This game was a microcosm of the entire 2017 season for me. Sure, we got a point against Orlando, but their equalizer on the very last touch of the game was completely disheartening. The Sounders play very well in spurts, but they’re prone to some disturbing lacks of concentration – and it seems all the breaks go against them. A cleaner finish at any time in the first 90 minutes could have finished off the game, but instead Seattle bumbled around and failed to hang onto another lead. Some of the coaches’ changes should be analyzed, but Sounders players also need to figure out how to capitalize on opportunities earlier and put the game away.
