There are few locations where the Seattle Sounders have a worse history than in Sandy, Utah. The Sounders have only won one regular-season match there, and that was back in 2011. Even including playoff games, they’ve only won there twice and they’ve failed to so much as secure a point there in an MLS match since 2012 (they did, however, win a penalty shootout in Utah during the 2016 U.S. Open Cup). Suffice it to say, this is not the ideal place for them to be playing a match during this frustrating run of form.
