The top moment from Seattle’s 2022 season is also incidentally one of the top moments in club history and, really, all of MLS history.

The victory was delivered by a spectacular performance in the second leg of the CCL Final at Lumen Field on May 4, which saw Seattle take a 3-0 victory to win the series 5-2 on aggregate. The final flourish was this 88th-minute rebound finish from captain Nicolás Lodeiro, which set off a magical scene at Lumen Field as a wild celebration ensued.
