SEATTLE — One of the hallmarks of good teams is that they figure out ways to get points even when they aren’t at their best. The Seattle Sounders, who came into the match riding a nine-game winless run in MLS play, were not at their best on Saturday against the LA Galaxy, a team riding high on back-to-back wins to open the season.
That the Sounders still managed to claim all three points with a 3-2 victory would seem to be a sign that concerns over a sudden drop-off were probably a bit alarmist.
