TUKWILA, Wash. — Tommy Dutra has watched “The Save” countless times. The Seattle Sounders goalkeeping coach makes a living finding faults in otherwise stellar plays. He looks for elements that could be better, a slightly sharper read of the play, a more efficient use of the goalkeeper’s body, better control of the rebound.
Each time he sees Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei reverse direction, leap to his left and paw Jozy Altidore’s header away from the goal, he fails to find any faults.
As the Sounders prepare to play Toronto FC for the first time since that December day nearly five months ago, the emotions have dulled with time.
