Raul Ruidiaz 'gets it done in big games.' Here's how he became the Sounders' fearsome scoring threat.

TUKWILA – Allow Raul Ruidiaz to introduce himself.

That’s actually what he prefers when it comes to soccer. And few settings for a proper introduction will rival Sunday’s MLS Cup final. An estimated 70,000 fans are expected to fill CenturyLink Field while a global audience will either tune in to ABC or online to witness the championship match between the Sounders and Toronto FC.

They’ll all want a show, and Ruidiaz is their entertainer.

“Since the moment I came here, I wanted to play in a moment like this in a match like this,” said Ruidiaz as translated from Spanish through an interpreter.
