Sporting Kansas City — a very good team — came into the Clink last weekend and left just like everyone else lately: handily beat 3-1. Seattle took control of the middle of the game and earned the full three points from a team higher in the standings. At times it wasn’t pretty, and SKC had the better of the early game, but after Seattle took control early in the second half they leveraged a positive game state into a fairly smooth match, only forced into some nervy late moments due to some questionable refereeing.

Giving up a single goal to a team as talented as SKC is an accomplishment, and Frei held them scoreless for the final 95 minutes of the match.
