The Crew emerged victorious with a 4-3 win in penalties, securing their spot in the semifinals.

Now, the Crew are set to face the Philadelphia Union in the Leagues Cup semifinals at Lower.com Field on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. This time, the Crew are aiming to avoid the need for a comeback by striking first against Philadelphia.

Crew coach Wilfried Nancy emphasized the importance of starting strong, reflecting on the previous game’s early goal. "Usually, I like to say to my players no matter what type of game, it's 0-0," Nancy said. "But we started the game 1-0 the last game. To be honest, I used that moment to reinforce what we want to do on the kickoff."
