In remarkably new and frustrating territory for the Sounders, they were unable to secure an equalizing goal from 22 shots, only 5 of which were on target. It was a hair-pulling kind of day for both players and fans alike. The Sounders, who also dominated the possession of the match with 62%, had the majority of opportunities and options, yet their attack failed time after time. It was hoped that the return of Clint Dempsey would spark the more creative and dangerous attack, but it was not to be.
