Review of the match “Los Angeles Galaxy” – “New York Red Bulls”
For the Los Angeles Galaxy, this is already the sixth MLS championship title, which is an absolute record for the league. “New York Red Bulls” lost in the final for the second time in history.
Recall that “Inter Miami” of Ukrainian Sergey Krivtsov and Argentine Lionel Messi became the winner of the regular MLS championship with a historical record for the number of points scored, but flew out of the fight for the trophy already at the start of the playoffs.
