Sounders vs. Austin FC: Highlight, stats and quotes

The Seattle Sounders remained undefeated and continued their best-ever start but will still head into the international break feeling a bit disappointed after drawing 0-0 at home to expansion side Austin FC on Sunday. The Sounders looked to have gotten the breakthrough goal in the 75th minute when Fredy Montero finished off a João Paulo pass, but the goal was disallowed when VAR ruled Raúl Ruidíaz offside.

The Sounders won’t play again until June 19 when they visit the LA Galaxy.
