In the fourth episode of “Winging it with Zakuani,” Steve Zakuani dissects the club's CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal win vs. Chivas de Guadalajara (00:34), answers listener questions in the #AskZak Q&A segment (06:55) and looks ahead to Leg Two in Guadalajara alongside ex-Chivas great and current Sounders assistant coach Gonzalo Pineda (11:34).



“For the Sounders, the coaching staff got it right,” Zakuani said in reference to the Rave Green's 1-0 CCL win over Chivas. “Forget how [Chivas is] doing in the league right now, in the first 20 minutes, I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit nervous because Chivas were popping the ball, pinging it and I'm like, ‘I’ve seen this before, I’ve been on the pitch against these teams chasing the ball.’ But, Seattle hung in there, came back and really at the end of the 90 minutes should have won two- or maybe three-nil.”


Zakuani culminates Episode 4 with his “3 Big Things” segment at the 23:51 mark of the podcast.
