The Seattle Sounders hosted Minnesota United on Sunday with their first chance to shake off the funk that has followed since the team won the Concacaf Champions League final. Despite falling behind 34 minutes into the game, the Sounders came back to win 3-1.
Seattle created plenty of chances in the opening 45 minutes, but for all of the near misses and close looks the finishing touch was missing. Instead it was Minnesota who managed to find that final bit of quality just over half an hour into the game when Nouhou attempted to trap the ball in the penalty area, only to have it roll through his legs to an eagerly waiting Robin Lod.
