Coach Adrian Heath said “cheap turnovers” contributed to Minnesota United’s first loss of the season, 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders.
“That's part and parcel of the game. I thought we started too slow and they started well. Our possession was poor in the first half. Two or three of their better opportunities were really cheap turnovers from us, picking the wrong option and possession of the ball,” he told reporters.
Seattle's Jordan Morris ran onto a one-touch pass by Cristian Roldán and raced down the left side before playing a low cross in front of the net that Kallman redirected into the net in the 49th minute to put the Sounders (2-2-1) on top 2-0.
The Sounders also got one goal from Joao Paulo.
