Whew. That was something, huh? The Sounders’ 1-0 win had everything – plenty of shots, lots of open play, crushing tackles, dramatic refereeing, and a late winner for the home team. Sporting Kansas City has always been a tough matchup for Seattle, and their style of negative soccer just tends to frustrate the Sounders attempts to play a bit more free-flowing game. Riding fantastic goalkeeping coupled with opportunistic set piece play Seattle had a number of chances to score that went wanting, instead relying on a late game surge to score the only goal of the match.
