For the first time in the Brian Schmetzer era, the frustration over Seattle Sounders soccer was discernible.
The distress over lack of scoring — and, in particular, playing from behind — could easily blow the top off Mount Rainier.
In a rematch Saturday of last season’s MLS Cup final against shorthanded Toronto FC, the Sounders had every reason to secure a victory, collect the three points and head to an extended weekend of rest and enjoyment.
Instead, Toronto pinned a 1-0 loss on Seattle, ending its 14-game home unbeaten streak in front of 41,468 stunned fans at CenturyLink Field.
