It is easy to forget how good Brazil were in the last World Cup, where they lost in the quarter-finals on penalties to a Croatia team whose only shot on goal in the match took a cruel deflection.

As a result, every faceoff, every forecheck, every shot on goal was imbued with extra meaning — whether the players and coach wanted to admit it or not.

Seattle’s two best looks came in in the final 10 minutes, with Jordan Morris escaping defender Emiro Garces in the penalty area and then spinning to put a right-footed shot on goal that Galaxy keeper John McCarthy saved in the 35th minute — four minutes before McCarthy tipped an Albert Rusnak free kick from the edge of the box over the crossbar.

That mistake gave life to the Sounders, who didn’t put a shot on goal from the 39th minute until just before Morris scored in the second extra time.

Van Nistelrooy accepted a first half in which United made "many technical mistakes" and had one shot on goal "wasn’t good", but Amad made the difference after the interval.
