19’ - Gashi pinged a ball off Jermaine’s back, Lodeiro led a break, Gashi fouled him, on we go. Appropriate microcosm so far.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/27/2016 9:38:31 PM -
20’ - Lodeiro’s FK is cleared out. The Rapids defend set pieces like… something that defends something real well.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/27/2016 9:40:10 PM

#Sounders Lodeiro already milking the clock, 22' in. #Rapids96 Marc Burch was not a fan in leg one. dpo.st/2gFlQtm #COLvSEAby Daniel Boniface via twitter 11/27/2016 9:41:05 PM -

23’ Huge chance! @KevinDoyle1983 sends the ball across the six but can't find @SebastienLeToux . 0-0

23’ - Oh boy, near miss from Colorado. Kevin Doyle gets a clean cross off but nobody’s inside the 6-yard box to greet it.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/27/2016 9:42:43 PM

And now Frei gives up a cheap corner kick. Sounders passing has been a mess in defenseby Matt Pentz via twitter 11/27/2016 9:43:23 PM

Jones flicks the resulting corner just over the crossbar with Frei out of position. Sounders surviveby Matt Pentz via twitter 11/27/2016 9:43:55 PM

25’ - OH MAN. Stef Frei palms out a corner in traffic and Jermaine Jones’ half-volley is just inches high. (Frei was being held).by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/27/2016 9:44:29 PM

Roman Torres looks all kinds of uncomfortable with the high Rapids pressby Matt Pentz via twitter 11/27/2016 9:45:08 PM

Seattle literally can't get the ball into the attacking third. Worse than the Sporting game so far. #COLvSEA http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyTMYpqUcAALkzC.jpg

27’ #Rapids96 finding lots of space down the flanks so far in the first half. This time it's @emillller with the cross. 0-0

In the first half hour, grand total of two Sounders averaging touches inside Colorado’s half (and barely). The Rapids, meanwhile... http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyTNHLLUsAAb-SG.jpg">http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyTNHLMVQAA5Kx0.jpg

Morris does not look right. Hands on hips during stoppages in play, walking without the ball instead of looking for runsby Matt Pentz via twitter 11/27/2016 9:48:56 PM

30’ - Sounders staring at 38% possession and a really sparse touch map in Colorado’s half after 30 minutes. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyTNrAqUUAAZyMd.jpg
