One point in two games. It’s not a blazing pace by any stretch of the imagination — in fact such a clip would virtually assure a last-place finish if extended throughout the year. But after a horrid start to MLS play, history may mark the last two-match stretch as an early turning point for the Seattle Sounders.
For starters, the Sounders showed enough grit to actually look like the better team in the second half against the Montreal Impact despite playing down a man. Though they still failed to get a result, the team’s resolve looked much improved in comparison to their post red-card performance against Dallas.
