Albert Rusnák gave the Seattle Sounders a first-half lead on a well-taken shot, but it wasn't enough to claim all three points in a 1-1 tie on Saturday. The Portland Timbers managed to equalize just six minutes after Rusnák's goal and then sort of packed it in, seemingly satisfied with a point at home. It was the first time the rivals had tied in Portland since June 25, 2017.
