Back and forth, as has become custom in these games. Especially for players wearing a “9” on their back. And the Supporters’ Shield LAFC won, a prize that goes to the team with the best regular-season record, has become an albatross in the postseason, with only one team in the last decade winning both the Shield and the MLS Cup.

Bond’s quick reflexes denied LAFC’s newest Designated Player, but Arango, who led LAFC with 17 regular-season goals, roofed the ball to blow the roof off a stadium that wasn’t built with one. It was Grandsir's third goal in six matches against LAFC and second this season.

In the 12th minute the visitors’ young and heralded midfielder Riqui Puig, who transformed the Galaxy midfield upon his arrival in the summer and altered the trajectory of their season, tangled with Murillo and appeared to headbutt LAFC’s most physical defender. Referee Allen Chapman kept the red card in his pocket, and Puig got off with a yellow card warning, one of five that were issued during the match.

Puig and the Galaxy midfield that included Gaston Brugman and Mark Delgado constantly pushed and pulled against LAFC’s trio in the middle – Ilie Sanchez, Jose Cifuentes and Kellyn Acosta – who responded in kind. national team stalwart Kellyn Acosta, Ecuadoran international José Cifuentes and veteran Ilie Sánchez. As much as Puig sought space to make runs and hit line-breaking passes, LAFC kept the 23-year-old Spaniard in check.

LAFC’s good work was undercut when it gave away the lead prior to halftime – and this time Segura was on the opposite end of things. The Galaxy lofted a hopeful ball toward Crepeau and Murillo headed it straight into the air.

Waiting at the far post, Bouanga connected for his brace. The Galaxy, as they always have, refused to relent and one minute after stepping onto the pitch Joveljic bent a beautiful shot from outside the box that zoomed by Crepeau into the upper reaches of the net. Galaxy supporters filling two sections of the stadium endured chants of “we can’t hear you” from LAFC’s 3252 supporters.

But the regular-season El Tráfico is mainly about bragging rights between the teams, who are separated by 12 miles of freeway. They were heard after Joveljic’s javelin but were no match for the LAFC supporters’ response when Arango gave them the lead in the 93rd minute.
