The Seattle Sounders, coming off of their loss to Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, made the trip down to face the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night in the US Open Cup. Although the game was largely even between the 18s, the Galaxy came out on top as they beat Seattle 3-1 to advance to the Round of 16.
Greg Vanney ran out a strong lineup, featuring Chicharito, Riqui Puig, and several other players who have been regular starters for the LA Galaxy this season. Despite a very early golazo for the Galaxy, the Sounders found themselves with several chances to level the game as Fredy Montero had a particularly good effort cleared off the line.
