Although the Seattle Sounders officially opened their preseason schedule with a scoreless tie against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday, there were plenty of promising moments in the match. Many of those were provided by Sam Adeniran, who played for the Tacoma Defiance last year.
Adeniran came into the match in the 62nd minute but repeatedly found joy along the left channel where he was able to get off several shots and had one particularly promising cross that produced the best scoring chance for either team.
Based on the highlights, it looks like the two teams played reasonably even while the starters were in but the Sounders seized control after halftime.
