The Seattle Sounders went on the road for the first time in the young MLS season to face FC Cincinnati. Despite a few chances, the Sounders fell 1-0 in their first trip to Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium.
The first half ended scoreless, with both teams getting good looks. Morris created the first chance of the game in the 2nd minute with a run behind the defense down the left, but Fredy Montero’s shot off of a feed from Morris was hit soft and wide. Morris had a great look of his own almost 15 minutes later on an empty net after beating Roman Celentano to a ball outside the box, but his went wide as well.
