Nicolás Lodeiro - Leading Seattle Sounders to the MLS Cup

The Seattle Sounders achieved their biggest moment in the city’s soccer history on Sunday by winning MLS Cup, 3-1 over Toronto FC, in front of a record 69,274 fans at CenturyLink Field. But to those in charge, the achievement does not mean scaling the top of the mountain. Instead, it's merely a springboard to even greater heights, both on and off the field.

Despite winning MLS Cup in 2016, getting to the final a year later and being the envy of many MLS clubs with 40,000 average attendances, the Sounders hadn't given their city a chance to watch its team take the field in the league's biggest game on home soil.
