SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders got their first win in over a month as they beat the visiting Houston Dynamo 2-1 on Sunday night. The win, which broke a five-game winless streak, came in the most unlikely of fashion. After going down a goal, the Sounders’ comeback featured a Nouhou goal and assist, as well as a Nico Lodeiro missed penalty.
Despite some promising play in the opening stages of the game, Seattle found themselves in a frustratingly familiar position as they trailed after a somewhat flukey opening goal for Houston. Stefan Frei punched away a corner kick, but the attempted clearance only went as far as Houston’s Adalberto Carrasquilla at the top of the box.
