Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Seattle Sounders FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lamine Sane suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kim Keehee, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 53' Another substitution for Seattle Sounders FC to replace Jordan Morris by Handwalla Bwana on 53 minute.
