If you thought the 2022 MLS Cup final may not live up to the hype of featuring the league’s top two teams all season, think again.
Los Angeles Football Club defeated Philadelphia Union in penalty kicks 3–0 following a 3–3 draw on Saturday, but not before a series of dramatic events inside Banc of California Stadium.
After the match ended in regulation tied 2-2, LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau was given a red card for cutting off Union forward’s Cory Burke’s path to the goal in the 110th minute. The Canadian goalkeeper suffered a severe leg injury in his challenge to keep the Union from scoring as well.
