The Sounders defense thwarted all attacks as the Rave Green picked up another 3 points on the road. While that does tend to happen each season, here are some factors that make that a greater feat than usual.
The Sounders are playing away from Century Link as the grass is being set for the approaching World Cup, so they have an extended road trip.
Last season, the Sounders struggled on the road, only winning 5 times.
They picked up a second win this trip without some key players such as Jordan Morris, Pedro de la Vega and Yeimar.
