Less than a month ago, the Seattle Sounders slunk out of Frisco with a 2-1 loss to FC Dallas nipping at their heels.
The game, the penultimate match of the regular season, offered Seattle the chance to clinch a postseason berth with a win. And it looked as though they might get it, if not for two goals in the final 10 minutes to dash those hopes and defer that playoff clincher to the final day of the regular season. It was a deflating evening, to say the least.
Seattle left Frisco with a 2-1 loss for the second time in as many months on Sunday.
