The Seattle Sounders may have left it late to pick up three points against Real Salt Lake, but the win was fully deserved after a dominant performance.
Seattle did a much better job of controlling possession and they converted their 55-percent possession into 16 shot attempts, with six of them on target. Instrumental to the improved attacking output was the penetrating attacking movement from midfield by Cristian Roldan. He was a constant threat in the first half and is a constant threat when his brother, Alex, occupies the full back and forces the center back to pick up Cristian.
