The Seattle Sounders exploded for three second-half goals, riding a brace from rookie forward Jordan Morris and a gorgeous distance strike from midfielder Osvaldo Alonso to a resounding 4-2 romp over the Los Angeles Galaxy at the StubHub Center on Sunday.
The goals for Morris, his 11th and 12th of the season, gave the Homegrown star the MLS rookie record for an American-born player. He also leads MLS in game-winning goals this season (6).
Alonso added the insurance in the 78th, smashing home the long-range golazo after the ball took a deflection off referee Armando Villareal, giving the Sounders the victory that moved them to 11-13-5 and 38 points on the season, keeping the Rave Green squarely in the midst of the Western Conference playoff hunt.
