Playing at CenturyLink Field in front of a massive crowd was nothing short of routine for Former Sounder and 2016 MLS Cup Champion Tyrone Mears, but this time he was sporting red and black stripes and playing against the rowdy fan base in Friday night’s scoreless draw between Atlanta United and Seattle Sounders.
“I spoke to the guys before. We know how important the fans are for Seattle,” said Mears. “We knew it was going to be difficult coming to the champions. We would have to dig in at some point. But we are happy with the performance and a clean sheet for the back four.
