The Seattle Sounders win once again on the road in 2021! Seattle traveled down to face the San Jose Earthquakes and carried on from their win against Sporting Kansas City with an impressive 3-1 victory on Wednesday.
Raúl Ruidíaz opened the scoring after failing to make anything of a couple early chances, then added a second goal to make up for lost time with a penalty late in the first half. A non-contact apparent hamstring injury at the end of the half ended Ruidíaz’s day, though, and Brian Schmetzer opted to make significant changes at halftime to protect players and keep everyone fresh with another game on Sunday.
