Jackson part of an attacking three with Rossi
and Shambo captain darling to nag the anchors. The midfield changes to the side that fell to
Portland last week two of them, they're forced to make both.
Andrew Thomas is the goalkeeper, Nico Hagan, the number one for Guatemala. He's busy in this international window, an
opportunity for both and under way tonight. Glad to have you with us on MLS season pass.
They allowed numerous chances in that game 17 shots by New York City.
As a matter of fact, who just kept missing, they missed on 12 of
those attempts. Here come the sounders now, Morris sends it
wide. Oh, it was there for a one nothing Seattle lead
but no does well to get it away from N and here come the sounders the
other way gathered by Rothrock. Rothrock has options.
Gives it a go save made by Romeo first test of the night.
And Abraham Romero passes with flying colors, he senses the pressure and gave that away.
Christian rolled on will work it ahead. Jordan Morris trying to get on this but the
keeper off his line big collision and the referee will award the free kick to the
Sounders here onside hit but there is a big, big decision to be made here. The red card has just been shown to the
goalkeeper Abraham Romero and he has been sent to a to see as the ball's played through
just as it bounces there. Ooh, it's a really, really pain first Rusnak
over the free kick for the Saunders. B.
Rusnak fires go what a strike from Albert Rusnak and the Sounders take the lead in first
half stoppage time to get the ball in a good position but Rusnak,
he found the gap. He found the corner and Seattle have taken the
lead and what an interesting game they're gonna have ahead because Seattle, you can guarantee
they're gonna shoot on site. I'm not gonna critique an outfield player
that's gone in there out to the middle of the park.
Jordan Morris will run this away from Shambles. Morris four across the field into the attack
for the Sounders. They work across Rothrock, Morris 20 game big
finish, Jordan Morris and the all important insurance goal for Seattle to double
the lead. It starts off Morris, he drops deep.
Now all of a sudden you've got wide players, you see the two wingers, you've got mungo and
you've got Rothrock keeping the width that leaves the space.
Then for Morris to get into, he plays the 12 and puts the ball to the back
of the net. It's the same duo that should have led to
Seattle's opening goal in the first half where Morris put it wide.
Not this time though. And this was all about the wingers keeping the
width which created the space for Morris. He then plays it out wide and the rest is
history. Really, really good saves Canada with its first
victory in men's soccer against the United States on US soil since 1957.
This is a tense for the Sounders to work this across shot from just outside the box.
It's a three nothing game, Albert Rusnak second of the night and the
sounders firmly in the driver's seat in the 67th minute. Yeah.
Well, if you don't shoot, you don't score.
But what I would say is mungo really direct, really positive.
Rusnak then finds himself in space on the edge of the area, not the greatest of strikes, but
Columbus don't have an actual goalkeeper in. And that's what I was saying earlier anywhere.
1820 yards out, you have to shoot because nine times out of 10,
you're going to find the back of the net. This is what happened and now s find themselves
three nil up in the regular season are all against Western conference teams. Christian rolled on that includes decision day
against the timbers. What will be at stake that day?
Quick shot fired though. What a finish wno completes the hat trick for
Seattle. They put four on the board at lower.com Fields
as our player to watch and it wasn't gonna be for goals, it was gonna
be for assist. But what a beautiful finish.
This is regardless of who's in goal. The way that he allows the ball to go across
his body is outstanding. And Zoki, absolutely no chance any goalkeeper
Saunders continue to pour it on. They work ahead, Georgie Manou four into the
attack for Seattle again. Manou works it across, they get a touch to it
near the blocks but the chance goes wide. That was Rothrock on the in swinger.
Camacho gets ahead to it sent out further by Ramirez Christian
rolled on his shot scooped up on a bounce and the fans appreciate the save by Zawa Alex
rolled on ahead. Georgie menu out wide on the right.
Wants to take on Serco goes for goal at the stop made by Zao play it across and he's got it
again. We believe he just recorded his second FLS save. He was honored with the captain's armband.
There was a reason for that. It was bestowed on him by Wilfred Nay Thomas
and with a save tonight on the shot from long range by Diego Rossi. Leo Chu works it across.
Taken here. Rusnak feels the pressure from behind.
Chu gives it a go and he rang it off the crossbar looking for number five by the
Sounders and Leo Chu, he thought he had it as as well.
Bruce Brus once again in transition come the Seattle Sounders,
they'll work it ahead. Morris able to get on this with Zarski out
that's well played, came out, cut down the angle concedes the
corner, I think for Columbus, they've wanted this game to be over for a while.
But what a victory for Seattle, I think there's no arguments with the red card
to Romero for the circumstances in which the game unfolded.
Then such a tough one to take for Columbus.
