Sounders vs. Toronto FC, recap: Controversial penalty, ineffective offense combine for frustrating result

SEATTLE — In a game set up perfectly for the Seattle Sounders to get their season back on track, they instead turned in one of their most frustrating performances of the Brian Schmetzer era. With Toronto FC missing four starters, the Sounders fell 1-0 despite once again dominating possession. The loss ended a 14-game home unbeaten run, all but one of which came under Schmetzer.

The performance featured an early Jordan Morris goal disallowed for offside on a player who didn’t actually touch the ball — although arguably affected the play — and a penalty given to Jozy Altidore that, at the very least, seemed awfully soft.
