The Seattle Sounders will head into the first international break with mixed feelings. On one hand, they managed a tie while playing on short rest against a team that had scored 10 goals in its first two home games. On the other, they had a 1-0 lead at halftime and probably should have scored another. In the end, it’s not a bad result and gives the Sounders something to build on during his bye week.
