Red Bulls, Galaxy to face off for MLS Cup

The New York Red Bulls and the LA Galaxy will face off in the MLS Cup final.

Both teams claimed 1-0 wins on Saturday in their respective Conference Finals.

The Red Bulls toppled Orlando City 1-0 in Florida, with Andres Reyes heading in off the post in the 47th minute.

Reyes had made a near-costly error in the first half, but Carlos Coronel spared his team-mate’s blushes with a fine save to deny Facundo Torres.

Sean Nealis made a vital intervention and Luis Muriel squandered a chance for Orlando as the Red Bulls held firm to reach their first MLS Cup showdown since 2008.

The Galaxy, meanwhile, ended a decade-long wait for an MLS Cup final appearance as they beat the Seattle Sounders 1-0.

Dejan Joveljic was the Galaxy’s hero at Dignity Health Sports Park, as he swept home from Riqui Puig’s pass in the 85th minute.

Next week’s clash against the Red Bulls will mark the Galaxy’s seventh MLS Cup final appearance, and their first since they won the last of their five titles back in 2014.

The Galaxy, as the higher seed, will host the final, which takes place on December 7.
