Beaten down through injuries and callups, the Seattle Sounders held strong for over 80 minutes on the road against Minnesota United. Bending, bending, bending, the side eventually broke when they gave up a single goal in the 1-0 loss to the Loons, the first ever to Adrian Heath’s side and the first of the season.
The loss ends the unbeaten run at 13 games — all it took was a roster with two hardship callups, a bench that included two goalkeepers, and a Loons side that didn’t significantly threaten goal for the first 85% of the match.
