查塔努加FC 1比0胜LAFC 2首夺MLS NEXT Pro杯 10,228名观众创决赛纪录
查塔努加—MLS NEXT Pro 杯决赛11月8日晚在田纳西州汉密尔顿县查塔努加市的 Finley Stadium 举行，主场作战的查塔努加FC（Chattanooga FC）以1比0击败洛杉矶FC二队（LAFC 2），队史首次捧起这项冠军奖杯；现场10,228名观众创下该项决赛的观众人数纪录。
全场唯一进球出现在第31分钟：Damien Barker John 在禁区外起脚破门。Barker John 整个季后赛贡献2球1助攻，与队友 Alex Krehl 并列全队季后赛参与进球最多，赛后当选决赛最有价值球员。他曾在2023年 MLS 超级选秀中被皇家盐湖城选中。
LAFC 2 在第86分钟曾由 Marius Aiyenero 以倒钩破门，但被判越位在先、进球无效。查塔努加门将 Eldin Jakupović 力保球门不失。
查塔努加FC是第一支赢得 MLS NEXT Pro 杯的独立俱乐部，即非 MLS 俱乐部下属的二队，夺冠时加入该联赛仅第三个赛季，球队主教练是 Richard Dixon。查塔努加也是联赛历史上第三支夺冠的东部冠军球队。他们的季后赛之路先后以3比1淘汰纽约城二队与 CT United FC，并在东部决赛中两球落后下3比2逆转哥伦布机员二队。
LAFC 2 以西部第6号种子的身份打进决赛，是打进该项决赛的最低种子球队，此前他们在季后赛连续三场客场爆冷晋级。前四届 MLS NEXT Pro 杯冠军分别是哥伦布机员二队（2022年）、奥斯汀FC二队（2023年）、北德克萨斯SC（2024年）与纽约红牛二队（2025年）。（来源：MLS NEXT Pro）
Chattanooga FC Beats LAFC 2 1-0 for First MLS NEXT Pro Cup Before Record 10,228 Fans
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Chattanooga FC beat LAFC 2 1-0 on November 8 at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee, to win the MLS NEXT Pro Cup for the first time, before a record Cup crowd of 10,228.
The only goal came in the 31st minute, when Damien Barker John scored from outside the box. Barker John, who finished the playoffs with two goals and one assist, tied with teammate Alex Krehl for the club's most goal contributions in the postseason, was named Cup MVP. He was a 2023 MLS SuperDraft pick by Real Salt Lake.
LAFC 2 thought it had equalized in the 86th minute on a Marius Aiyenero bicycle kick, but the goal was ruled offside. Chattanooga goalkeeper Eldin Jakupović preserved the clean sheet.
Chattanooga FC is the first independent club — not an MLS club's second team — to win the MLS NEXT Pro Cup, doing so in just its third season in the league under head coach Richard Dixon. It is the third Eastern Conference champion to win the title in the league's five seasons. Its playoff run included 3-1 wins over New York City FC II and CT United FC and a 3-2 comeback from two goals down against Columbus Crew 2 in the Eastern Conference final.
LAFC 2 reached the final as the Western Conference's No. 6 seed, the lowest seed ever to reach the Cup final, after three straight road playoff upsets. The previous Cup champions were Columbus Crew 2 (2022), Austin FC II (2023), North Texas SC (2024) and New York Red Bulls II (2025). (Source: MLS NEXT Pro)
