The Seattle Sounders are known for their big moments, and they almost had another. Instead, the reigning Leagues Cup champions crashed out of the 2025 MLS Cup playoffs after Minnesota United goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair scored his kick in the 10th round of the penalty shootout.
Seattle had forced a decisive match in the first round best-of-three series after winning Game 2. In Game 3, things started well with goals from Albert Rusnák and Danny Musovski, putting them up 2–0 within eight minutes.
