Capitalized on the Crew corner 😤 Rich Dani made 'em pay 🤑 https://t.co/YhKUdiUY1o

What happened: A Crew corner created the opening for the go-ahead finish. The strike arrived after halftime in Columbus' second Leagues Cup match.

Why it matters: A win would strengthen Columbus' position before its third phase-one match on Aug. 11. The tournament's top three finishers earn Concacaf Champions Cup places.

By the numbers: Columbus entered the match 9-0-3 all-time in Leagues Cup after opening this year's tournament with a 3-1 win.

What to watch: Columbus must protect the advantage through the final whistle. Its next tournament match is scheduled for Aug. 11.
