The Seattle Sounders added another pelt to their wall of broken unbeaten records. Their 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls stopped what was one of the longest streaks in league history, a stretch of 18 unbeaten. The Red Bulls’ last regular-season loss was on July 3, 2016 against New York City FC.
This was the fourth lengthy unbeaten run the Sounders have stopped in the past year alone. The Sounders broke Orland City’s 17-game home unbeaten streak on Aug. 7, 2016; stopped the LA Galaxy’s 15-game home unbeaten run on Sept.
