"There's a magic to the U.S. Open Cup, the oldest national soccer competition in the country and the most egalitarian since it's the only one open to every men's team at every level."
"The victory, before a sold-out BMO Stadium crowd, was LAFC's first in five tournament finals dating to the 2022 MLS Cup."
"The deciding goal came from a second-half substitute who had taken just two shots on goal this season. The third one gave his team a trophy."
"Yet for 101 minutes, the big fish and the minnows were even. LAFC went ahead in the 53rd minute on Olivier Giroud's first goal since coming to MLS."
