The Seattle Sounders have been here before.
With the 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake at CenturyLink Field on Wednesday night, the Rave Green have clinched a spot in the Western Conference Final for the third time in four years.
“I think we have an experienced team,” said Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer. “I’m extremely happy to go into a Western Conference Final. I don’t care who we play.”
Led by a veteran attack that featured Nicolás Lodeiro, Raúl Ruidíaz, Jordan Morris and Joevin Jones, Seattle came flying out of the gates, striking the woodwork and forcing Nick Rimando into string of impressive saves in the first half.
