Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer was understandably pleased with his team's three-goal output against Charlotte FC on Saturday night.
The three goals conceded? Not so much.
The Sounders let leads slip on three separate occasions, and their inability to close out the match cost them two valuable points on the road.
While the 3-3 draw made for entertaining viewing, the Sounders surely would have preferred a less chaotic scene in Charlotte, especially after finally getting the attack moving in a positive direction.
The good news is the Sounders will have an extended training period to review what went wrong defensively as they have nine more days before their next match.
