Two was an unlucky number for the Sounders on Saturday.
The Sounders waded through a two-hour weather delay to give up two own goals in a 2-1 loss to FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium. It’s the first time the Sounders have given up multiple own goals in a game.
Kickoff was pushed back due to thunderstorms in the Dallas metro area. It was still raining during parts of the opening half, but the field wasn’t described as slick or sloppy, according to players.
In the 33rd minute, Sounders defender Xavier Arreaga jumped into the air to clear a Ryan Hollingshead header, instead flicking the ball into the Sounders goal with his own header.
