Los Angeles FC were crowned champions of Major League Soccer on Saturday. The club founded in 2014 thus won its first trophy in history.
On the field, against Philadelphia Union, Los Angeles FC almost lost the title. Acosta opened the scoring in the 27th minute, with Gazdag, already in the second half, equalizing for Union. Until 90, Murillo scored for Los Angeles, while Elliot equalized and forced extra time.
With Bale on the field, Los Angeles were reduced to 10 players after goalkeeper Crepeau was sent off. Hopes almost died when Elliot, already in extra time, made it 3-2. What mattered was Bale's will, who made the tie at 120+8 and took the game to penalties.
Tello missed the first and complicated Los Angeles, who breathed a sigh of relief when Gazdag, Martinez and Wagner missed their respective penalties.
