In MLS, the formula for success is win at home and draw on the road. In some instances this doesn't hold true, but a lot of the time, the clubs who consistently achieve great things in this league follow this blueprint.
So when the Houston Dynamo only managed a 1-1 draw at home against the Seattle Sounders despite holding a 1-0 lead for almost an hour, it has to be considered a disappointment. But there are positives to take, and earning a point from a match with Seattle can never be that bad of a result.
