TACOMA — It was a crisp beautiful night in the South Sound, a perfect backdrop for a season and venue, opening 2-1 win for Seattle Sounders FC 2 over Portland Timbers 2 behind goals from Feix Chenkham and Nick Hinds. The play wasn’t perfect, but the crowd and the result surpassed any reasonable expectation.
The Supporters Section, located just yards behind the south goal got things started right with a tifo welcoming S2 to Tacoma and some much coveted smoke. Not enough can be said about the 6,000 strong crowd and the support Tacoma will give S2 over the next few years.
