The Seattle Sounders head into their Week 8 clash against LAFC within touching distance of their opponents, who sit atop the Western Conference standings. Sunday’s six-pointer would have a different aura surrounding the match had Seattle not handed Toronto FC its first defeat of the campaign last weekend.
While Will Bruin’s brace and Cristian Roldan’s venomous winner have gotten most of the headlines, the Rave Green might have settled for a deflating draw if not for the late-game heroics of goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
With only a minute remaining in second-half stoppage time, TFC’s new signing, Alejandro Pozuelo, carved out a glorious chance to steal a point on the road.
