The Seattle Sounders Academy U-17s won the 2019 Generation adidas Champions Division, defeating Spanish side Valencia CF 1-0 in the final on Saturday in Frisco, Texas. As the reigning champs of the GA Cup Premier Division and the only MLS club to even advance to the tournament’s title match, they have etched their names in history as the first North American side to win the event.
With the match seeming destined for penalties, Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez’s cross found the head of Ray Serrano, who guided his shot past the goalkeeper with only seconds remaining in the second period of extra time.
