Seattle Sounders FC vs. LAFC: Player ratings

When you have the longest possible season followed by the shortest preseason, and then add five games in two weeks, lineups will get juggled. Last Sunday we had half our players out for various reasons and still managed to outshoot the opponent 22-5, looking clearly superior for nearly the entire match. Unfortunately for the home team, an early goal against held up and the Sounders were unable to find an equalizer despite dominating long stretches. Losing 0-1 at home to expansion team LAFC isn’t a great start, but when considering the circumstances, it’s understandable. Seattle played without five or more starters and still was the better team.
