The wait for a classic goes on
This year was the third time Seattle Sounders and Toronto had met in the MLS Cup Final – and the wait for a classic encounter goes on.
In 2016 Seattle won the shootout after a goalless draw while Toronto had their revenge a year later with a 2-0 victory, but both games were flat and forgettable.
The 2019 finale drew an impressive crowd of 69,724 to CenturyLink Field in Seattle, but Sounders’ 3-1 success was something of a surprise, with Toronto dominating the first half and the hosts looking decidedly nervous.
