Seattle Sounders' unlikely 2016 run ends with epic first MLS Cup

Champions.

Drink it in, because a run to a title has never been crazier than this.

It was never the prettiest of affairs on Saturday night. The Sounders, in fact, made MLS Cup final history by becoming the first team to ever go a full match without registering a shot on goal. Seattle often struggled to cobble together meaningful forays into the attacking third, and most of the Sounders’ most vital threats were often nullified by Toronto FC’s numbers. As much as most of us thought TFC’s defense would struggle it was ultimately its most imperious asset.
