The Sounders hosted Club Deportivo Guadalajara last Wednesday night and showed that the loss to LAFC was in the rear view mirror. This team, with a few different players, not only held its own against the Mexican opponent but arguably dominated for long stretches of the game, eventually earning a 1-0 home win. Seattle showed it’s a good, deep team with the usual standouts playing great and some new pieces showing this team has reloaded well in the offseason.
Goalkeeper
Stefan Frei – 9 (MOTM) | Community – 8.3 (MOTM)
I had zero negative marks for Frei — he did everything right and was a huge reason that Seattle heads into the second leg with a lead and shutout.
