Steve Cherundolo’s pupils topped last season’s Western Conference with 67 points, 11 more than second-placed Austin FC, after recording 21 wins in 34 games.
Their remarkable regular season saw them directly qualify for the Conference semifinals, where they defeated LA Galaxy.
In the Conference final clash, LAFC comfortably came out on top vs. Austin (3-0) to book a spot in the final against Philadelphia Union.
After a 2-2 draw, both teams went to extra time, where Jack Elliot and Gareth Bale made things even more exciting by scoring two more goals before the penalty shootout, where Cherundolo’s side ended up grabbing the title.
