LA Galaxy will hope to make it to its first MLS Cup final when it hosts Seattle Saunders in the Western Conference final of the MLS Cup playoffs.
It's LA's first Conference final appearance in a decade, with the last coming in the 2014 season when it went on to win its lastCup title in team history. It's the first time these two historic MLS franchises meet with a trip to the Cup final on the line, a matchups between teams with a combined seven MLS cup trophies.
LA Galaxy have been demolishing opponents throughout the playoffs, scoring 15 goals whilst only allowing three in its three playoff victories of the season. There were concerns about the defensive fragility of the team prior to the start of the playoffs, but those haven't materialized so far and it's and have been completely outweighed by the team's attacking firepower.
Seattle will prove a worthy adversary though. The team from the Northwest beat Galaxy 3–1 in their last meeting in the Leagues Cup. It's a stout defensive team with that's not allowed more than two goals in a game since September. Greg Vanney's side arrive to the Conference final with a healthy squad aside from Uruguayan defender, Martín Cáceres, who's been sidelined since August with an achilles injury.—McCarthy will be looking for only his second clean sheet since August.—The Japanese right back will hope to the MLS Cup final in his first season playing outside his home country.—The young Colombian center back's pace is instrumental to Galaxy's success.
