LA Galaxy clinched their sixth MLS Cup title with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over New York Red Bulls, ending their 10-year championship wait. Early goals from Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic set the tone before Red Bulls responded with Sean Nealis pulling one back.

The Galaxy's offensive momentum initially appeared unstoppable as they scored twice within the first 13 minutes. However, despite missing key player Riqui Puig, the Red Bulls mounted a comeback with Nealis capitalizing on a corner scenario.

Despite multiple second-half opportunities from both sides, Galaxy maintained their lead, much to the delight of head coach Greg Vanney, marking a legendary moment for the club amid their commitment to winning.
