The beauty of three-game weeks is that there’s not a lot of time to dwell on results, because another match is right around the corner.
That might not be much consolation for the Seattle Sounders, but after a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to the CF Montreal, they’ll have to take the positives where they can get them. Unfortunately, the bright spots during the match itself were early, and not often.
After a bright start in which the Sounders easily exploited Montreal’s high press, they suddenly couldn’t, and for the remainder of the first half ceded possession to the visitors, couldn't get the ball back and turned it over when they did.
