TUKWILA, Wash. — After going through the film and having a couple days to stew on the result, Brian Schmetzer was still frustrated with how the Seattle Sounders 2-1 loss to Austin FC played out.
“The goals we gave up I didn’t like,” Schmetzer told reporters following Friday’s training session. “I thought we could have done better. Some of the stuff yeah, it was OK. Some of it was better than I thought it would be on rewatch, but not by much.”
What Schmetzer found particularly puzzling was how the Sounders gave up both goals at points in the game where they seemed to be taking control.
