It was a different looking Seattle Sounders team that took the pitch today against rivals LA Galaxy. With the departure of former head coach Sigi Schmid, and the signing of two new key players, the Seattle Sounders looked positively electric in this physical battle against the Galaxy.
Nicolás Lodeiro was a surprise starter for the Seattle Sounders squad, and immediately had a positive impact from the midfield. The team looked significantly sharper than they have in the past three matches; however, it is clear that there is still a long road ahead for the Seattle Sounders, who missed some prime opportunities to score.
