RAPIDS 1, SOUNDERS 1: Đorđe Mihailović rolled a free kick from about 20 yards out under the wall to equalize.

RAPIDS 0, SOUNDERS 1: Danny Musovski scored for the third consecutive game, putting away an inch perfect cross from Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, who had been played in by a wonderfully weighted Jesús Ferreira pass.

THE MOOSE IS (ONCE AGAIN) LOOSE. Danny Musovski gives us the 1-0 lead just before half! 👏

LINEUPS: Brian Schmetzer will repeat a starting lineup for the first time this year, going with the same group that delivered a win over Nashville SC a week earlier. The only change to the bench was Cody Baker in place of Reed Baker-Whiting.


The Seattle Sounders are coming off arguably their best win of the season, a 3-0 thumping of Nashville SC at home. Now, they'll try to keep the momentum going when they play the Colorado Rapids.

The Rapids have been up and down this season, but come into the match sitting fifth in the Western Conference on 15 points, three ahead of the Sounders, who are in eighth.

The Sounders will be about as close to full strength as they've been all year, especially in the attack. Jordan Morris and Albert Rusnák have been full participants in training for two weeks, while Pedro de la Vega has now made starts in consecutive games.

The Rapids will be missing a few key pieces. Most notably, they are without their top two goalkeepers: Zack Steffen (suspension) and Adam Beaudry (ankle). That means Nico Hansen will likely get his first MLS start. The Rapids are also missing starting left back Sam Vines (groin).

Notes

  • The Sounders have an all-time record of 26-8-5 against the Rapids, which includes a record of 10-6-5 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
  • With two assists last week, Jesús Ferreira became the second youngest player in MLS history to reach 90 goal contributions for his career.
  • This will be Josh Atencio's first game against the Sounders since he was traded to the Rapids in preseason.
