The Seattle Sounders are 90 minutes from MLS Cup, but they are not yet ready to call themselves finalists.
Following Tuesday's 2-1 home victory in Leg 1 of the Audi 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Championship, the Sounders have the edge ahead of Sunday's closing leg against the Colorado Rapids (1 p.m. PT; ESPN; 770 KTTH, El Rey 1360am), but there's the matter of those 90 minutes left to play, which will ultimately decide their fate.
"Starting the series with a win is very important," said Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer on a Wednesday conference call.
