There are times when a 3-1 aggregate goal loss to a team in Mexico would feel alright for an MLS side. This is not one of those times. Seattle Sounders FC entered the match with a 1-nil lead. Their brethren dispatched Tijuana and Tigres last night. Chivas Guadalajara thumped the Sounders on the head, took their money and laughed.
The 3-nil scoreline may have minimized just how overwhelmed the Sounders were. Chivas, for their part, made sure to take advantage of Seattle’s mistakes. They gave no quarter, and took all names, and easily could have had more.
