By now, the statistical oddity that is the Seattle Sounders’ streak without conceding a goal from the run of play has been written about ad nauseam. And when a team has let in a paltry five goals in 10 games, a lot of ink will be rightly spilled about the feat. That said, it doesn’t mean the Sounders have been perfect on the pitch.
Namely, they’ve had an early penchant for conceding goals from the spot. The Sounders have been called for a league-high four penalties and conceded a league-worst three goals from the spot.
