Seattle lost narrowly to Botafogo 2-1 in their tournament opener, an affair that was a game of two halves. The Sounders arguably deserved a point for their second-half response after falling 2-0 behind, but in the end, they were left lacking a bit of finishing composure as striker Jordan Morris remains out.

The Seattle Sounders will continue the uphill climb of advancing out of Group B at the Club World Cup on Thursday, taking on an Atletico Madrid side that will be equally eager to pick up a win after both sides lost their opening matches of the Club World Cup.
