The 10-men Sounders were unable to hold off the Montreal Impact who had a man advantage for over 50 minutes. Kevin Leerdam was sent off in the 40th minute after video review. Replay showed the defender appear to give Daniel Lovitz a slight slap. It may have been a harsh call to give a red but nonetheless, it changed the rhythm of the match.
Jeisson Vargas would score what proved to be the match winner in the 60th minute after Ignacio Piatti cut through the Seattle backline to set the Chilean up.
.@impactmontreal take the lead in Seattle!
