They say that history does not repeat, but it does rhyme. The Seattle Sounders have faced elimination after a 3-0 loss at Real Salt Lake before — in 2011, coincidentally the year they last faced CF Monterrey. That 2011 Sounders team fell one goal short of a heroic comeback, but the 2023 Sounders will need a similarly dominant effort Sunday to advance to the next stage of the Leagues Cup. Monterrey stunned RSL with a 3-0 win on Wednesday with swift attacking sequences. Now the Sounders will need to risk ruin to Monterrey’s counterattacks if they wish to gain a three-goal victory and advance.
