It wasn’t necessarily the result they wanted, but the Seattle Sounders are in fine position of their Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 matchup after securing a 0-0 tie with FC Motagua in the first leg.
The Sounders had a couple particularly good looks early on with the best an open shot from 10 yards that Albert Rusnák hit wide. On the other side, Motagua nearly scored the opener off a corner kick but had their shot hit the crossbar.
Otherwise, the Sounders seemed mostly content to play for the shutout and will now head home knowing that any win on Thursday will allow them to advance to the CCL quarterfinals.
