Raúl Ruidíaz is a force to be reckoned with in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
Ruidíaz, who joined the Sounders midway through the 2018 regular season, has been one of the most lethal goal-scorers in Major League Soccer in recent seasons. A two-time golden boot winner in Liga MX, he quickly garnered a reputation as one of the most prolific players in the league with match-winning performances that propelled the Sounders to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.
During his first jaunt in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in 2018, Ruidíaz bagged three goals in two games, including an absolute sidewinder of a volley that forced extra time and, eventually, penalty kicks in the Western Conference Semifinals.
