premier League season started at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday. Pedro Neto of Chelsea in action during the pre-season friendly match between Chelsea and AC Milan at Stamford Bridge on August 10, 2025 in London, England.

Photo byHow to Watch Chelsea FC vs Crystal Palace Date: Sunday, August 17, 2025 Time: 9:00 AM EDT Location: Stamford Bridge, London, England Channel: USA Network Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE) A clash between London giants will bring together two teams who have already claimed silverware this summer as Chelsea hosts Crystal Palace on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. The Eagles travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, having defeated Liverpool on penalties to clinch the FA Community Shield last weekend, while Chelsea got its hands on the FIFA Club World Cup last month. Enzo Maresca appears to be going from strength to strength as Blues boss and made his presence felt in front of American crowds over the summer. President Donald Trump was even on hand to award the west London giants their prize in New Jersey, but there's a far greater prize at stake as England's top flight gets back to business. FA Cup holder Palace shows no sign of letting up in its pursuit of bigger and better things after twice coming from behind to get the better of Premier League champion Liverpool last Saturday. Manager Oliver Glasner has largely managed to retain the same squad that surged to title glory back in May, though he has admitted captain Marc Guehi, who came through Chelsea's academy, could be on the move after entering the final year of his contract. The England defender is highly unlikely to be involved here amid rumors of a move to reigning champion Liverpool. Meanwhile, Chelsea will look to unleash a new-look XI featuring the likes of Joao Pedro, Estevao, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, and Jorrel Hato.
