Seattle Sounders hoping to make Santa Tecla “feel our crowd” to right CONCACAF Champions League deficit

SANTA TECLA, El Salvador — The Seattle Sounders have everything to play for in the return leg of their Round of 16 match against Santa Tecla FC in CONCACAF Champions League.

After falling 2-1 at Estadio Las Delicias on Thursday, Seattle will welcome the Salvadoran champions to CenturyLink Field on March 1. Playing without some big names in Clint Dempsey, Román Torres, Ozzie Alonso, Kelvin Leerdam, Víctor Rodríguez and Magnus Wolff Eikrem, the Sounders took a 1-0 lead into halftime before succumbing to two goals in a 10-minute span in the second half.
