Messi Returned… But Brais Stole the Show | Crew 2-2 Miami | Leagues Cup Talk

Matt, Gabe, and Sam break down the Columbus Crew’s 2-2 draw with Inter Miami in a match that had goals, chaos, big moments, and some real signs of progress.

We talk through the key parts of the game, including Casemiro’s own goal, Brais Mendez scoring on his Crew debut, and shutting down a returning Lionel Messi. Even though Columbus did not get all three points, there were encouraging moments in how the team played, created chances, and continued building under the current system.

From there, we shift into Leagues Cup mode and preview the Crew’s upcoming matches against Atlas, Pachuca, and Pumas. We discuss what those games could look like, how Columbus should approach the tournament, and which players could use Leagues Cup as a chance to step forward.
