Last week, new Major League Soccer club Seattle Sounders FC won their inaugural game 3-0 in front of a sold out crowd. Last night, they won again, 2-0, in front of another sold out crowd. We were fortunate enough to be able to go to the game last night and had a good time.
We participated in the March to the Match before the game, walking a few blocks to the stadium with a throng of loud fans.
The crowd at the first game was impressively passionate and the crowd tonight didn't disappoint either. It's much more fun to enjoy a game when the crowd is into it. Unfortunately, our section seemed to be less interested than many others.
Real Salt Lake was playing pretty well, but we had more scoring opportunities than them in the first half, and went ahead 1-0. In the second half, Real Salt Lake played better and had quite a few chances. However, Fredy Montero scored his third goal in two games to put us up by 2-0. Celebrating the goals was a lot of fun and it was an exciting game overall.
I can't wait to go to another game and sit in a more passionate section. Hopefully the W's will keep coming, too.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.
