The Seattle Sounders coach was celebrating his anniversary and wore his wedding day suit to honor the occasion.
The Sounders claimed a 2-1 road win over the LA Galaxy with Ruidiaz, who didn’t get called up by Peru for Copa America after featuring during World Cup qualifying, scoring the decisive goal early in the second half.
Schmetzer said the Sounders utilized the same game plan against Chicharito as they did in a 3-0 win at Lumen Field on May 2 — deny the Mexican legend service.
So yes, he’s growing, he’s a good young goalkeeper, good reactions, good saves, but what I liked was his mentality to manage the game.
“It’s a great coaching staff, changing the formation, getting the players to believe in that formation, getting them to execute that formation,” said Schmetzer, who also lauded the play of 21-year-old Abdoulaye Cissoko, filling in for the injured Nouhou.
