2016 Majors Cup Final

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!
