MLS Cup lineups and notes: Osvaldo Alonso will start for the Sounders

TORONTO — Here are the notable notes for Saturday night’s MLS Cup final between the Sounders and Toronto FC at BMO Field:

  • Alan Kelly is the match referee, Frank Anderson and Joe Fletcher are his assistants and Danny Thornberry is the fourth official.
  • The league championship is one game, winner-take-all — no aggregate scoring, away-goal tiebreakers or any of those complications to deal with on Saturday night. Toronto won the right to host by virtue of a better regular-season record. If the match is tied at the end of 90 minutes, there will be two 15-minute periods of extra time followed by penalty kicks of the score is still knotted.
