Arguably no Sounders player benefitted more from the team’s MLS Cup triumph over Toronto FC last December than goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
Its was Frei’s iconic save off Jozy Altidore in extra time that helped the Sounders to a 1-0 triumph over the Reds right in their Toronto backyard. Frei can’t go very far these days without hearing about the leaping, off-balance save made to his left, forever immortalized on t-shirts, tattoos and anyplace else fans can stick the photographed image.
But Frei says it’s time to move on. That his team, still feeling its way this young season, can’t afford to get caught up in rematch hype on Saturday when Toronto visits CenturyLink Field looking for some payback in front of the Seattle faithful.
