The Sounders played a midweek match on short rest against a rejuvenated San Jose team and it was quite the rollercoaster. Changing tactics and personnel, Seattle at times looked amazing and at other times struggled with the Earthquakes’ man-marking scheme, creating a match quite unlike any we’ve seen this season. Early on, pushing Nico Lodeiro high gave Seattle a numbers advantage, and they looked poised to run the away team out of the building, but San Jose held on and adjusted, eventually turning the tide and building a two goal lead. Seattle stormed back in a five minute span to even the match and both teams traded a number of chances late before settling for a 2-2 draw.
