With all the action taking place in a 2 hour span, this years Final was as close to real time as you can get. The first scores came quick as Giles Barnes and Arturo Alvarez scored within 2 minutes of each other to give Gateway United a nice 2:0 lead. About 10 minutes later BWP connected for both sides with Aurelin Collin's assist pulling the Red Bulls closer. That was as close as New York would get, as Barnes added another just before half time.

In the 2nd half, Pedro Morales took over for the Saints with 2 more scores to widen the gap. The Red Bulls would counter with a goal from Alex Muyl and a brace from Robles, but the Saints offense was just too strong ending with an 89th minute Julio Baptista goal. Gateway United wins the club first Majors Cup Championship!

2016 Majors Cup Champions
For the 2nd time in league history a club has completed the treble, winning all three of the years league championships. Congratulations to Gateway United as the club has now picked up its 4th BSL sanctioned cup. It's been a heck of a year for the Saints who broke the record for best PPG, took the Founders Cup, and everything else there is to win. Gateway United also has just broken the record for longest unbeaten streak in 1 season at 12 games and has the chance to break the record for best unbeaten streak in continuous seasons in 2017. Is this the greatest BSL club ever or is the 2011 CD Gunners squad the greatest? Let the debate begin.
