Toronto FC fans say win mark redemption over loss to Seattle last year
TORONTO — The cheers of Toronto fans rang out and fireworks and flares were set off at the city’s BMO Field after Toronto FC’s 2-0 win against the Seattle Sounders, taking the MLS Cup.
Beaming spectators who spilled out of the stadium say the win was extra sweet after Toronto lost the final last year to the Sounders in penalty kicks after a scoreless game.
“That game was redemption at its finest,” said Silvio Mazzulla, who was watching Saturday’s contest with his family.
“TFC played huge, there’s no reason why we can’t go back to back next year, so we’ll see what happens.”
