Lineups

Hello, Azira.

First Half Highlights

Somehow, this wasn’t yellow card.

18’ - Goal, Sounders! A fortunate deflection on Victor Rodriguez’s pass falls kindly to Will Bruin.

Yannick Boli gets a yellow card for this foul on Jordy Delem. The challenge goes to video review as the studs were up, but the call stands.

Second Half Highlights

Goal, Sounders! Cristian Roldan bodies Gashi off the ball, and Rodriguez sends a perfect chip to Bruin. 2-1 Seattle!

Too close! Thank you, Stefan Frei.

FINAL: Seattle Sounders: 2 - Colorado Rapids: 1
