The final chapter of the Real Monarchs SLC season came to a fairytale ending on Sunday when a mixed group of veterans and young stars from all corners of the American soccer landscape and the world lifted the United Soccer League Championship trophy after defeating two-time defending champions, Louisville City FC in one of the most exciting finals the Championship has witnessed.
For defender Konrad Plewa the narrative goes even further. Following the match, the Poland native was selected as the USL Championship Final’s Most Valuable Player for his defensive performance on the night and for scoring the game-winner in the 45th minute to earn the Monarchs its first-ever Championship trophy.
