Seattle faced a must-win game at home against Cincinnati and did not come through. Despite a resurgent second half performance, there were too many big mistakes, and the Sounders couldn’t overcome multiple player absences and a lack of cohesion, which ultimately led to a 1-1 tie. This doesn’t officially end the Sounders season, but the chance of Seattle making the playoffs for a 14th straight year is remote.

Goalkeeper

Stefan Frei – 6 | Community – 7.4

Frei has had a strange year. Although he hasn’t given up an abnormal number of goals, it’s the type of goals the Seattle team defense is conceding that is infuriating for any observer.
