TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders are well aware that they have their work cut out for them if they are to advance in Leagues Cup play. To do that, they’ll need to beat Liga MX’s CF Monterrey by at least three goals on Sunday at Lumen Field.
While the odds are very clearly against the Sounders pulling this off, they are approaching it as a sort of “double opportunity.”
“The players know the situation we’re in and games like this provide an opportunity to not only advance in the tournament but for momentum, for confidence,” Sounders right back Alex Roldan told reporters following Friday’s training session.
