Major League Soccer Playoffs, Conference Finals, Los Angeles Galaxy vs. FC Dallas: Hoops Heading To First Ever MLS Cup Final

One of MLS’s orginal teams will win its first championship next Sunday in Toronto.

The Galaxy controlled the pace of the match throughout, registering 18 shots, but never breaking through.

Don Garber probably just threw up in his mouth a little.

Meanwhile, FC Dallas has made the most of their opportunities. When John scored, the Hoops had just two shots on goals — both of them resulting in goals.

Hartman has been holding it down in goal, making at least three impressive saves during a first half that the Galaxy have basically controlled.

Ferreira, meanwhile, has made sure those efforts have not gone unrewarded. The MVP finalist has scored the game’s only goal, beating supposed Goalkeeper of the Year Donovan Ricketts on one of FC Dallas’ few scoring opportunities.

FC Dallas has apparently chose to go without a forward and started Atiba Harris up top.

The Galaxy, meanwhile, have gone with the same lineup they used against the Sounders in the first round.

The result has been several good scoring opportunities, but still nothing to show for it.

Khari Stephenson came on for Geovanni in the 72nd minute.

It originally looked as if Omar Cummings had gotten a touch on the ball, but the official ruling currently gives the goal to Kimura.

Kimura had probably been the game’s best player for the half. He has had several dangerous crosses and was instrumental in breaking up on of the Earthquakes best chances.

The temperature in Commerce City, Colo. is currently 31 degrees according to weather.com. By gametime, it’s supposed to be 28 degrees and about a 10 percent chance of snow.

Suffice it to say, there aren’t a lot of soccer players in the world who have played in temperatures that cold, let alone snow.
