SEATTLE - One leg down, and nobody’s complaining.
That was more or less the feeling at CenturyLink Field as the Colorado Rapids and Seattle Sounders duked it out in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship on Tuesday.
For the Rapids’ part, they got an away goal, a vital weapon to have in a playoff series that breaks aggregate ties with goals scored away from home. The Sounders, meanwhile, held serve at home by winning 2-1 and taking a goals edge into the second leg away.
It wasn’t perfect for either side, but both left with something.
