SEATTLE, Wash. – The Seattle Sounders have added their name to soccer’s history books.

The Sounders defeated Mexico’s Pumas 3-0 to win the CONCACAF Champions League title.

They became the first team from Major League Soccer to claim the championship of club teams in North and Central America and the Caribbean since the current format was adopted in 2008.

Seattle was the fifth MLS team to reach the final and the first to finish the task.

Officially, Seattle won the two leg final 5-2.

The teams played a 2-2 draw last week in Mexico City.
