were 10 years of waiting and disappointment. Players came and went, but championships never came. In 2024, the Los Angeles Galaxy had a great season, which was crowned with a 2-1 victory in the final against the New York Red Bulls, making the California team the winningest team in history by lifting their sixth title.

The Galaxy scored two goals within the first quarter of an hour of the game, with Josef Paincil (9′) and Dejan Joveljic (13′) beating Red Bulls goalkeeper Carlos Coronel from close range. Both stars paid tribute to Ricky Puig after the Los Angeles Best XI midfielder tore his ACL in the Western Conference final and missed the MLS Cup final.
Despite the early setback, New York got a lifeline in the 28th minute when center back Sean Neelis pounced on a badly cleared corner kick.
But a tie was not forthcoming for Emil Forsberg’s Red Bulls, who came away empty-handed in their second MLS Cup appearance and became one of only three league founders not to win a league title.
Not only were Los Angeles champions at the final whistle, they scored a record 18 goals in the MLS A Cup playoffs.
