Three Takeaways: Struggles in front of goal, defensive miscues see Seattle Sounders fall 2-1 to the Chicago Fire

The Seattle Sounders suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire on Tuesday morning at the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, Fla.

Rolling out a rotated lineup, the Rave Green controlled possession for much of the first half, with their intricate passing sequences leading to chances for Shandon Hopeau, Miguel Ibarra and Raúl Ruidíaz. With Chicago content to sit back, soak up pressure and hit on the counter, the Rave Green were made to pay for their inefficiency in front of net in the first half, as a defensive miscue on a long clearance from the Fire led to a breakaway goal for Robert Beriu0107 in the 52nd minute.
