Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs Bracket



Columbus Crew
 * Round One: 2-1 series win vs. Atlanta United
 * Conference Semifinal: 2-0 win (extra time) at Orlando City SC
 * Conference Final: 3-2 win (extra time) at FC Cincinnati

Columbus advanced via a Hell is Real matchup for the ages, winning 3-2 in extra
time Saturday evening at TQL Stadium over arch-rival Cincy. Second-half
substitutes Julian Gressel and Christian Ramirez sparked the comeback, canceling
out a 2-0 hole when the latter scored a 115th-minute game-winner.

The Crew, who hired head coach Wilfried Nancy away from CF Montréal nearly a
year ago, continue to be led by striker Cucho Hernández. The Colombian
international has 4g/2a in the playoffs, and now Columbus are one game away from
a third-ever MLS Cup title after winning in both 2008 and 2020.

Los Angeles Football Club
 * Round One: 2-0 series win vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC
 * Conference Semifinal: 1-0 win at Seattle Sounders FC
 * Conference Final: 2-0 win vs. Houston Dynamo FC

LAFC have gone back-to-back as West champions, earning a comfortable 2-0 win
over Houston to punch their MLS Cup ticket. While forward Dénis Bouanga was held
scoreless for the first time in seven games, he and fellow DP Carlos Vela posed
constant threats to the Dynamo's backline.

The Black & Gold, who play their 53rd game across all competitions next weekend,
are one match away from becoming the first repeat winners since the 2011-12 LA
Galaxy. If that's achieved, they will also book a 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup
spot.
