Following a dramatic penalty-shootout victory over Toronto FC on Saturday to win the 2016 MLS Cup, Sounders FC returned to Seattle on Sunday afternoon.
Fans met the team at Boeing Field’s King County International Terminal to welcome the victorious Rave Green home.
“I’m here to see the Sounders,” said a fan named Connor. “They won MLS Cup and I’m gonna give my full 90 and support my boys in green through thick and thin, and we’ve done it this season so we’ve got a lot to be celebrating.”
“We finally did it,” said another fan.
