LA Galaxy storm to record 6th MLS Cup title, beating New York Red Bulls and completing resurgence

CARSON, Calif. — The Los Angeles Galaxy sliced through and swept past the New York Red Bulls to their sixth MLS Cup title here on Saturday, and capped a resurgent 2024 season by claiming the trophy they once owned.

The Galaxy raced out to a 2-0 lead in 13 minutes, then held on to win 2-1. Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic scored the goals. Resolute defenders preserved the advantage. Injured star Riqui Puig watched, then rode around the field on the back of his brilliant replacement, Gastón Brugman, as ear-piercing celebrations erupted.

And they did it all at their longtime fortress, Dignity Health Sports Park, where they didn’t lose all season.
