Away from the baseball field they call home, things did not go as well for Seattle Sounders FC 2 as they did last week. They came up against a Swope Park Rangers side with two excellent forwards in Hadji Barry and Kharlton Belmar and a midfield that completed close to 90% of their passes in week one. Coach John Hutchinson broke out a new formation (4-1-4-1 with Dylan Teves as the lone defensive midfielder) to combat the Swope Park attack and accommodate for S2’s lack of healthy DMs. Unfortunately, his plan didn’t work because Teves played too far to the left and Alex Roldan didn’t provide any defensive help on the right side.
