In a vacuum, going to Minnesota United and coming away with a single point is not a bad result. But on the heels of a frustrating run of games, the 1-1 tie with Minnesota United feels a bit like an opportunity missed.
Minnesota United came out looking like the better team and Ike Opara’s 26th minute goal gave them a just lead. But from that point forward, the Sounders were the better team and generated the better chances. Cristian Roldan’s 30-yard blast in the 42nd minute was the equalizer, and both Will Bruin and Nicolás Lodeiro hit headers off the post in the 81st minute.
