It’s not the commanding lead that they would have preferred, but the Seattle Sounders will at least take a lead into Commerce City, Colo. despite falling behind early.
Showing the resilience that has become a hallmark under head coach Brian Schmetzer, the Sounders erased the Colorado Rapids’ 1-0 lead with goals from Jordan Morris and Nicolas Lodeiro. The second leg of the Western Conference finals will be played on Sunday at altitude.
The Rapids got on the board first on a bit of an awkward play. Jones opened up the play with a ball that Roman Torres seemed to have a decent shot at getting to first.
