Back in his favored forward position, Jordan Morris was able to get the Sounders a needed win headed into the MLS All-Star break.
Morris, who has played on the right wing this season, was up top when he snagged a poorly defended ball by Houston and flicked a right-footed shot into the net in the 59th minute. Dynamo defender Maynor Figueroa was caught watching the ball slowly cross the goal line, and Seattle went on to a 1-0 win Saturday night at BBVA Stadium.
It was Morris’ fifth goal of the season.
Morris was moved to the forward slot due to Raul Ruidiaz suffering a concussion in the loss against Portland at CenturyLink Field last week.
