Sounders’ backup defenders shine in LA victory

When the Seattle Sounders headed down to LA to face the Galaxy last weekend, they were coming off of a tough away loss to Vancouver. In that match, former Sounder Fredy Montero scored twice against them, and the Sounders only pulled one back despite having stat advantages in possession and shots. So when the Sounders were forced to start what looked like an even weaker backline in LA, it looked like it would be a bit of an uphill battle. But it turns out that wasn’t the case, as the Sounders defense held out for a clean sheet in their 3-0 win against the Galaxy.
