TUKWILA — It was a light training session Friday at Starfire for the Seattle Sounders, and for good reason. Coming off Tuesday’s emotional last-minute winner against Santos Laguna in the Leagues Cup semifinal, the Sounders were on a plane headed for Salt Lake City after practice, as they look to continue their good run of form in MLS play Saturday.
Still, much of the talk was of Tuesday’s heroics, and the looming trip to Las Vegas next week. While the Sounders said the right things about focusing on their next opponent, they conceded that the Leagues Cup final against Léon was lurking in the background.
