In the MLS playoff finals that ended in the early morning of December 8, Beijing time, the LA Galaxy defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-1 and won the MLS finals again after 10 years.
In the MLS this season, the LA Galaxy qualified for the playoffs as the second in the West in the regular season. In the playoffs, the LA Galaxy eliminated the Colorado Rapids, Minnesota United and Seattle Sounders to reach the playoff finals and compete with the New York Red Bulls.
In the final, the LA Galaxy got off to a dream start. The opening is only 9 minutes. The LA Galaxy took the lead with Bruegmann plugging through and Panterhill taking the lead from an offside position without stopping.
Just four minutes later, Dejan Jovelic drove into the box with the ball and scored to extend the LA Galaxy's advantage to 2-0.
Although Sean Neelis scored in the 28th minute to pull one back for the New York Red Bulls.
However, neither side was able to score again, and in the end, the LA Galaxy managed to hold the score 2-1 until the end, and won the MLS playoff title for the first time since 2014.
It is worth noting that this is the first time in his career that German star Reuss, who plays for the LA Galaxy, has won the league title with the team. Reus has previously helped Dort win two German Cups and three German Super Cups, but he has never tasted a league title before.
In the 2022-23 Bundesliga season, Dort unfortunately lost the championship while leading before the final round. This summer, Royce left Dort to land in the MLS, and won the playoff championship with the team in his first season, finally fulfilling his dream of winning the league championship.
