Once again, Seattle returned to Lumen Field as arguably the better team (albeit with their share of injuries), and once again they underperformed and lost, this time to the San Jose Earthquakes. In a scenario all too familiar this year, the Sounders blinked once on defense, conceded a goal, and then were unable to finish any of their numerous chances at the other end. San Jose didn’t even register a shot after scoring, bunkering in and daring the home team to break them down. The final was a 1-0 loss, and it illustrates Seattle’s inability to earn points in tough matches.
