The Seattle Sounders secured a well-deserved 1-0 win over Chivas last Wednesday at CenturyLink Field in the first quarterfinal leg of CONCACAF Champions League. Seattle held serve at home and by doing so, put most of the pressure on Chivas to answer.
The Sounders have a great opportunity to return to the CCL semifinals, but they know the work is only halfway done. A massive test looms this Wednesday at Estadio Akron in Guadalajara in front of 46,000 fans.
“It’s going to be crazy especially after all the first legs of MLS teams’ success,” said forward Will Bruin, referencing the Sounders, New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC’s wins over Liga MX sides last week.
