Going on the road on short rest to play the San Jose Earthquakes, a team that Seattle always struggles with, was destined to be a nervy affair. It was exactly that, with poor field conditions adding to a sloppy overall game. Seattle had the best player on the field, and when he had a chance to change the scoreline, new DP Raul Ruidiaz sealed the 1-0 Sounder win. Seattle continues to pick up hugely valuable points on the road and come back to the Pacific Northwest with all three points against a team they have always had trouble with.
