• MLS Cup: One last game and the chance to win it all for Sounders in Toronto

• Keys to 2016 MLS Cup: How will the Sounders defend Jozy Altidore? Six spot kicks later, after Toronto FC’s Michael Bradley and Justin Morrow missed their attempts, Seattle’s Roman Torres converted to Clint Irwin’s right to give the Rave Green their first title. While the Seattle Sounders celebrated with the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy after the MLS Cup final, numb Toronto FC players tried to process what had just happened. Seattle, which was mired near the bottom of the league in mid-July, becomes the 11th team in league history to win the championship. And ultimately, the most exciting player in Major League Soccer, was pulled from the championship game in extra time on Saturday night — clearly a reflection more about his health than his ineffective play. The Seattle keeper’s biggest save, however, did not come in the shootout but deep into extra time when the Swiss dove across the net at full stretch and with his left hand tipped away a looping header from Jozy Altidore.
In association football, Toronto FC play Seattle Sounders FC in the MLS Cup final held at Toronto's BMO Field. The Sounders win 5–4 in a penalty shootout after the game ended scoreless after extra time. It is the Sounders' first MLS title.
