      Sounders were tired? Puhlease, RSL has had by far the most difficult and congested schedule in MLS to date. They have played 3 more games than the Sounders, they have also had 3 separate “3 games in 8 days” including one this week. If any team in the league has an excuse to be tired, it would be RSL. They came out on the front foot, took the initiative and won the game. Their defense played well and the Sounders couldn’t muster a shot on goal the whole match.
