I think that was because they were doing aggregate and Red Bulls won the second game and technically won the belt but Atlanta advanced on aggregate.
If you mean one team defending it throughout the playoffs itβs never happened. NE in β14 and TOR in β19 had it throughout but lost in the final. If you mean in general, itβs pretty common. 21 of 29 times itβs eventually won by the MLS Cup holder. Only time it was in the playoffs and didnβt was β18.
