Portland came to Seattle and, as they have done for what seems like a thousand years, conceded possession, defended just well enough, nicked a counterattack goal, and then frustrated a zillion Sounders fans for the rest of the match. The Sounders’ undisciplined defensive posture joined an offense that had poor finishing and some tough luck. The final was 3-0, but not in favor of the team that had 57 percent possession, 16 shots, 87 percent passing accuracy, and and 8-0 corner kick advantage.
If you are like me, this was a sunny weekend in Seattle that featured a nice Reign match and some Defiance dominance.
