LA Galaxy reached the MLS Cup final after going through on the away goals rule following a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders on Sunday.

The Sounders, trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Los Angeles, opened the scoring when Brad Evans slid the ball home in the 27th minute.
Five minutes later Clint Dempsey put Seattle 2-0 up with a shot that took a slight deflection and sneaked past Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo.

Galaxy will be looking for a record fifth MLS title when they face the Revolution in Los Angeles on Dec. 7.
