MLS Cup: To say that the odds were against the Galaxy heading into the championship game would be understated. They had been there three times before, losing each one. Two of which were in overtime. The match would be played in Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, where they had failed twice before. The game was played on October 20th, which was exactly six years to the date that LA lost to DC in the inaugural MLS Cup in Foxboro. And just to make it a little trickier for the Galaxy, they were facing the hometown New England Revolution with 61,316 fans cheering for them. For much of the match, the two teams would not get anything going as the championship match headed to overtime for the second straight year. That only put more pressure on the Galaxy as they had been involved in the only three MLS Cup matches that went into overtime. After coming very close to losing again with a Winston Griffiths shot that hit the crossbar which would have won it for New England, the Galaxy counterattacked and match MVP Carlos Ruiz softly struck a shot that got by Revs goalkeeper Adin Brown and after three tries, the Galaxy finally had a championship.
