Last year I assumed Seattle would run over RSL at home but the Sounders lost. For some reason that team is always well set up to play in Seattle, and Saturday evening was no different. Although the Sounders seemed the better team and created more opportunities, RSL nearly scored an equalizer on one of their few quality chances. The 1-0 win for Seattle wasn’t always pretty, but that’s the third shutout in five matches. With the lowest goals-against in the league, it looks like Seattle can count on their defense to keep them in every match and they are creating enough chances to outscore their opponents so far this season.
