Another Reserve crowd that will beat many MLS games for attendance this year when the Portland Timbers host the Seattle Sounders Reserves. While the Portland Timbers are starting a DP and Mike Fucito up front, the Sounders will start Sammy Ochoa and Morris. In fact Seattle's starters includes three Four Academy players.
Seattle: Ford; Seamon, Scott (c), Steres, Beck; Cato, Carrasco, McCormick, Prado-Huerta; Morris, Ochoa
Bench: Meredith, Dismuke, Estrada, Burch, Caskey
Timbers: Gleeson; Hogg, Danso, Brunner (c), Kawulok; Alexander, Alhassan, Richards; Rincon, Boyd, Fucito
Bench: North, Renken, Valencia, Vickers, Desir, Gonzalez, Morfin
Valencia is their 2013 Youth DP who is recovering from an injury. David Estrada is on his path to recovery, while the Sounders are clearly using their depth as they get ready for their match against Marathon in the CCL this week. It will be intriguing to see how the young Sounders do.
The Timbers are kind enough to be streaming this match.
