After Seattle’s throttling of their previous opponent, LAFC was expected to put up a tougher test, and they did – but it still wasn’t enough against the division-leading Sounders. The 3-0 final score line was appropriate, as an opportunistic Seattle offense looked dangerous when necessary, and the resurgent defensive unit shut down what had been the top scoring offense in the league. The first half saw the Sounders with some great chances through buildup, but LAFC dominated possession in the second half. This defensive group only allowed two shots on goal, both mundane, to keep a deserved clean sheet.
