Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer bristled when asked Tuesday whether he’s gotten over Saturday’s 1-1 draw in San Jose, when the equalizer was notched by the home side in injury time.
Not that his team had played that technically perfect a game to begin with, missing several chances off of set plays and in close. But when Nicolas Lodeiro scored the opening goal in the 84th minute, it appeared the Sounders were about to steal a critical game on the road.
Alas, the lead quickly vanished in the closing minutes, when the Sounders appeared to be running around in disarray at times.
