Galaxy vs. Sounders: Highlights, stats and quotes

The Seattle Sounders ran their season-opening winless streak to five games, falling 1-0 to the LA Galaxy. With two points through five games, the Sounders also tied their 2013 start for the worst in franchise history. The game’s only goal came in the 4th minute off a Gabriel Pec shot. The Sounders had several good looks at an equalizer, with Jordan Morris’ shot from near the penalty spot in the 90th minute probably being their best.
