Stefan Frei’s save on Jozy Altidore in extra time in the MLS Cup Final will rightfully go down as one of the best plays in Seattle Sounders franchise history. Frei’s effort kept the championship match scoreless and sent it to penalty kicks where he added another save to help the Sounders hoist their first MLS Cup.
Frei’s breathtaking stop didn’t just wow fans and players — Chad Marshall called it “the best save I’ve ever seen in person” — but it also impressed former United States international great and Sounders goalkeeper Kasey Keller.
