Three days after winning the Concacaf Champions League final, the Seattle Sounders got back to MLS play with a 0-2 loss on the road against FC Dallas. Brian Schmetzer started a heavily rotated lineup that featured only one player who started on Wednesday night against Pumas UNAM, as Nouhou started as the left-sided centerback in a three-back formation after coming out in the 11th minute with a thigh contusion in the final. Despite the rotation and a horrific playing surface, the Sounders looked likely to come away with a result through the first half with a bit of luck on defense and a great look for Leo Chú that went wanting.
