It was a big victory for the Seattle Sounders in Matchday 1, with Sunday night's comprehensive 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids. But it came at a cost, with Jordan Morris and Hassani Dotson each exiting with injuries. We'll discuss our biggest takeaways from the match, what we thought of the controversial officiating and more from the opening weekend in Major League Soccer.
