Seattle Sounders Head Coach Brian Schmetzer was admittedly cautious about returning to CenturyLink Field for the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals of the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs against the Vancouver Whitecaps, but after a gutsy scoreless road draw at BC Place on Sunday, the Sounders are still in prime position to advance.
“It’s not that easy,” Schmetzer warned. “[Whitecaps Head Coach Carl Robinson] is going to get his guys ready, we’re obviously going to benefit from getting some guys back in the fold, so it should be a tough match. We’ll be in front of our home crowd so hopefully we’ll carry that advantage through.
