Seattle Sounders clinch 10th straight playoff trip with win over Orlando City

After another slow start to the season the Seattle Sounders have found their way back into the MLS playoffs.

Seattle punched their playoff ticket with a 2-1 win over Orlando City on Wednesday, scoring twice inside the first 15 minutes to blow the game open and holding on as Orlando City made a late push.

Two sloppy bits of defense from the home side let the Sounders jump out in front, with Víctor Rodríguez left unmarked top loft a floated ball over Orlando goalkeeper Adam Grinwis to open the scoring just over two minutes into the match.
