Nicolás Lodeiro was built for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
With his passionate, fiery disposition on the pitch, Seattle’s Uruguayan midfield maestro seems to always elevate his game around this time of year. In Seattle’s 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake on Saturday, Lodeiro tallied a goal and an assist, sending the Sounders back to the Western Conference Final for the third time in four seasons.
Dating back to when he spurred the Sounders to their first-ever MLS Cup back in 2016, the club captain has notched six goals and four assists from just 15 postseason matches.
