SEATTLE – Víctor Rodríguez and Lamar Neagle had a goal apiece, Will Bruin added a second-half brace and the Seattle Sounders trounced Western Conference rival FC Dallas 4-0 at CenturyLink Field on Sunday, punching their ticket to the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs in the process.
Rodríguez opened the scoring in the 31st minute after Clint Dempsey threaded him through with a perfect feed on a counterattack. The Spaniard made no mistake with the finish, lofting his shot past FCD goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez and into the net to give Seattle the 1-0 lead that they would take into halftime.
