It has been a couple of weeks since any Sounders team has provided a half of soccer that was fun to watch, but the patient were rewarded with a excellent half from Sounders FC 2 down in Carson, California, Saturday night.
From the first kick it was obvious S2 were looking to play a more aggressive match than they did in Vancouver last week, with high pressure being applied all over the field. Movement was much better from the whole team and there were plentiful passing options and direct, dangerous runs.
The dynamic play style from S2 was rewarded with an early goal in the seventh minute.
