Back-to-back: Sounders win again

SEATTLE – The Seattle Sounders made it two wins in a row in the span of three days with a 3–1 home victory over Minnesota United. Minnesota got their consolation from Anthony Markanich (57’), but goals from Jordan Morris (16’), Hassani Dotson (35’), and Paul Arriola (83’) more than offset that as the Sounders moved into a playoff spot for the first time since mid-August. Minnesota started the game putting the Sounders under tons of pressure, earning a corner and generating a potentially danger...

Sounders vs. Minnesota United: Gamethread

Fresh off their first win in more than four months, the Seattle Sounders will now be attempting to extend their unbeaten streak to a season-long seven games when they face struggling Minnesota United today.

That stretch includes a 5–1 win, a 3–3 tie, a 5–4 loss and 3–2 loss in which they blew a 2–0 lead. Their struggles actually stretch back t...

Postgame Pontifications: Finally, some belief

SEATTLE — Rarely have the Seattle Sounders ever needed a win as badly as they did on Wednesday. Riding a interminable 13-game winless streak in league play, facing the one team who had fewer points since the end of the World Cup break, and playing one of the two games in hand they have on most of the league, this was perhaps their last chance to show their playoff aspirations still had any reasonable life. That the Sounders ultimately delivered a 2–0 win over Real Salt Lake does not mean their...

Sounders Earn First MLS Win in Four Months; Returners Shine

SEATTLE, Wash — Keeper Andrew Thomas could only watch as center back Jackson Ragen let a clear Real Salt Lake ball find striker Sergi Solans' feet on a sudden breakaway chance for the visitors. Offensive chances had come few and far between for the Seattle Sounders and their visitors on Wednesday night, with the game still scoreless in the 47th minute. As Solans, scorer of nine goals this season, strode past Ragen, Thomas loaded his legs and prepared to try and stop the striker. Solans ...

Second-half goals from Danny Musovski (48’) and Albert Rusnák (73’), and Andrew Thomas’ seventh clean sheet of the season secured the result for Seattle to end the winless run. The first half was about as dull as a half of soccer could be. With both sides playing rotated sides, the Sounders managed to generate some good chances — Paul Arriola had a couple of good looks, including one that ...
