COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. - Seattle Sounders FC 2 (9-12-8, 35 points) snapped its four-match unbeaten streak with a 2-1 loss at first-place Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC (14-8-7, 49 points) on Saturday evening. The defeat all but eliminates S2 from advancing to its second-consecutive postseason with the season finale at Swope Park Rangers on Saturday, September 24 (5:00 p.m. PT / Live-streamed on SoundersFC.com). Forward Darwin Jones provided the scoring for the Rave Green with a 29th-minute equalizing strike, but the host side reclaimed the lead in the match's waning moments for the 2-1 scoreline.
Seattle goalkeeper Matt Bersano made his first USL start in the contest after earning his first minutes of the season last week at OKC Energy FC in a reserve role.
