SEATTLE — All good things must come to an end.
The Philadelphia Union defeated the Seattle Sounders 1-0 on Wednesday evening on a stoppage-time goal from Fafa Picault. The loss snapped the Sounders’ MLS-record nine-match winning streak that began on July 21.
“We’re very proud of what this team has accomplished,” said Head Coach Brian Schmetzer. “We put ourselves in a massive hole, and we’ve climbed out of it. There’s still work to do, but winning nine games in a row is an accomplishment that was a big one. We all knew it was going to end at some point, we all knew.
