The Seattle Sounders will host Toronto FC in the MLS Cup final. The Sounders will only get stronger with defender Roman Torres returning to fitness after missing the Conference Final with a hamstring injury as a precaution.
Carlos Vela’s spectacular 2019 campaign has come to an end with a silent performance against the rock-solid Sounders. Brian Schmetzer and the Seattle Sounders will search to win their second MLS Cup on November 10.
