Spurred on by a winning start to the regular season against the Chicago Fire, the Seattle Sounders were looking to continue with a similar outcome on Saturday. Unfortunately for the home side, Columbus Crew had other ideas.
Columbus had enjoyed a winning start themselves with an impressive 1-0 victory against a New York City FC side which won the Eastern Conference last year. The signs were already there that the Rave Green wouldn’t have it all their own way, despite playing at home.
In the end, fans and media alike were treated to an intriguing game, with lots of talking points.
