TUKWILA — Thrown water bottles, rescinded goals, livid fans.
Wednesday’s typical routine of viewing MLS games after training was drama-filled for Sounders FC midfielder Cristian Roldan this week.
The nightcap featured the San Jose Earthquakes, who’ll host Seattle on Sunday. Roldan tuned in to scout, texting teammate and close friend Jordan Morris, but was swept into the moment as the San Jose loss to the Philadelphia Union put Seattle in the postseason.
The Earthquakes looked to build a 2-0 lead early in the second half, but the goal was waved off after video review and later in the match referee Baldomero Toledo overturned a penalty in the box where the Quakes could’ve equalized.
