The Crew were dominant in their performance, with a first half performance for the ages. LAFC came alive with 20 minutes to spare, finding a goal of their own, but it was too little too late. Striker Cucho Hernandez was named 2023 MLS Cup MVP on the field postgame, while forward Christian Ramirez brought out his 12-day old child Cash to celebrate with he and his family.
It was a remarkable performance, especially considering it was their second in four years - just six years after the Save The Crew movement.
