Seattle rebounded from a poor home showing by going on the road and routing a disheveled Toronto FC team. Despite starting a heavily rotated lineup missing upwards of seven starters, the Sounders were the better team, leveraging their vaunted culture and deep roster to plug in rookies and role players, resulting in an impressive road victory on short rest. The final was 2-0 and it could have been closer or more of a rout, depending on a few bounces, but the game always felt within Seattle’s control. The Sounders have shown they take talent from wherever they can, whether it’s a promising young player starting centrally or wide, college guys who excel in defense and attacking midfield, or veterans anchoring the middle or playing striker.
