SEATTLE — Trap games don’t get much trappier than Sunday’s. The Seattle Sounders were riding an eight match unbeaten run, hadn’t given up a goal in 400 minutes, were coming off a win over first-place Sporting Kansas City and were facing last-place Minnesota United at home, a team they’d just beaten 4-0 on the road a couple weeks ago.
On paper, it’s a game the Sounders should win virtually every time, even in a league with as much parity as MLS.
So, of course, they came moments away from not doing that.
