The conditions for the 2022 MLS season opener may have been straight from the Seattle Sounders’ playbook, but it was Nashville SC who basked in the “Seattle Sunshine” at the end of 90 minutes at Lumen Field. From the opening minutes, Nashville showed they were up for the fight, strategically pressing the Sounders into turnovers. And while they didn’t create a ton of opportunities, they certainly kept the Sounders from doing much to start the game.
The Sounders got back into the game after the shaky start, and by the second half, they were by and large in control of the game.
