Seattle’s first playoff match in 2020 saw them up against LAFC, a powerhouse offensive squad that led the league in scoring for most of the year. Both teams were missing some key pieces, but it was the Sounders who showed more class in a comprehensive 3-1 victory. Although many of the stats were close, at times Seattle looked completely in control, nearly scoring three more times. Normally an LAFC strength, the midfield battle was decisively won by the Sounders who dominated between the boxes. LA had opportunities as well, but a solid defense combined with explosive offense put Seattle through to the next round.
Lodeiro gives LAFC fits as Sounders advance.
