The 2025 Leagues Cup final is the Seattle Sounders' chance to win the only major North American competition they have not won and avenge their defeat on their previous appearance in the showpiece, losing 3-2 to Leon despite being 1-0 ahead in the 60th minute in 2021. The Sounders beat the LA Galaxy 2-0 in the semi-finals on Thursday courtesy of Pedro de la Vega's seventh-minute strike and Osaze De Rosario's clever goal, flicking the ball over his markers before stabbing in with 33 minutes remaining.
