Don’t question whether the Sounders want to be in the playoffs.
Instead, review its goals against the New York Red Bulls. Actually, just the one where forward Jordan Morris sprinted downfield and then dove to connect his head with a cross from teammate Cristian Roldan. Morris then skillfully whipped his head to pinpoint the pass to Nico Lodeiro, the latter knocking the ball into the net in the 23rd minute.
Without Morris’ effort, Seattle might be grappling with a draw when it needed a win Sunday for MLS postseason positioning. Instead, any head-scratching is in regard to how Morris flung his body to keep the ball in play, helping secure a 4-2 win at CenturyLink Field.
