Another game, another draw for the Sounders FC.
The club headed to Minnesota with its healthiest roster in a month. But the rejuvenated players couldn’t wrestle a win from United FC. Instead the Loons’ new Allianz Field saw its first draw, 1-1 on Saturday.
Minnesota (4-3-3) opened the scoring with a goal off a free kick in the 26th minute. Loons defender Ike Opara made the play by using his 6-foot-2 frame to stretch over the Sounders defense.
Cristian Roldan had the emphatic response. The midfielder took a poorly cleared ball by Minnesota and fired it from 23 yards out into the goal to equalize the score in the 42nd minute.
