I didn't see the game so I don't know the circumstances, but it looks like a classic counter-attack goal. Very good skill to take it on the half-volley and lash it into the far upright, but where the hell was the fullback? I know RSL aren't crazy enough to play a 3-5-2 formation, so the FB must have been on an overlap and couldn't track back. The CB got pulled out to cover for his non-existent FB, and they got burned by it. If they're in a 4-3-3, wouldn't the RM drop back to cover?

In fact, WHY IS RSL JOGGING BACK IN A PLAYOFF GAME WTF.

I would add, though, I love the Sounders more than the Galaxy. Home Depot Center has NOTHING on the noise CenturyLink comes up with during the Northwest games.
