Robert Beriu0107 called it revenge. The Seattle defense might call it a haunting.
In the 52nd minute of Tuesday’s 2-1 Fire win, Beriu0107 ran over defender Zavier Arreaga to collect a lofted ball from Mauricio Pineda at midfield, sent defender Yeimar Gómez spinning with an otherworldly touch into the 18-yard box, and completed a nearly 60-yard run with an expert finish past goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
For the second time in as many matches against the Sounders, the reigning champions were visited by the ghost of MLS future in the form of the Fire’s Slovenian Designated Player.
