There were many bright sides to the Seattle Sounders’ 3-1 win over New York City FC Sunday. One of the unexpected upturns from the club, however, was the play of midfielder Harry Shipp, who smashed in a late goal to put the game out of doubt for the Sounders.
Shipp made his ninth start of the season for the Sounders and had his best game of the year, helping connect passes and keep the offense flowing from sideline to sideline despite Seattle’s disadvantage in the possession game.
After the match, head coach Brian Schmetzer praised the 26-year-old’s performance.
