In an entertaining and competitive fixture, Minnesota United drew 1-1 with the visiting Seattle Sounders at Allianz Field.
Manager Adrian Heath opted for a 4-3-3 starting formation for the second game in a row, a slight variation from his normal 4-2-3-1. The defensive line, which entered the match on a two-game shutout streak, was unchanged. Eric Miller once again played at left back, a spot he’s likely to occupy for some time after Francisco Calvo’s departure.
Ozzie Alonso wore the captain’s armband again as he faced his longtime club. Miguel Ibarra and Ethan Finlay started on the wings in the only changes to the starting XI, replacing Darwin Quintero and Abu Danladi.
