For all the success that Seattle Sounders FC 2 have at home, they are the opposite on the road. Saturday night Sacramento Republic FC ran S2 off the field. Injury and an ejection tore open Seattle's midfield. Republic capitalized scoring three times(Vukovic, Lopez, Gabeljic).
Defensive mid Amadou Sanyang left the match with a hamstring issue in the 16th minute. He was replaced by young Duncan McCormick. Giuliano Frano's second yellow in the 65th prevented any hope of pulling back from being down two goals at the time.
With the loss S2 is now 0-3-1 -5 on the road. They've allowed 10 goals in those four matches.
