Boy howdy was this an unappealing match. Neither team looked good at Starfire on Friday night, with each side putting together maybe, maybe ... 20 minutes of respectable soccer. In the end, Seattle Sounders FC 2 came out on top 2-0, but it wasn’t a convincing win.
S2’s best minutes of the game were the first 15 or so and the match looked on its way to being a route. Shandon Hopeau and Irvin Parra looked particularly dangerous in the opening moments, and they were both involved in the play that resulted in S2’s first goal.
While driving towards the middle Hopeau executed an excellently weighted little cut-back pass that found David Olsen streaking into the box.
