Former Black Meteors captain Yaw Yeboah annexed another trophy to his list of accolades at Columbus Crew after the Ohio-based club won the 2024 Leagues Cup.
The Ghanaian midfielder watched from the bench as Crew staged a strong second-half performance to beat LAFC in a repeat of last year’s MLS Championship final.
A brace from MVP Cucho Hernandez and a strike from Jacen Russell-Rowe were enough for the Gold and Blacks despite a consolation from former Arsenal and AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud for Los Angeles FC.
Yeboah becomes the first Ghanaian player to win the Leagues Cup, adding it to the MLS title he won last season with the club.
Meanwhile, Crew, who sit third on the table in the Eastern Conference, have three games in hand and could go on to secure top seed at the end of the regular season.
Yeboah joined Crew in 2021 after leaving Polish outfit Wisla Krakow and has since been a key cog in the Crew set up.
