LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls Meet in MLS Cup

The 2024 MLS Cup will feature the LA Galaxy hosting the New York Red Bulls on December 7, following their respective conference championship victories. The Galaxy secured their place in the final with an 85th-minute goal from Dejan Joveljić, defeating the Seattle Sounders 1-0, while the Red Bulls edged out Orlando City with a similar scoreline, thanks to a 47th-minute header from Andres Reyes. This marks the Red Bulls' second-ever appearance in the MLS Cup, and they are the lowest seed to reach the final, having entered the playoffs as the No. 7 seed. The Galaxy, aiming for a record sixth MLS Cup title, have previously won five and will host the final at Dignity Health Sports Park, a venue familiar with the championship's history. The match will kick off at an undecided time, typically around 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. ET, and both teams have shown resilience throughout their playoff runs. With LA Galaxy's strong postseason performance and New York's underdog story, the final promises to be an exciting encounter.
