Gabriel Pec, Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic each scored two goals Sunday to help the LA Galaxy beat Minnesota United 6-2 to advance to the Western Conference finals. The Galaxy, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, will play host to the fourth-seeded Seattle Sounders for the conference title on Saturday. LA set an MLS record with 15 goals in a span of three playoff games. The Galaxy swept its best-of-three first-round series against Colorado , beating the Rapids 5-0 and 4-1.
The 24-year-old forward recorded just the third multi-goal playoff game in franchise history. Kevin Molino scored two goals each in back-to-back playoff games for Minnesota in 2020. Riqui Puig played a through ball to Pec, who slipped behind the defense, won the ball from defender Jefferson Diaz and beat goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair with a rolling shot inside the back post to give LA a 1-0 lead just 30 seconds into the game.
