Yes, it really happened, no it wasn’t a crazy fever dream. The Seattle Sounders went down 3-0 to DC United at home, only to score four straight goals in 28 minutes for the improbable comeback victory. That sets a new record in MLS as the only team to ever win in regulation after coming back from three goals down.
There will be plenty of questions about what went wrong with the team that took the field to start the match after a truly disastrous first half, but the energy and attacking urgency shown to finish off the game will give fans hope that the Sounders simply came out slow and rusty after a long international break.
