This was a tough game, as once again the Seattle Sounders came out a bit flat and had an early red card that derailed an overall good effort. The 0-1 final score in the loss to the Montreal Impact highlighted many of the negatives so far on the season: player control issues, lack of finishing, and a continued inability to get multiple creative pieces on the field at the same time. While the result was disappointing, the second-half play showed a resilience and quality that belies the scoreline, as Seattle thoroughly dominated despite playing a man down.
