From MLSSoccer.com : For 66 tense, taut minutes, Toronto FC dominated the Seattle Sounders in their MLS Cup rematch, winning the possession battle, pulling the Rave Green ranks apart and carving out a range of scoring chances.
And for 66 minutes Stefan Frei stymied them, standing tall in Seattle�s goal with nine saves over the game�s first hour to keep the game scoreless.
But just as the home faithful�s nerves began to fray at a jam-packed, expectant BMO Field with the second half ticking away, Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco donned their hero�s capes right when they were needed most, securing the Reds' third major trophy of a peerless 2017 campaign.
Giovinco played Altidore through a gaping hole in the Sounders defense after a quick TFC transition up the middle of the park caught the visitors out in the 67th minute, and the US international beat Frei with a left-footed finish to win his and his team�s first-ever league title, sparking delirium among the Reds and their fans and securing hard-fought revenge for last year�s Cup heartbreak.
