Will Bruin helps spark offense in first start of season

Leading up to the Seattle Sounders’ away match at LA Galaxy last weekend, questions about their attack were getting louder and more persistent after scoring two goals in three games. The Vancouver game was particular cause for distress as despite racking up a ton of shots, including a handful on goal, the Sounders only scored one goal—through substitute Will Bruin. Many wondered the following week why Bruin had not yet started for the team, as his substitute appearances had been pretty strong, especially in front of goal. He finally made his start against LA, and though he didn’t get on the scoresheet, his style and hard work at forward helped the team seal a massive 3-0 win against the Galaxy.
