MLS History
1996 MLS Cup: Coming into New England's Foxboro Stadium, the Galaxy were favorites against DC United. It would not be easy, however as the Boston area had dealt with massive driving rainstorms all week and game day wouldn't be any different. Once the game started, the weather was forgotten about and Cienfuegos scored the first MLS Cup goal in the 5th minute. Chris Armas would score another goal in the 56th minute and the Galaxy appeared certain to have the first championship in their grasp. But the resilient DC United came back as Tony Sannah scored in the 73rd minute. Shawn Medved evened the score with a goal in the 82nd minute and the game headed for overtime. Marco Etcheverry would take a corner kick toward the Galaxy penalty area and Eddie Pope headed the ball in the net to give United the championship and send the Galaxy back home with nothing to show for their strong performance.
