Seattle Sounders struggle to maintain lead, drop US Open Cup quarterfinal match to LA Galaxy

After a quick start, a rough finish would ultimately be the Seattle Sounders’ undoing in their Lamar Hunt US Open Cup quarterfinal matchup with the LA Galaxy on Wednesday.

Midfielder Michael Farfan gave the Sounders the early lead after he finished a breakaway attempt in just the fourth minute. After conceding an equalizer to LA’s Alan Gordon, the Sounders would then grab the lead again on a 59th-minute tally from forward Herculez Gomez.
