Lodeiro already had three goals and six assists in seven games.
Nicolas Lodeiro rescued a result for the Seattle Sounders. Again. Without Lodeiro’s contributions, the Sounders’ season would be effectively over. In his past three games alone, Lodeiro’s late goals are the only thing sitting between the Sounders going pointless and keeping their postseason hopes alive with a pair of road points.
It’s not ideal that for all the talk about the Sounders wanting to escape the cycle of being overly reliant on one or two players, that we’re still basically in that position. The difference now, it appears, is that Lodeiro is capable of grabbing those results on his own.
