It all seems to be coming up Sounders these days. Their 2-0 win over LAFC on Sunday completed a rare nine-point week and gives them 16 points through six games, tying a franchise record for best-ever start. A win over Atlanta United on Sunday — which will be played in front of the biggest crowd since last March — would set a new standard.
This one saw Xavier Arreaga score his first goal since joining the Sounders in 2019 and Brad Smith bag his third goal of the year, effectively tripling his career output up until now.
