Columbus Crew vs Philadelphia Union: How to watch Leagues Cup semifinals
In a Leagues Cup quarterfinal match between the Crew and New York City FC, half of the goals in regulation were scored in the 14 seconds after kickoff.
The Crew were able to advance in the tournament by defeating NYCFC in penalty kicks 4-3. The game was sent to penalties when regulation ended in a 1-1 deadlock, with New York City's goal coming from Alonso Martinez at the 14-second mark, the fastest goal ever scored against Columbus.
With a chance to reach their second tournament final this season, the Crew are facing the Philadelphia Union in the Leagues Cup semifinals at Lower.com Field at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. And unlike the Crew's tournament games against Inter Miami and New York City, Columbus' challenge is to avoid being forced to build a comeback and striking first in the meeting with Philadelphia.
"Usually, I like to say to my players no matter what type of game, it's 0-0," Crew coach Wilfried Nancy said. "But we started the game 1-0 the last game. But to be honest with you, I took this opportunity, when we conceded the last goal, to reinforce what we want to do on the kickoff."
