Results-wise, things have been looking up for Sounders FC 2. After a back-and-forth 3-2 victory against Arizona United SC, the Rave Green now sit at 12th place in the Western Conference. They’ve won their past two games; they are now 3 points out of a playoff spot.
The Sounders started energetically in today’s 100º match, notching the first tally in the 25th minute. Midfielder Zach Mathers sent a slicing ball from his own half to Darwin Jones and past Arizona’s backline: Jones finished with a punt of a kick right into the back netting. Arizona quickly equalized (after having stripped the ball from Jordan Schweitzer), and a few minutes later pulled in front after once again stealing the ball from S2’s midfield.
