The Seattle Sounders jumped out to a 3-0 lead for the second game in a row, and for the second straight week they struggled from that point forward. This time, it cost them two points as the Rapids converted two penalties and Darren Yapi scored an equalizer in the 75th minute to cancel out a brace by Albert Rusnák and a goal from Obed Vargas.
