The LA Galaxy won the 2024 MLS Cup Final against the New York Red Bulls, marking their record-setting sixth championship in 29 years. The victory came after star player Riqui Puig suffered a torn ACL and was unable to play. Gaston Brugman and Dejan Jovelic scored early goals to give the Galaxy a 2-0 lead, which was cut to 2-1 by the Red Bulls before ultimately holding on for the win. Despite doubts about their offensive style without Puig, the Galaxy stuck to their aggressive attacking formation and dominated possession throughout the match. The victory was a redemption for the Galaxy after previous playoff disappointments and solidified their status as champions. The win was part of a recent string of success for the city of Los Angeles in major sports, including the Dodgers defeating the Yankees in the World Series. The post-game celebrations were filled with tears of joy as the Galaxy celebrated their hard-fought championship win.
