Not every win has to be pitch perfect. Sometimes you need to win ugly, win lucky, and win gritty. Especially at the end of the season, on the road, and on short rest. After all, 6 points in 4 days is pretty nice.

Winners

Nico Lodeiro

Nico Lodeiro was (as always) integral to Seattle’s attack against Houston, assisting on all three of Seattle’s goals. With the 3rd and final assist of the game, he becomes Seattle’s all time leader in assists passing* Fredy Monterey and Mauro Rosales. His second assist of the night also gave him the Sounders’ single-season record, a record previously held by Rosales.
