Ghanaian midfielder Ronald Donkor has won the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference title with the New York Red Bulls.
The talented Ghanaian midfielder climbed off the bench in the second half as the New York Red Bulls pipped Orlando City to win the Eastern Conference title.
The 20-year-old replaced Cameron Harper in the 86th minute as Andres Reyes’ early second-half strike handed New York victory.
The Eastern Conference champions will face the Western Conference winners, the Los Angeles Galaxy, in the MLS final on Saturday, December 7, 2024.
Donkor joined the American club in 2023 from Malian club Guidars FC and has since established himself as a regular in the first team.
The JMG Academy graduate made 20 appearances in the 2024 campaign, 17 in the regular season and three in the playoffs.
The central midfielder will face compatriot Joseph Paintsil, who has been a star for LA Galaxy in the final of the competition.
