The Seattle Sounders had a tough return to Major League Soccer (MLS) action on Sunday night, suffering a 2-1 defeat against Atlanta United. The Sounders had been out of action since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the loss was a bitter pill to swallow.
The match started well for Seattle, with forward Jordan Morris scoring in the 13th minute to give them the lead. But Atlanta responded quickly, with goals from Emerson Hyndman and Josef Martinez in the 20th and 25th minutes respectively. The Sounders were unable to find an equalizer, despite a late surge in the second half.
The result was a major disappointment for Seattle, who had been hoping to make a strong return to the MLS after such a long break. However, they will have to pick themselves up and focus on their next match against the Portland Timbers.
The Sounders will be hoping to use the loss as a learning experience, and will be looking to improve their performance in their upcoming matches. They will need to be more clinical in front of goal, and will need to tighten up their defensive play if they are to get back to winning ways.
Overall, it was a difficult night for the Sounders, but they will have to put it behind them and focus on their next match. With a bit of luck and hard work, they should be able to turn things around and get back to winning ways in the MLS.
