Seattle Sounders vs. LAFC: Player ratings

I’ve been confident in this team all postseason, and I was delighted to see the players and staff showcasing their own confidence during the 3-1 Seattle win. Even down a goal, the Sounders never looked rattled, downcast, or disorganized. If anything, that LAFC score against the run of play seemed to inspire the away team, and the Sounders began to impose their will immediately afterward. Playing the shield winners, Seattle conceded possession but put together a masterclass of defensive shape, resolute dedication to a tactical plan, and utter domination. Anyone can buy amazing players and draw up tactics, but this team, and this coach, have complete belief in each other.
