SEATTLE — Given the ups and downs of this season, it seems almost strange to see how the Seattle Sounders finished up. With their 3-0 win over the Colorado Rapids, the Sounders finished Top 2 in the West for just the third time in their nine MLS seasons and this is the highest they’ve finished since winning the Supporters’ Shield in 2014. Their +13 goal-difference is also their fourth-best mark of the MLS era.
The Sounders were particularly impressive at home, where they accumulated a franchise-record 38 points. The did this with a +20 home goal-difference that was helped immensely by 32 goals, both of which are also the top marks of their MLS existence (h/t FrankMSounders).
