It took a little longer than anyone would have liked, but the Seattle Sounders finally got their 200th MLS win in history. The Sounders became the fastest team to achieve that milemarker, doing it in seven fewer games than the LA Galaxy. To do it, they needed to come-from-behind in a 3-2 win over the Galaxy, getting goals from Jordan Morris, Fredy Montero and Xavier Arreaga.
