An important win, mostly because it could easily have been an embarrassing loss.
The New York Red Bulls re-started their season where they had left off: with a win and a clean sheet. The 2-0 home win over Seattle Sounders was important, because it keeps RBNY competing for the lead in the Eastern Conference and because the team has finally accumulated as many wins (seven) as it has losses (seven) for this season so far. The slate is wiped clean; RBNY has at least got out of the hole it dug for itself with six losses in its first seven league games this season.
