The Sounders got back in the win column against a top Western Conference side in a match where injuries once again tested depth. While the victory wasn’t the near flawless sort of drubbing they pulled off against the likes of Cincinnati and Colorado earlier in the year, it was something of a throwback to the gritty performances that helped them shoot up the table last season. That’s a very good thing as the Sounders are now in the middle of another three game week in which multiple starters will be out with injury.
- Cristian Roldan jump started the game with another long range blast that gave the Sounders the lead five minutes into the match.
