Playing one of the best teams in the league on short rest, the Sounders promptly came out and throttled the Colorado Rapids. Seattle scored in the first five minutes and twice more by half, riding this 3-0 halftime score to the end of the match. The second half was a testy affair, lowlighted by a red card for the Rapids, who played physically, were clearly off balance, and had few answers for the superior Sounders’ technical skill. Smart subs rested key players, and Seattle kept the clean sheet and opened another lead in the conference.
