LAFC vs. Sounders: Highlights, stats and quotes
Sounders suffer their worst regular-season defeat in more than two years.
Sporting a lineup without any of their three Designated Players or four most expensive players, the Seattle Sounders suffered their worst regular-season defeat in more than two years. The 3-0 loss also erased the Sounders’ goal-difference advantage and runs their winless streak to a season-worst four games. They’ll try to get right on Monday when they host the LA Galaxy.
