It could have been 6-0
It's early season in MLS, and that means we get early-season outcomes. Real Salt Lake could easily have shipped six goals on the night, with Seattle generating a multitude of good opportunities. Zac MacMath kept the scoreline from looking even worse, but RSL will still need some introspection after the match.
Time after time, gaps were exploited in RSL's backline and midfield, and especially in the spaces between the two. We saw miscommunication across the back line, particularly between Andrew Brody and Justen Glad. The first Seattle goal saw that, with Brody and Glad failing to properly mark Jordan Morris. Of course, that position only came about because of some truly horrid wide defending on RSL's part, with Alex Roldan swinging in a cross with acres of space.
