Head Coach Brian Schmetzer mentioned during the press conference
“Colorado is a very good team, we cannot afford to give away goals and we are a good team, we are in the first place, we control our own destiny”
Seattle needs to be disciplined tonight, the team needs to come out very concentrated. Let's not forget, they have been a strong team on the road 9-3-2 record. Last game against Houston Dynamo, the sounders gave away two easy goals that cost the 3 points. The Sounders need to play without making easy mistakes. They need to build from the bottom, take advantage of the sides to cross the ball, and look for the attackers to score, play the ball on the ground, which has been an amazing strategy for the team. Seattle can come back home with the win.
Sounders maintain 5 points lead to Sporting KC, who is in second place.
