Seattle Sounders FC traveled to San Jose to take on the (previously) winless Earthquakes. The match got off to a harrowing start as Raúl Ruidíaz was egregiously scythed down in the box by Nathan. Ruidíaz was lucky to escape without a season-ending injury and the Eartquakes centerback was rightly removed from the match. Nico Lodeiro converted the resulting penalty kick, then assisted on Seattle’s second via a well struck free kick. From there, with San Jose down a man, Seattle comfortably saw out the remainder of the match, and rested key starters in anticipation of the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League Final.
