After Leg 1 of the Western Conference Championship, the Seattle Sounders are in the driver’s seat.
Gustav Svensson opened the scoring in the 11th minute, Will Bruin added another in the 42nd and the Sounders managed a 2-0 triumph over the Houston Dynamo on Tuesday – their first-ever victory in their MLS history when traveling to Houston.
The victory puts the Sounders in prime position to advance to their second-straight MLS Cup final, a ticket they’ll have a chance to punch in Leg 2 of the series at CenturyLink Field on Thursday, Nov.
