Sounders vs. Galaxy, recap: three is better than two

The Seattle Sounders hit the brakes on the LA Galaxy’s hot start and on their own skid with a performance that was far from perfect but still enough to get their first league win of the season. The two teams went back and forth — the Galaxy took an early lead via a defensive breakdown that allowed Chicharito a straight-forward finish, but the lead only lasted 10 minutes before Jordan Morris equalized. Seattle claimed their first lead of the night in first half stoppage time courtesy of a Fredy Montero penalty. Montero earned the penalty by getting bowled over in the box to finish off a great play that involved a beautiful ball from Albert Rusnák, a good cross from Alex Roldan, and some nice juggling from Montero.
