If the Seattle Soundlers needed a wakeup call this season, it came to San Diego FC on 5 April.
The sounders were evacuated by hosts San Diego to leave their records 3–0 1-3-3.
Since then, the sounders (6-4-5, 23 digits) have entered the Lumen field 5–1-2 in the rematch on Wednesday night with a tour of San Diego (8–4-3, 27 points).
“Obviously when you play an opponent for a second time, you watch some movies and remind the players,” said Soundlers Coach Brian Shametzer. “To prevent the infection, do not sleep on the pieces of the set in the midfield and (requirement) actively rescue. If you make a mistake they are enough to pay you.”
The sounders defeated FC Dallas 1–0 on Saturday, as Albert Rusakk scored at the penalty kick in the 86th minute, which was his fifth goal in several games.
“Starting on the front foot, setting Tempo as we did against Dallas, we need to do the same thing,” Alex Roldenn said about the Wednesday match, “we need to do the same thing.
San Diego suffered three direct defeats after his victory against Seattle, but retreated 4–0-1 this month. This includes a 2–1 win against Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday, as Hirving “Chaki” Lozano scored the winner in the second half stop time.
San Diego coach Mickey Varas said, “Everyone should focus at this time.” “This is a big moment for the club. These are the moments on which the clubs are made.
Lozano has five goals and six assistance this season. Team’s partner Anders Draer is second in MLS, with seven heads of his team with seven goals.
Shametzer confirmed that the sounders would be without a center back Yimmer Gomez Andrade, who faced a perfect hamstring strain against Dallas and expected to miss for 2-4 weeks.
