A rollercoaster season for the Seattle Sounders remained so on Saturday as the team came off the high of a quality home win and hoped to translate that into a road win in Georgia, but they were unable to earn a much-needed result. Seattle played fairly well throughout the match, yet they conceded once early and once very late in a demoralizing 2-1 loss. By the end of the weekend, they were back below the playoff line. At times against Atlanta, the Sounders looked excellent, passing the ball with precision and showcasing quality movement. However, that coordination in the final third and small defensive errors — which domino into chances that opponents always seem to finish — were again the difference.
