MLS Cup - Final: -Sat Dec 10 Toronto FC 0-0 Seattle Sounders FC - SS wins it 5-4 in Penalty Kick Shootout. dN Game highlights [VIDEO] dN My MLS Cup Notes: I don't know how Seattle pulled this off. Toronto sure didn't deserve to lose the championship game, but that they did. They dominated the game at several points, and limited Seattle's attack to almost nothing, yet Penalty Kicks killed them. Both teams smothered the others creative players: Altidore, Giovinco, Morris and Lodeiro all had little impact on the game at all. There was no real midfield play to speak of. A lot of the game was just one team roaring from one end to the other and then not being able to do anything, so the other team took the ball and raced back the other direction. Oof. Seattle keeper Stefan Frei was the Man Of
