Sounders at San Jose, recap: California capitulation

The Seattle Sounders traveled to face the San Jose Earthquakes in what looked like a potentially catalyzing road win for the first hour or so. The final half-hour, though, proved to be a different story as the Sounders gave up three unanswered goals to lose 4-3 on Saturday. It was their first-ever loss in a game they led by at least two goals.

The Sounders opened the game well, earning a penalty in the 10th minute that Nico Lodeiro finished as you’d expect, then doubling the lead in the 20th on an excellent free kick from Lodeiro that Cristian Roldan headed home.
