The record will show that the Seattle Sounders were roundly outplayed by Los Angeles FC in their MLS is Back Round of 16 match. The 4-1 scoreline was, arguably, even a bit flattering to the Sounders, who had no answer for the LAFC press early on, were a bit lucky not to concede a couple more goals, and didn’t really muster much of an attack until subs starting coming on in the second half.
Taken as a whole, the performance at the tournament was hardly inspiring. The Sounders only looked good offensively in one of their four matches and they only looked good defensively in two of them.
