A promising first half for the Seattle Sounders was marred by mystifying calls by an inexperienced referee. This was followed by a disastrous second half in which the Chicago Fire scored three unanswered goals to embarrass Seattle on the road.
The Sounders have a very short turnaround before heading to Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday. SKC are tied on points at the top of the Western Conference.
The Sounders are now 2-4-4, with a goal difference of -1, through 10 games played. That’s good for 1 PPG and 8th place in the West.
