Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer lamented the post-match "frustrations" but insisted he would not allow that to be "the story." 

MESSI'S LAST GAME IN ARGENTINA? 'WE’RE GOING TO LIVE IT LIKE THAT'

"Unfortunately, that is going to take some of the attention away from a great performance by the Seattle Sounders," Schmetzer said, via ESPN."Their players were frustrated and that led to some things happening on the field that shouldn't happen on the field.

"I'm going to shut that down, because that shouldn't be the story. The story of the game is not what happened after the game. I had a quiet moment with [Lionel] Mession the field [after the game] and we talked and we tried to push it aside.

"That's the story."
