Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets for this historic match, with one of the largest crowds in Seattle soccer history expected to be on-hand.

There is a lot on the line for the Sounders; this could be the team's first international cup, making them the first MLS team to win the continental title. In addition, a Sounders win on May 4 would secure their slot in the FIFA Club World Cup, a competition no MLS team has ever reached.
