There will be at least one more home game for the Seattle Sounders in their quest to repeat as MLS Cup champions, but they’ll have to go through a familiar face to get there.
The Sounders needed Minnesota United to upset Sporting Kansas City on the road Thursday evening, and the Loons did that and then some. Scoring three times in a 12-minute span, Minnesota put together a comprehensive performance at Children’s Mercy Park, defeating the hosts 3-0. The victory means that the Sounders will face off against team legend Osvaldo Alonso, as the United looks to book their first-ever trip to MLS Cup.
