6:16 pm on 19 November 2012

The finalists for America's Major League Soccer competition decider have been sorted out with Houston Dynamo to face the LA Galaxy in the MLS Cup final for the second straight year.

The Galaxy, featuring David Beckham in midfield, lost 2-1 in Seattle to the Sounders, but a 3-0 first leg win last week that was enough to secure them the Western Championship and a chance to defend their title.

Dynamo sealed their place in the Cup after beating DC United 4-2 on aggregate to clinch the Eastern Championship.

Houston won last week's first leg at home 3-1 then drew Monday's return match 1-1.
