SEATTLE — Nobody likes a party crasher.
Unfortunately for the Seattle Sounders, uninvited guests are making a habit of coming into Lumen Field, making a mess, and leaving with all of the unopened bottles of the good wine. For the fourth game in a row, an opponent has come in and left with a result, even worse this time because it was the Portland Timbers who made themselves at home on Seattle’s turf, blanking the Sounders 2-0. The Sounders’ haven’t beaten the Timbers at home during the regular season since 2017, a stretch that’s now five games long.
