TUKWILA, Wash. — While Seattle Sounders fans get used to life without all-MLS defender Chad Marshall, the team returned to the pitch as it continues to navigate the most difficult stretch of the season. Having secured a point on the road against the Philadelphia Union, the Sounders will look to take advantage of a wounded Sporting Kansas City side before they face FC Dallas and the Montreal Impact on short rest with a limited compliment of players.
That daunting prospect aside, the team did set aside some time to fete the stalwart defender, having said their official goodbyes earlier this week.
