MLS: Seattle Sounders ease past Houston Dynamo to reach final

Clint Dempsey was among the scorers as Seattle Sounders beat Houston Dynamo 3-0 to set up a repeat MLS Cup final showdown with Toronto FC.

Former Fulham striker Dempsey scored Seattle’s second goal of the night as the defending champions completed an emphatic 5-0 aggregate victory to advance.

They will face Toronto in Canada on December 9 in a repeat of the 2016 final, which Seattle won on penalties.
Sounders had taken a stranglehold on the Western Conference final after winning last week’s first leg 2-0 in Houston.

And any hope of a Houston comeback were snuffed out after 22 minutes when Victor Rodriguez played a superb one-two with Will Bruin before tucking away his finish.

Dempsey then doubled Seattle’s lead in the 57th minute with another well-worked goal that put Sounders 4-0 ahead on aggregate.

Joevin Jones found space down the left flank and calmly stroked a low cross into the path of Dempsey, who stabbed home a low shot.

As Houston’s frustration grew, the match threatened to turn ugly and Tomas Martinez was given a red card for shoving the head of Seattle’s Jordy Delem as he was lying on the field.

Bruin made it 3-0 in the 73rd minute, catching the Houston defence cold before lifting a deft chip over the advancing Dynamo goalkeeper Joe Willis.

The win means Seattle will now have the chance to become the first team since the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2011 and 2012 to successfully defend the trophy.
