Here are the notable notes for Saturday night’s Sounders-Rapids match at CenturyLink Field:
- Ismail Elfath is the referee, Jeremy Hanson and Mike Rottersman are his assistants and Baboucarr Jallow is the fourth official.
- This is Seattle’s final home league match before the league’s two-week, Copa-America-inspired break. The Sounders play their next three games on the road before returning home against New York City FC on June 25.
- Colorado entered the weekend in first place in the Supporters’ Shield standings but has been much more effective at home than on the road.
