Seattle Sounders continued their return to MLS dominance, again starting their preferred players and again winning. Even on short rest and in some adverse weather, the Sounders had enough quality to create when it counted, and a valiant defensive effort earned a shutout. The game ended 1-0 for Seattle, with both teams playing down a man when two players received second yellows and were sent off. Although clearly running out of steam late, Seattle held on for their second consecutive league win as they charge up the standings.
Frei and Co. solid in shutout victory.
