Seattle, desperately needing a home field win, failed to get that, instead falling 2-1 to visiting RSL in a game they appeared to dominate. Seventy percent possession, 16 shots, and a 7-0 advantage in corner kicks. Instead of turning those great stats into a statement win, earning momentum to finish out the year strong, a combination of a defense that inexplicably falls asleep at inopportune times and an offense that never wakes up created another depressing loss as the Sounders struggle to stay relevant in the playoff hunt.
Sounders continue to evade playoff spots.
