The Seattle Sounders secured their second road win of the season on Tuesday with a convincing 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids. Clint Dempsey recorded a brace and gave the Sounders the lead just six minutes into the match with a neat left-footed finish from 12 yards out.
It only took 17 seconds to go from the hands of Stefan Frei to the back of Tim Howard’s net in a clinical counterattack. Dempsey will rightfully get the credit, as will Joevin Jones, who tallied his sixth assist of the season, but Nicolas Lodeiro catalyzed the entire sequence with his impetus in attack and finished it with his off-the-ball movement in front of goal.
