Seattle claimed their first MLS victory of the 2022 season last Saturday, successfully defending their home turf of Lumen Field against the Los Angeles Galaxy to win 3-2. Previously undefeated, the Galaxy came out the better team in both halves, dominating and scoring early, and only the veteran tenacity of the battle-tested Sounders enabled them to recover and create chances of their own. A few second-half tactical changes covered for poor form out of the locker room as Seattle surged to the end of the match, scoring late to take all three points.
