SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders on Saturday did something the club had never done before: come back from three goals down to earn a point.
Things looked bleak through 74 minutes at CenturyLink Field, as the Sounders trailed the New England Revolution 3-0. Seattle had hit two crossbars and a post and had gotten burned on the counterattack despite a massive amount of possession. The goals, though, just wouldn’t come.
“We were controlling the match from the early part of the first half, and they were fortunate to get that first goal,” said head coach Brian Schmetzer.
