Chances are, most of the players who participated in Sunday’s dreadful 0-0 tie between the Seattle Sounders and San Jose Earthquakes will have forgotten about this game in short order. It wasn’t just that the game was scoreless, it was that neither team really even sustained any sort of pressure. The two teams combined for just 15 shots, collectively generated just .8 xG, and each goalkeeper was only forced into one save.
The details will surely fade for Stefan Frei, as well, but the game will likely retain a special place in the goalkeeper’s heart.
