FRISCO, Texas — The Western Conference semifinal series between the Sounders and FC Dallas isn’t over, as much as it might seem that way.
The two teams will play 90 more minutes on Sunday night at Toyota Stadium. They might even tack on another half-hour, should Dallas manage to score three unanswered goals.
It isn’t over. That’s been the message all week from Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer – interim no longer – and he isn’t, technically, wrong. That he’s taking injured center back Roman Torres to Frisco at all is an indication of how serious Seattle is taking the second-and-final leg of this series.
