After an opening six games in which they’ve managed a lone first half goal, the Sounders plan to use substitute Will Bruin earlier on during their upcoming road contest Sunday against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer wouldn’t say whether Bruin will start or come off the bench, but odds are it’s the former as he looks to jumpstart an attack that’s had chances but failed to put them away. Bruin, a career 50-goal scorer in Houston, has made the most of his limited chances this season with two goals already and several near ones.
