Seattle played a home match against the Colorado Rapids and immediately got on the wrong foot, conceding in the 3rd minute, as another defensive rotation took time to gel. Refusing to fold, Seattle was the better team for the remainder of the match, even playing a man down after a second foolish red card in three matches. (Four matches? Losses all feel the same.) The Sounders found a goal right before half time and forced a 71st minute penalty kick that was converted for a deserved 2-1 win, breaking their losing streak and offering some momentum as they leave home.
