After a disheartening home loss, the Sounders could have hung their heads on a road trip to Houston, where they’ve historically struggled. Instead, they fought hard and left with a 1-0 win, grabbing a full three points to catapult them back into second place in the conference. Seattle was missing a few starters and came out fairly flat, and other than a couple of chances, looked like they might just concede the match. But some good halftime adjustments got players to where they should be on the field, and a rejuvenated Sounders team did enough to get a goal and protect the lead.
