TORONTO, Ontario — Well, it was a good run.
Toronto FC, quite possibly adding the final piece they needed to call themselves the “best team in the history of MLS”, dominated from end to end to win the franchise’s first-ever MLS Cup. The final score read 2-0 — with the second goal coming in the 95th minute — but that was deceiving. If not for Stefan Frei’s nine saves, the score would have been far more lopsided.
The Sounders came into their second consecutive MLS Cup final at BMO Field as reigning champions. There is pressure with that, sure, but the real pressure was with the home team.
