We have peak MLS Cup Playoffs drama in Los Angeles because the Galaxy and Minnesota United have traded objectives within the opening 5 minutes of the Western Convention semifinal showdown Sunday afternoon.
The Galaxy come into the affair because the favorites to seize the cup after a swathe of giants crashed out of the competitors in the previous couple of weeks, and so they obtained off to a flying begin in opposition to the Loons.
The ball from Riqui Puig was a peach, and Gabriel Pec completed with aplomb, however their fast begin was cancelled out just some minutes later.
After being beautiful inside 60 seconds, the guests responded in form, pulling stage because of a Kelvin Yeboah screamer from an acute angle.
Two objectives in 5 minutes, and we have got ourselves the making of an MLS Cup basic on our palms.
So as to add to the drama, the Galaxy pulled forward as soon as once more earlier than the 20-minute mark because of a Dejan Joveljić header.
Buckle up, people.
