LA Galaxy secured their sixth MLS title by defeating Eastern Conference champions New York Red Bulls 2-1.
Details. Goals from Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic ensured victory for LA Galaxy. Sean Nealis scored for New York Red Bulls, but his effort wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
Since joining from Borussia Dortmund, this marks Marco Reus’ second trophy with the team, having previously won the Western Conference title. Due to a recent injury, Reus started on the bench and came on in the 75th minute, helping his team preserve their lead.
Context. This victory is significant for LA Galaxy, as it ends a long drought; the California-based club last won the MLS playoffs in 2014.
