LA Galaxy Advance to MLS Cup Final

The LA Galaxy secured a spot in the MLS Cup final for the first time since 2014 by defeating the Seattle Sounders 1-0 in the Western Conference final, thanks to Dejan Joveljic's late goal. This victory sets up a clash with the New York Red Bulls, who advanced as the first No. 7 seed to reach the final after beating Orlando City. The Galaxy, who have outscored opponents 15-3 in the playoffs, aim to claim their sixth MLS Cup title, while the Red Bulls seek their first championship win. Both teams have not faced each other in the regular season, promising an intriguing matchup. Meanwhile, the Sounders, known for their strong defense, were unable to counter the Galaxy's attacking prowess despite their previous success against LAFC. The final will be a test of the Galaxy's offensive strength against the Red Bulls' historic bid.
