🏆 Galaxy & Red Bulls win conference titles to set up MLS Cup clash | OneFootball

The two MLS conferences have new champions this evening as the LA Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls booked their passage to an MLS Cup showdown next weekend.

Here is what went down in the conference finals.

LA Galaxy 1-0 Seattle Sounders

Scorers: Joveljić 85'

A late Dejan Joveljić winner saw the Galaxy break through and move onto MLS Cup Final.

While the Galaxy have had it much their own way throughout most of the MLS Cup Playoffs so far, the visitors from the Pacific Northwest were as stubborn as advertised throughout the first half.

In-fact, the Sounders had the better of the play in the second interval, but they were sucker-punched by the prolific Galaxy attack in the dying minutes when Riqui Puig slipped in Dejan Joveljić for the winning goal to send the home faithful into a frenzy.

The Galaxy will now take on Eastern Conference champs New York Red Bulls for a chance to win their sixth MLS Cup title — and they'll do so at home in Los Angeles.

Orlando City 0-1 New York Red Bulls

Scorers: Reyes 47'

The New York Red Bulls stormed into Orlando and snatched a narrow upset victory to book their passage to MLS Cup Final for the first time since 2008.

The visitors were in the drivers seat in the first-half, despite a raucous crowd cheering on Óscar Pareja's men.

But it took until after the break for the deadlock to be broken when a superb free-kick delivery from John Tolkin made its way into the back of the net via the head of Andrés Reyes.

While Orlando poured men forward in the dying minutes to salvage their season, the visitors held on thanks to a heroic effort from their rearguard to book their passage to the final in dramatic fashion.
