TUKWILA, Wash. — Seattle Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer said the message to his team after its 3-0 win over FC Dallas in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals on Sunday was that it wasn’t done yet.
Despite having a commanding aggregate lead, Schmetzer and the coaching staff know there’s still more work to be done. The biggest challenge will be keeping the players focused on the task at hand on Sunday in Frisco, Texas (6 p.m. PT; FS1/KIRO 97.3 FM/El Rey 1360AM).
“I’ve said since day one that these are must-win games, and it is still a must-win game,” Schmetzer said.
