Coming off a rough week in which the Seattle Sounders claimed just two points in three games despite playing twice at home, there was a growing sense of unease around the club. While the result against Minnesota United probably won’t suddenly make any restless sleepers slumber through the night, I think we at least saw how much it helps to get a few key contributors back into the lineup.
Neither Chad Marshall nor Víctor Rodríguez were at their very best in this game, but just having them on the field seemed to help bring a degree of order to the Sounders on both sides of the ball.
