Former Monarcas Morelia striker Raul Ruidiaz was on target twice as the Seattle Sounders won 3-1 at LAFC to clinch a place in the 2019 MLS Cup Final.
After beating the LA Galaxy 5-3, the pressure was on LAFC to build on their historic win and took an early lead when Eduard Atuesta fired the hosts in front from a superb free kick.
While the early goal might suggest that LAFC were on their way to a comfortable game, in truth the Sounders were giving the Black and Gold a real test and produced an equalizer just five minutes later.
