Seasons are full of potentially momentum-shifting moments. Each match presents an opportunity to be a fulcrum for change.
Sometimes, you can’t really know it’s happened until weeks later. Others, you can feel it coming for weeks.
Tonight’s match between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers feels like it is destined to be one of those matches.
The Sounders’ current slide, as you probably know, started with a loss to the Timbers a little more than a month ago. The Sounders had come into the game seemingly ready to take off, coming off consecutive wins, including an impressive display against Atlanta United a few days prior to the Timbers game.
