Seattle Sounders struggle to find the back of the net against Portland Timbers.

The Seattle Sounders' frustrations continue to grow as they draw 0-0 against their arch-rivals, the Portland Timbers, leaving them with only four points out of a possible nine in three consecutive home matches. The Sounders have not scored more than one goal in a match in nearly two months, and head coach Brian Schmetzer said that's near the top of the list of things to address. The continued emergence of Léo Chú as an attacking option continues to be a bright spot, but the Sounders' lack of finishing has been impacted by injuries that affected the preferred starting front line.

Seattle Sounders' Depth and Versatility Lead to Road Rewards Against LA Galaxy.

Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer is facing a first-world problem of figuring out how to find enough minutes for his talented group due to their depth and versatility. Despite injuries and international callups, the team has been performing well, with players like Cristian Roldan showcasing their versatility by playing in different positions. Schmetzer has messaged the team about playing for each other and focusing on team goals, even if players historically used to seeing the bulk of the minutes on the field play a little less. Léo Chú, who was bought in for a fee reported to be in excess of $2 million, has been justifying his selection with strong performances and gaining confidence.
