Sounders FC 2 returns to the road for a rematch with top-of-the-table San Antonio FC on Saturday, May 13, with the hopes of winning a third match on the trot. The Rave Green will enter Toyota Field (5:30 p.m. PT) in fine form on the back of a resounding 2-0 win last week over Cascadia rivals Portland Timbers 2.
SAFC employs a unique system, which is effectively a bunker-and-counter 4-2-4 with the midfield double-pivot playing a crucial role in springing the four-man forward line in transition.
SAFC’s danger-man Billy Forbes was recently named USL Player of the Month for April, and for good reason.
