With the rivals tied atop the Western Conference, the Black & Gold haven’t lost in 11 consecutive games going into Thursday’s ‘El Trafico’ in Pasadena.

The Red Bulls, like the Galaxy an original MLS franchise, were playing in their second Cup final and first since losing to Columbus on the same field in Carson 16 years ago.

MLS Cup is here, with the LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls meeting up as this season's championship game. It pairs a major favorite with an underdog no one expected to get this far.

The Galaxy split open the spine of the Red Bull to go up 2-0 after 13 minutes. This time it was Delgado, whose one-time pass released Joveljic.
