20' | #Crew96 counter and Adams is brought down. Columbus earn a free kick from about 26yds out. Habroune hits it right into an Atlas defender and it's cleared away.
#Crew96 starting to settle into the match. Have been looking good on the ball and off the ball these last eight minutes of action
10' | Shot from distance by Atlas is off target. Possession favoring #Crew96 by a near margin of 3%. Can't seem to generate any threatening attack.
1' | Leagues Cup action has begun! #Crew96 #LeaguesCup #CLBvATS
Probably the best anthem I've ever heard. Absolute legend. 👏 #Crew96
The small handful of Atlas fans making their presence known in the SW corner of The Scott. Something I do like about this tournament is the traveling support. #LeaguesCup

Massive Scouting Report: Inter Miami
After a thrilling come-from-behind victory in the Hell is Real Derby, the Columbus Crew travel down south to Miami, where they will take on Inter Miami at the new Nu Stadium. The Crew looks to build off a massive victory last Saturday against a Miami team that has won both matches since the resumption of MLS play, without Lionel Messi. That said, Miami certainly have their weaknesses and strengths and will likely be without Messi and others again on Saturday.

Crew tactical review: Columbus splits the week against NYCFC and FC Cincinnati
The Columbus Crew had a week of highs and lows, losing 2-1 at home to a heavily rotated NYCFC squad before returning on the weekend to defeat FC Cincinnati 2-1. The woes and rustiness of Wednesday put a damper on fans’ moods heading into the Hell Is Real matchup against the Black & Gold’s in-state rivals, but Columbus was able to show fight and determination to come out with all three points.

Coming off an eighth defeat of the season, #Crew96 hasn't played well enough. But that doesn't change the approach to a #HellIsReal Derby. "At the end of the day, you have to find a way to get up for that game no matter what. And I think that's the mentality. "
