DENVER —Jordan Morris logged perhaps the Seattle Sounders’ gutsiest performance of the year on Sunday.
The 2016 MLS Rookie of the Year entered the second leg of the Sounders’ Western Conference Championship against the Colorado Rapids fighting a stomach illness. Friday was the worst of it, Saturday was nearly as bad and on Sunday it was still bothering him.
But that didn’t stop Morris from scoring his second goal in as many games and giving the Sounders a 1-0 victory at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, sending Seattle to its first-ever MLS Cup Final.
