Sounders Tie Real Salt Lake: Match Results

Tie (1 Point)

A lot of press saw Saturdays game as a let down for the Sounders. Yeah Seattle didn’t have the best passing game ever, but what they did do that matters more then anything else in a game was score. What’s even more impressive is that they scored 2 goals against one of the best teams in the MLS.

I would be a lot more worried if the match had ended in a 0-0 tie.

The stats for the game look pretty dismal overall, but the game was tight and really could have gone either way.

Many comments were directed towards the fact that both times RSL scored against the Sounders, the goal scorer was being marked by Brad Evans. I looked at both of the replays and that is correct, but the goals were not 100% his fault. In the first goal he needed to be (a lot) tighter to his mark, but in the second goal, Brad was all over Soborio. Soborio just did a really great job of getting up and getting a head on the ball.
