Talking Points: A little late, but worth the wait
Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports There were some early frustrations, but in the end the Seattle Sounders got the job done.
When the lineups were revealed about an hour before kickoff, you probably could have forgiven Sounders fans for thinking this game would be over just after kickoff. After all, the Sounders put out a team just shy of full strength. Raul Ruidiaz, Gustav Svensson and Xavier Arreaga all returned to the starting lineup, and Joevin Jones was available off the bench, with only leftback Brad Smith out of the players expected to really play down the stretch.
