TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders enter Wednesday night’s match against the Houston Dynamo (7:30 p.m. PT; JOEtv, KIRO Radio 97.3FM, El Rey 1360AM) having won four games in a row for the first time all season. A fifth would secure a postseason berth.
Ever since interim head coach Brian Schmetzer took over in late July, the main focus has been to tackle one game at a time, a necessary albeit difficult task while occupying the Western Conference’s basement. Yet one by one, the team has strung an impressive run together and catapulted into the playoff picture.
