Two goals in five minutes! Top MLS playoff drama in Los Angeles

On November 25, 2024By Littum

We have top drama in the MLS Cup playoffs in Los Angeles as the Galaxy and Minnesota United traded goals in the first five minutes of the Western Conference semifinal on Sunday afternoon.

The Galaxy enter proceedings as favorites to lift the trophy after a number of giants crashed out of the competition in the last few weeks and they got off to a flying start against the Loons.

The ball from Riqui Puig was a peach and Gabriel Pec finished with aplomb, but their quick start was undone just a few minutes later.

After stunning inside 60 seconds, the visitors responded in kind, pulling level thanks to a Kelvin Yeboah screamer from an acute angle.

Two goals in five minutes and we’re set for an MLS Cup classic.

To add to the drama, the Galaxy went ahead again before the 20 minute mark thanks to a header from Dejan Joveljić.

Buckle up, folks.
