Seattle Sounders FC 2 were unable to stop the rot against Sacramento Republic FC late Sunday night in a 2-0 loss. It was the USL outfits least inspiring performance of the year. Besides Sam Fowler, who had an impressive 8 saves, everyone on the team played below what they are capable of. Some of that is likely due to the expected mid-season fatigue of first year professionals and some due to more veteran teams discovering and exploiting S2’s weaknesses.
This was a match that looked to be an excellent chance to get things back on track, but early on it was clear that S2 would continue to stumble.
