The 2-1 lead is good. It isn’t enough to make plans for December 10th. Those plans will be made or broken based on leg two, today. The Colorado Rapids are seeking a third trip to MLS Cup. Seattle Sounders FC want to make their first. Commerce City, Colorado is hosting the 1 PM match on ESPN, which gives the Rapids an advantage due to the mile high elevation. That advantage would show up late, and so it is key for the Sounders to seize the game early while they have full lungs.
Any win or draw sees Seattle go to the MLS Cup.
