Sigh. There is much to unpack from this match, but frankly I’m exhausted from this season with its highs and lows and frustrating finale. The Sounders won 2-1 in regular time, followed by 1-1 in extra time for a 4-4 aggregate score. This led to a shootout, which Seattle lost 4-2. The Sounders completely dominated in stats such as possession (~70 percent) and shots (21-11), but a few key failures on each end of the field let Portland take advantage of their few chances. Ultimately, the Timbers prevailed in the shootout and ended the Sounders’ season.

Frei didn’t have to make a save until the 60th minute.
