A rather desperate Sounders team looking to avoid the worst start in franchise history had sent out a young brother combination in hopes of generating some type of spark.
Having Cristian Roldan in the defensive midfield Sunday at Sporting Kansas City was a given, but the addition of his younger brother, Alex, on left wing for his first Major League Soccer start was certainly not. The Roldan brothers would combine for a go-ahead second half goal in what ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw with Sporting Kansas City and a long-awaited first point of the season for the Rave Green.
