LAFC have clinched their first ever league title after beating Philadelphia Union on penalties in the MLS Cup final, with Gareth Bale helping them on their way after coming off the bench and scoring in extra-time.
After making their MLS debut in 2018, LAFC have been one of the standout teams in the league, and have been knocking on the door for some time after winning two Supporters Shield's. However, the post-season has continued to prove challenging - until now.
LAFC got over the line and clinched MLS Cup success after a tense encounter, and designated player Bale came off the bench and scored in the perfect warm-up to the World Cup that begins in just under two weeks. It'll be the first time that Bale's beloved Wales have made an appearance on the World stage for 64 years, and the LAFC star will be heading into the competition as a winner.
