Crépeau the key for LAFC vs. Columbus Crew at 2023 MLS Cup

Maxime Crépeau knew it was bad right away.

In extra time of MLS Cup a year ago, an errant back pass put Philadelphia's Cory Burke in one-on-one with Crépeau, leaving the LAFC goalkeeper no time to think. His reaction to leave the penalty area was the right one -- Burke likely scores easily had he not -- but his attempt to clear the ball was a split second too slow, and he took out Burke instead.

In almost the same motion as he rolled on the grass, Crépeau started waving to the LAFC bench.
