TUKWILA, Wash. – Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris became one of the most-anticipated Homegrown signings in MLS history mainly due to his propensity for scoring goals.
But he didn’t need to score any in order to register arguably his best all-around game as a pro in Seattle’s 3-1 romp over Orlando City FC at Camping World Stadium on Sunday – a development that could prove scary for opposing MLS defenses should it become a recurring trend.
Morris was all over the place throughout Sunday’s match, notching assists on two of teammate Clint Dempsey’s three goals – a total that could very easily have jumped to four if not for two near misses from Nelson Valdez and Alvaro Fernandez that each clanged off the goalpost.
