There was one glaring oddity in the Seattle Sounders' starting lineup for their CONCACAF Champions League match against Comunicaciones: Terry Boss as goalkeeper. That decision proved particularly questionable early, as the seldom-used goalkeeper badly misplayed a cross that led to a Comunicaciones goal in the 2nd minute.
