Just when it seemed that the Seattle Sounders’ would buck their trend of avoiding ties, Atlanta United struck just before full-time. Andrew Gutman was allowed to take a wide open shot from about 25 yards out and hit it perfectly, easily beating Stefan Frei and delivering a 2-1 win. It was the Sounders’ fourth straight road defeat and dropped them out of a playoff spot.
