Sounders at Atlanta, recap: A late Gut(tman) punch

The Seattle Sounders dropped a late result on the road against Atlanta United in a Saturday matinee show. With a point in their grasp going into stoppage time, a 94th minute goal sent Seattle home with a 2-1 loss.

Atlanta took a lead in the 23rd minute when a series of defensive breakdowns left Ronaldo Cisneros with plenty of space to hit his shot inside the Sounders' 18-yard box. His shot took a deflection as Nouhou attempted to block it, leaving Stefan Frei with no chance of denying the goal.

The Sounders pushed for an equalizer throughout the rest of the first half and created the better chances of the two sides in the second half, finally getting their payoff with a well-worked goal in the 68th.
