The Seattle Sounders fell 2-0 against the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday night. Despite holding possession for large swaths of the match, goals either side of halftime from Rapids striker Andre Shinyashiki doomed the Rave Green on the road.
With Emanuel Cecchini and Nicolás Lodeiro lining up in central midfield, the Sounders looked to dictate tempo on the road. It almost paid off early, as Harry Shipp put Justin Dhillon through on goal, but Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin raced off his line and made a smart save.
