The Sounders went into this rainy Saturday night match against D.C. United needing a win, not only for the points, but for morale. They fielded one of their strongest lineups of the season, with most players finally at least somewhat healthy. Nicolás Lodeiro and Victor Rodriguez started in midfield with Clint Dempsey, while Will Bruin started as the lone striker after being sidelined last match with a foot injury. Despite going down early in the second half, Seattle earned the victory with a 2-1 win through goals from Nicolas Lodeiro and Magnus Wolff Eikrem.
