The Galaxy secured a spot in the MLS Cup final after a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders. Dejan Joveljić’s goal in the 85th minute was the game-winner in front of a sellout crowd at Dignity Health Sports Park. The Galaxy’s strong playoff run, which included 15 goals in the first three playoff games, has propelled them into their first MLS Cup final since 2014. Coach Greg Vanney praised his team for staying focused and finding their moment in a tightly contested match.
The Galaxy will face the New York Red Bulls in the MLS Cup final, after the Red Bulls defeated Orlando City SC 1-0 in the Eastern Conference final. The Galaxy’s path to the final was challenging, as they faced a tough Sounders defense that limited their scoring opportunities. Joveljić’s goal was his 20th of the season, showcasing his prowess as a goal-scorer for the team.
The game was a hard-fought battle, with both teams having chances to score in the first half. The Sounders, who had a tough road to the final, put up a strong fight but ultimately fell short against the Galaxy. The Galaxy’s ascent from 13th in the Western Conference last season to Western Conference champions this season is a testament to their hard work and determination.
The Galaxy and Sounders had previously faced off three times during the regular season, with mixed results. The Galaxy will look to carry their momentum into the final as they aim to secure another MLS Cup title for the club.
