TUKWILA, Wash. – Characterizing the 20-year-old’s pair of mistakes that led to Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Sporting Kansas City as the folly of youth, Sounders head coach Brain Schmetzer emphasized at training Wednesday that left back Nouhou Tolo would need to learn from his errors to continue to grow as a player.
Both of KC’s goals were effectivy the result of Nouhou’s errors Sunday. First, Johnny Russell forced Nouhou into a risky slide tackle just inside the penalty area, drawing a foul and setting up an Ilie Sanchez penalty kick in the 34th minute.
