It wasn’t always pretty, but the Seattle Sounders shook off the rust after a three-week break with a 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy. Seattle came into this match at the top of the Western Conference and leading the Supporters Shield race, still undefeated at 5-0-3, but Galaxy were hosting at Dignity Health Sports Park having won all four of their home games up to that point. The Galaxy took the lead 20 minutes into the match courtesy of a Sacha Kljestan penalty. The call itself was somewhat dubious as João Paulo seemed to do little more than bump Chicharito, but the decision stood and LA were out ahead.
