A beautifully worked goal ended the LA Galaxy's decade-long MLS Cup drought, while potentially sparking a new era of success.

The Galaxy declines options on Brady Scott and Martin Caceres, picks up options on five others and remains in discussion with Maya Yoshida and Eriq Zavaleta.

Exactly 10 years to the day after their last MLS Cup win on the same field, the Galaxy became the first team in 23 years to go from eight or fewer wins to a title.
