SEATTLE – The Seattle Sounders needed a bounceback effort going into their Thursday evening matchup with the San Jose Earthquakes at CenturyLink Field.
To stay they achieved their objective would be a drastic understatement.
The Sounders didn’t just beat the Quakes on Thursday. They did so in historic fashion, exploding for a club-record seven goals in what eventually ended in a 7-1 rout. It was a dominant showing from start to finish, beginning with Jordan Morris’ fourth-minute charge down the middle and ending with Joevin Jones’ second of the game just before the hour mark.
