TUKWILA — To suggest the Seattle Sounders have spent much of the past seven months thinking about their last encounter with Sporting KC would be a bit of a stretch. In that time, the Sounders made the playoffs for a 13th consecutive season, became the first MLS team to win Concacaf Champions League and overcame a rocky start to the 2022 regular season to put themselves back in playoff position.
To say they’ve completely forgotten about that encounter? That would be a bit of a stretch, too.
It’s not so much that the match itself was particularly memorable, but rather a moment.
