Frank Lampard and Roland Matarrita were the goal-scorers as New York City FC defeated the Sounders 2-0 in front of 47,537 on Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field.

Frank Lampard and Roland Matarrita were the goal-scorers as New York City FC defeated the Sounders 2-0 in front of 47,537 on Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field.

The loss dropped Seattle to 5-9-1 and was its fifth in six league games — four of which have come by shutout.

These are my first impressions:

– The ball probably did hit Lampard’s arm, and referee Alan Kelly still made the right call.
