Following their 1-0 victory of the Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference Final, the LA Galaxy locker room was full of tears and silence. For a record-setting sixth time in their 29-year history, the LA Galaxy are champions of Major League Soccer. Red Bulls defender Sean Nealis cut the deficit in half with a beautiful volley inside the box in the 28th minute. The Red Bulls had rallied from a one-goal deficit in the playoffs before. However, in all their other MLS Cup Playoff matches, the Red Bulls scored first and relied on their durable defense to hold steady.
