Seattle’s first trip north to BC Place this season was arguably the low point of the season. Playing their last match in a stretch of five games in 14 days, the team looked worn out in a 2-0 loss that could have been worse.

With injuries and Gold Cup absences looming large for both squads, let’s look at what lessons may be learned from last weekend’s action, and how the Sounders might grab some points up north.
