TORONTO — No Clint Dempsey. No Nicolás Lodeiro. No Víctor Rodríguez, no Román Torres, no Osvaldo Alonso. No problem.
The Seattle Sounders, sporting a bevy of injuries and squad rotation and a makeshift 5-4-1 formation, waltzed into BMO Field on Wednesday night and took three well-earned points from Toronto FC in a rematch of the last two MLS Cups. It wasn’t just that the Sounders won 2-1 and exacted revenge on the team that had dethroned them five months to the date prior, but that Seattle put in its most complete and impressive performance of the season.
