Nouhou shines in first MLS start, channels best of left back Joevin Jones

SEATTLE — Although Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw against Orlando City did not finish exactly as the Seattle Sounders had hoped, one positive takeaway was the performance of left back Nouhou, who made his MLS regular-season starting debut.

Nouhou had made his first three appearances of the season in the previous three games before finally earning the start against Orlando City. Normal left back starter Joevin Jones began on the bench likely due to rest given how much he has played recently for club and country, and his replacement did a respectable job in his stead.
