SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders’ 1-0 home loss to Toronto FC on Saturday looked very much like Seattle’s 3-3 draw with the New England Revolution last week: tons of possession, lots of chances and, unfortunately, a missed opportunity at three points.
Toronto FC rested Sebastian Giovinco, Victor Vazquez and others, but the Sounders were still unable to find a breakthrough in a rematch of the 2016 MLS Cup Final. The Sounders had 64 percent possession, completed over 650 passes and took 12 shots but the finishing touch in the final third just wasn’t there.
“Overall, there is a lot of frustration in that locker room,” said Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer, who lost his first game at CenturyLink Field since taking over last July, a span of 14 games.
