The Seattle Sounders resumed regular-season play with a resounding victory over the rival Portland Timbers. It began a path down different roads for each team.
This Cascadia rivalry is ready for another installment Sunday night in Seattle.
It's always a good time, and usually intense, when these rivals come together. In this case, it's a meeting of two sides seemingly headed in opposite directions.
Seattle (4-1-3) has totaled eight goals while going 2-0-1 since the regular-season resumed last month. The Sounders had won three straight official matches prior to Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake.
