Since the Seattle Sounders’ struggles first began about two months ago, the common thread has been an inability to find the back of the net. Although the Sounders had often created plenty of chances, they had failed to score more than one goal in any of their previous 10 league matches heading into Saturday’s match.
In that sense, the 3-3 tie with Charlotte FC was a welcomed change of pace. The Sounders were dangerous offensively almost from the opening whistle — generating their first quality chance in the 3rd minute — and kept up the pressure virtually until the very end of the match.
