The Seattle Sounders don't seem to be able to catch a break as far as health goes. With Steve Zakuani and O'Brian White already out indefinitely, they received more bad news when Mauro Rosales and Erik Friberg could not suit up for Saturday's match against the Portland Timbers. Now, they'll be playing the second half without another starter: Brad Evans, who has a right groin strain.
Seattle Sounders Vs. Portland Timbers, Halftime: Injuries Continue To Haunt Sounders
Despite being somewhat shorthanded, the Sounders seemed to have the better chances in the first half, although it ended 0-0. The best chance came just before the halftime whistle, when Fredy Montero sent a free kick from about 20 yards out just wide of the goal.
The Timbers did managed to put three shots on goal -- to none for the Sounders -- but none of them really challenged goalkeeper Kasey Keller. The Timbers had four first-half shots and the Sounders ended the half with five.
