Seattle Sounders became the first Major League Soccer side to win the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday after Raul Ruidiaz's double helped them to a 3-0 win over Mexico's Pumas UNAM on Wednesday and a 5-2 victory on aggregate.
The American side's victory, in front of a record crowd of 68,741 at Lumen Field, ended a streak of 13 consecutive Champions League title wins by Mexican clubs.MLS sides DC United and Los Angeles Galaxy won the region's premier club competition when it was called the CONCACAF Champions Cup and featured a different format.
"There are no words to describe what I'm feeling right now, the club made history and deserved it, now enjoy it," Ruidiaz told Fox Sports. The Peru striker broke the deadlock with a deflected effort in the 45th minute and another late on before Nicolas Lodeiro scored from a rebound in the 88th minute.The title means that the Sounders will also become the first MLS team to progress to the FIFA Club World Cup, the annual competition that brings together the champions from the six global confederations.Source: Reuters
