LOS ANGELES – For the third time in four seasons, the Seattle Sounders are going to MLS Cup.

Raúl Ruidíaz scored a brace, Nicolás Lodeiro bagged one of his own and the Sounders pulled off a 3-1 victory over a heavily favored, Supporters’ Shield-winning LAFC side at Banc of California Stadium, clinching the Western Conference Championship.

Eduard Atuesta netted the only goal for the hosts with a first-half free kick in the 17th minute that snuck inside the near post.

But Ruidíaz would level just five minutes later with a gorgeous finish from just inside the area that beat LAFC goalkeeper Tyer Miller to make it 1-1.
