Toronto, who endured a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out defeat to the Sounders in the title match in Toronto last season, became the first Canadian club to win the MLS Cup. They added the league's ultimate prize to the Supporters' Shield they won as the team with the best record in the league. With their Canadian Championship they completed a historic MLS treble.

"For this group of guys to work every single day having to remember last year, to get back here, to play that game in this atmosphere with that on the line - it's unbelievable," said Toronto skipper Michael Bradley.
