The execution was impressive, but perhaps the most significant aspect of Toronto FC’s win over the Seattle Sounders was simply the belief.
Going to CenturyLink Field - where the Sounders had not lost since July 9 of last year - is a daunting prospect at the best of times. Going there without three key players and two other everyday starters on less than 72 hours’ rest should be points in the bag for a team like Seattle, and plenty of people - ourselves included - wrote off TFC’s chances of getting anything more than a scrappy draw.
