A Sounders team praying for July before the calendar even turns to June once again failed to score in front of the hometown faithful.
This time, though, a Saturday skunking by Real Salt Lake proved costly as the visitors managed a second-half goal by Sebastian Sauncedo on one of their few offensive challenges. That was enough to seal a 1-0 loss for a depleted Sounders side desperately waiting for expected July reinforcements once the FIFA World Cup ends and the summer transfer window opens.
For now, the 2-6-2 team has been held scoreless for 216 minutes overall and the last 180 minutes played at CenturyLink Field.
