SEATTLE — In a season full of absolutely bizarre matches, it somehow made perfect sense that the Seattle Sounders would beat FC Dallas 4-3 in one of the strangest playoff games in MLS history. The match featured a Jordan Morris hat trick, Raúl Ruidíaz’s first goal in six games, a blown 2-0 Sounders lead, another blow 3-2 lead and finally an extra-time game-winner that was about as fluky as they come.
That’s surely not how the Sounders would have preferred to go through, but they’ll happily refocus their attention on Wednesday’s Western Conference semifinal against the winner of Real Salt Lake-Portland Timbers.
