The Seattle Sounders fell into an 0-1 hole in their MLS Cup Playoffs First Round series against Minnesota United on Monday night, losing 0-0 (3-2) despite generating a wealth of opportunities and playing near-perfect transition defense. With Game 2 looming on November 3 as an elimination match, the Sounders will need to take the good with the bad to extend their season as the sting of Game 1 wears off.
