What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
Wait long enough and the immovable object will eventually bend.
At least that’s what happened Saturday when Dejan Joveljic’s goal in the 86th minute gave the Galaxy a 1-0 victory in the MLS Western Conference final before a sellout crowd of 26,327 at Dignity Health Sports Park. With the victory, the Galaxy will host the New York Red Bulls, a 1-0 winner over Orlando City in the Eastern Conference final, in next Saturday’s MLS Cup final.
None of that was certain coming into a game that offered one of the league’s most intriguing playoff match-ups in years.
