Saturday's win was big for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Not only was it the team's first time winning back-to-back games, but their head coach extracted a measure of revenge on their opponent, D.C. United.

Greg Vanney was a member of the 1996 MLS Finals squad, as well as the 1999 one. Both years, the LA Galaxy fell short in capturing their first-ever league championship.
