In a game with a little extra weight for midfielder Ozzie Alonso, Minnesota United faced the visiting Seattle Sounders at Allianz Field on Saturday night. Alonso spent the first 10 years of his career with Sounders FC before joining MNUFC this past offseason. Each team took their swings, with MInnesota United holding the slight edge early and Seattle getting the upper hand late. In the end, the result was a likely fair 1-1 draw that saw the teams split the points in front of another sold out crowd.
"I thought it was an excellent game of football. I really did," said Head Coach Adrian Heath.
