Tactical breakdown: Three things the Seattle Sounders must do to defeat Toronto FC

The Seattle Sounders are hosting Toronto FC on Saturday (12 p.m. PT; ESPN, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM | TICKETS) in one of the more anticipated matchups of the season: a rematch of the 2016 MLS Cup Final.

TFC is again spearheaded by their trio of stars in Sebastian Giovinco, Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley, but Greg Vanney’s team still has plenty of talent in support. The Sounders bunkered down on that freezing Ontario evening at BMO Field last December and won in penalty kicks, but Seattle’s offense has ripped of six goals in its last two games since moving forward Will Bruin into the starting lineup and slotting Jordan Morris on the left wing.
