Live The Pitch

This past weekend the L.A. Galaxy and Real Salt Lake punched their ticket into the 2009 MLS Cup Final with exciting matches that were both decided in extra time. L.A. defeated the Houston Dynamo in extra time to win the Western Conference, while the Real Salt lake and Chicago Fire  game was decided with penalty kicks.

Quest Field in Seattle, Wa. will host the championship match this Sunday, November 22 at 8:30 p.m. Seattle is a great environment for this match. With the expansion Seattle Sounders setting the attendance record for the MLS,  it should definitely be a sellout on Sunday.

The Eastern Conference Final went scoreless for 120 minutes before Real Salt Lake defeated Chicago 5-4 in a penalty shootout.

In the West, L.A. got the only two goals of the match in overtime to defeat Houston. Landon Donovan and Gregg Berhalter both found the back of the net to send L.A. to the final.

There is a lot of excitement for this match with some of the biggest stars in the league on the pitch. Donovan and David Beckham lead the way for L.A. and Kyle Beckerman and Clint Mathis set the tone for Real Salt Lake.

Good Luck to both squads!
