Sounders vs. Galaxy, recap: three is better than two

Max Aquino / Sounder at HeartThe Seattle Sounders hit the brakes on the LA Galaxy’s hot start and on their own skid with a performance that was far from perfect but still enough to get their first league win of the season. The two teams went back and forth — the Galaxy took an early lead via a defensive breakdown that allowed Chicharito a straight-forward finish, but the lead only lasted 10 minutes before Jordan Morris equalized. Seattle claimed their first lead of the night in first half stoppage time courtesy of a Fredy Montero penalty. Montero earned the penalty by getting bowled over in the box to finish off a great play that involved a beautiful ball from Albert Rusnák, a good cross from Alex Roldan, and some nice juggling from Montero. LA tied it up again in the 48th minute before Xavier Arreaga put away an excellently worked set piece for the eventual winner in the 72nd.
