Neil Pierre converted the sixth Union attempt, and an LA Galaxy miss cued the celebration.
Diego Rocio's goal in the 32nd minute opened the scoring, handing the Union a first half lead.
Goals were clawed back, and the Galaxy took the lead, scoring two goals within four minutes in the second half. Dylan Vanney's low shot went through Gavin Atkinson's hands and into the back of thet net. Adam Dunar bagged the second, slotting home from a rebound off a Mathis Albert shot.
Cavan Sullivan scored a tap-in of his own, tying the game after a Jamir Johnson run and cross.
Neither side could score again, sending the game to penalties, as the Union won the competition for the second year in a row.
