Seattle Sounders FC (5-0-3, 18 points) and Austin FC (2-4-1, 7 points) played to a scoreless draw on Sunday night at Lumen Field. With a home point, Seattle maintains its hold on both the Supporters’ Shield race and the Western Conference standings heading into the June international break. With five wins and three draws to begin the season, Seattle has not lost in 2021, and the club has conceded just three goals in its opening eight matches.
The Rave Green looked to have broken the deadlock in the 75th minute of play, as João Paulo picked up a loose ball and weaved through Austin’s defense, knocking the ball onto Raúl Ruidíaz.
