For just the second time this season, the Seattle Sounders (11-7-5) dropped a match at home.
Last time, the defeat was at the hands of Seattle’s Northwest rivals, the Portland Timbers.
However, this time, this defeat, well, the sting was a little more bitter as it was given to the Sounders by Sporting Kansas City (7-9-7), which is ranked eight spots below the Sounders in the Western Conference.
Sporting K.C. defeated the Sounders, 3-2, for the second time this season, marking its first victory at CenturyLink Field and its first regular-season sweep over Seattle since 2016.
