The Galaxy will compete in the MLS Cup final without star scorer Riqui Puig, who suffered a torn ACL during the Western Conference final Saturday.

Dejan Joveljic scored his fifth goal of the playoffs in the 86th minute and the LA Galaxy advanced to the MLS Cup final for the first time since 2014 with a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference final on Saturday night.

Call them the Road Warriors. New York has already recorded road wins against Columbus, New York City FC, and Orlando City SC. Playing the final on the Galaxy home field, in the Galaxy home stadium, Red Bulls are the underdog, but as they showed so far, they don’t care.

You may not have known it by the scoreboard, but yes, the Los Angeles Galaxy scored just one goal in the MLS Western Conference Championships. However, one goal was all that they needed.

The LA Galaxy announced on Sunday that midfielder Riqui Puig tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during the Western Conference final against Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday night.

Injuries mean coach Brian Schmetzer will need to make some lineup changes, but the Sounders are in a "confident spot" headed into Saturday's postseason showdown with the LA Galaxy.

Dejan Joveljic scored his fifth goal of the playoffs in the 86th minute and the LA Galaxy advanced to the MLS Cup final for the first time since 2014 with a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference final.

Unfortunately for the Sounders, one goal was all that separated them from a trip back to Seattle to host the MLS Cup. The LA Galaxy made headlines leading up to Saturday’s Western Conference Final with their 15 scores — two shy of an MLS playoff record — during their postseason run.
