Seattle Sounders vs. Philadelphia Union Live Stream: Watch Online Streaming US Open Cup Final Match

The Seattle Sounders and Philadelphia Union are playing the 2014 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Final live on Tuesday night and the matchup comes from PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania as the two MLS sides face off and this is a big matchup for the teams, as the winners will get a berth into the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League and it will be tough for Philly since the Sounders are one of the best teams in Major League Soccer this season.

The Sounders are looking to win the trophy and this is the oldest trophy in USA soccer and that makes it a very big deal for both teams. Philadelphia has not made the final before and they have previously made it to the semis a couple years ago and this has pride on the line as well, as the state of Pennsylvania is third behind NY and Cali for teams with the most wins for the trophy. The Sounders are in a familiar place and they have won three titles and have also been to the final another time and now they have the chance to do it again. Seattle is looking to win this and the MLS Cup this year and they previously lost this final to Sporting Kansas city back in 2012.

The Sounders have been leading the MLS for most of the season and now they are really getting into gear as the season comes to a close. The team has the lead in the western conference standings and they are already into the playoffs after clinching a spot. The team has 54 points and an extra game on everyone else and they have a three point lead over the LA Galaxy and a considerable lead over everyone else in the west.

The Union come into the game at sixth in the east standings and they are battling for a playoff spot right now with a number of teams in the eastern conference. The two at the top in DC United and Sporting Kansas City have solid leads and behind them are the New England Revolution and they have a lock on third place. After that it's up for grabs and New York is there with the Columbus Crew for now and the Union are the next team in the standings and they are just ahead of Toronto and Houston.

Philly comes into their first US Open Final looking to beat the Sounders and that would be an upset for the team and this makes it very intriguing for the matchup in the championship. The Sounders have a strong team and they have Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin leading the way and now they have the chance to get this cup and their ultimate goal this season is to win both the US Open Cup and MLS Cup.
