SEATTLE -- When the Seattle Sounders get together with FC Dallas, it’s always a high-intensity occasion, no matter the venue.
Sunday’s match between the sides at CenturyLink Field wasn’t any different.
The game had playoff vibes from the get-go, with Seattle intent on continuing its recent red-hot run of unbeaten matches and FCD looking to show why they’re currently residing at the top of the Western Conference table. The result was a physical, trash-talk-heavy and chippy affair that wasn’t lacking in theatrics even before the teams met at midfield to exchange words and a couple of shoves following the final whistle.
