Clint Dempsey scored a pair of goals, including a highly controversial one, but it was not enough to overcome an uneven Sounders performance in a 3-2 loss to the Crew.
Clint Dempsey scored a beauty of a goal. Dempsey then netted an extremely controversial finish. But because the man called Deuce only scored two and not three, the Sounders fell in Columbus to the Crew, 3-2, snapping a three-game win streak.
Dempsey’s goals were the highlights of an uneven performance for the Sounders, who were outplayed for most of the game before roaring back in the final 20 minutes, only to fall short.
