COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Sounders rookie Jordan Morris scored the game-winning goal in the 56th minute as Seattle defeated the Colorado Rapids in the Western Conference finals 1-0 on the day and 3-1 on aggregate on Sunday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Seattle will play for a league championship for the first time in its modern era on Dec. 10. If Montreal tops Toronto in the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday, CenturyLink Field will even host it.
– This, of all Sounders teams, was the one that finally did it.
To put in perspective just how much turmoil has been baked into this season, Obafemi Martins was on Seattle’s roster for the better part of training camp and expected to again be a key contributor.
