Welcome to the Sounders FC Fremat Show presented by Providence Swedish tonight from the Emerald Queen Casino pitch at lumin Field, your Seattle Sounders FC face FC Dallas. Tonight's match is presented by Tequila Herradura Extraordinary Awaits. Please drink responsibly. The Providence Swedish Premat Show starts now well, coming off of the match in San
Jose that we all want to quickly forget. You're now third place. Seattle Sounders are back in action tonight facing FC Dallas here at beautiful, sunny and quite warm lumin Field. So welcome to the Sounders FC Prematch Show, presented
by Providence Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders. FC Jackson felt here in the booth alongside Sounders Legend, Brad Evans and Brad as we look at the Sounders in the view from thirty five thousand feet right now, you get two straight wins Houston and then last weekend against Vancouver that thrilling, great three two comeback win where the attack had looked a lot better then you had San Jose. And I know we want to move on very quickly from this, but
that's San Jose match. It showed that this team offensively still had, you know, steps to take. Now, of course Christian rolled on George Morris. Back is as simple as getting them back in the lineup, for everything to be fixed and things to go back to the way they were at the start of the season. Well, yeah, look, I think this is a team whenever you win two games in a row, we're going to be happy. And right before that we had two wins in twelve games or thirteen
games. So it's right now we're at a bit of a tale of two seasons, and we hope that that's the case. We had a great start, we had a little bit of a lull, as we do as Sounders, and then we get to it. So if we win tonight, right, that's three and four and we forget about the San Jose game. The good thing about the San Jose game is as a player, it's out of your mind. Right you get on that plane, you get home, you have a regend session, and all of a sudden, it's pregame session that
are always the most fun to me. So you get out there on a Friday, you forget about San Jose. You come in here against Dallas on a beautiful night and to night. It's no excuses, especially looking at this lineup that the Sounders are fielding. But like you said, thirty thousand foot view, you still look at the standings. The team that's in third place, if results go our way, could bump up to second place tonight.
It is actually quite impressive the fact that this team has dealt with absences of two of the most important players to any team for a single team in MLS really Jordan and Christian, and they have stayed at their spot in the table, whether it was second place now third place, they've stayed there without the big absences, and that is a credit to the job that this team did, not only at the start of the season, but then to pick up
wins like a New York Red Bulls and like Houston and Vancouver. So the Sounders did what they needed to do while Christian and Jordan were out and now they are back. So let's get to the Delta. Starting eleven for the Seattle Sounders, Stephen Fryes out of concussion protocol. He is back in goal. Back four of this four two three one, Alex ruled on Yamar Gumaz Andrade Jackson, Reagan and knew who. Joel Paulo sits next to Obed Vargas,
the attacking threesome on the right. Christian roll Don is starting, Albert Russ Snack in the middle and Leo Chew off to the left with Roo Ruidiaz up top. And I'll quickly tell you yes, Jordan Morris is on the Sounders bench. So, Brad, the first thing that pops out, the thing that we are going to lead in talking about our here Christian roll Don back on the right wing. And you know, just looking at the way that this team functions with Christian, you expect good things to come out of
tonight. Well you either say that's the first thing that jumps out, or is it Nico Lanaro absent from the starting lineup, and this is a credit. Maybe this is a shift in the Sounders, But Nichols had a lot of games as of Lake and he's played a lot of minutes. So you know, the midweek game at San Jose takes a toll and then you get
Christian back with some fresh legs. He didn't play a lot of minutes in that Gold Cup, so tonight is a night for Christian to step in there and Nico might come off the bench in some capacity, but this is about as strong of a Sounders lineup as we've seen in a good long time. So yeah, Christian back in Rusnack as your number ten, and we'll see is this a night that Ruce Knack and Christian can build a partnership. Leo Chew on the left with Rahoul up Tom, I mean, that's a strong
front pour right there, it really is, Brad. I feel like offensively, this team has missed the balance. We've seen so much coming down the left left, left, left left so much, to the point where Nkos drifted all the way to the left and pushed Leaf Chew inside at times. And now it feels like with Christian and especially having Alex rolled on back and right back that rolled on brother pairing on the right side, it feels like we're finally gonna get that balance back to night. Yeah, And you kind
of feel bad for Niko because he was thrust out into that position. Alex was gone, he was injured, and he had to play with Cody Baker. Not that he had to play with Cody Baker, but that's just what was dealt him and Cody's strengths are defending. We know that he's gonna win just about every aerial duel, he's gonna get into every tackle, but he's he gonna provide everything moving forward. No, he's not, And so the
onus is on Nico. But that's a position that he played when he first came to the Sounders, but he also had Tyrone Mears behind him that was bombing the right hand side. So he enjoys playing that role. But he really needs the right fit to be successful there. But now we get the roldn brothers back on the right. Let's see if that partnership can bloom because when when it does, it's probably the best right flank in the league when they get going. So no excuse tonight for the Sounders, but you feel
for Nico. I know he's going to be not happy to be on the bench tonight. I mean, let's talk about that because and specifically, I think Brian Spencer is a head coach right well, we always hear and what we see, you know over the years is he's one of the best man manager coaches you'll ever come across in any sport. And when you have a guy in Nicholas Ladera who's been your captain, who's been your iron man for
the last seven years. You know, that is a very difficult conversation that Brian had to have had with Nico to say, listen, dude, I know you want to start three games in a week, but but this time you just can't do it. Yeah, and that's okay. And as a professional, you always think that you have more in the tank than what everyone on the outside sees and what your coaches and what the GMCs, because you have this support group around you that's always going to build you up and keep
pushing you forward. But the reality is is that the game changes, and as you age, your game changes as well personally, not just the game that's on the field, but the way that you play, and sometimes you can't do the things that you used to do. So for me, I was fortunate right versatile player. I could just move back a line, I could just go play center back, I could just go play right back. But for a true number ten, usually that is your only role as a
player. So I hope the conversation was, Hey, we want you here for the long term, We're gonna have to rotate our lineup. You've played a number of games lately, Christian's coming back and he's fit and healthy and rare and to go. You know, they do a ton of tests with these guys to see if you're ready to go before the game, a couple, you know, a week before the game. So if the conversations are correct, it's really going to test Schmitz. But he would rather have these
problems than not have a full strength lineup. So now you get to see a sense of how Schmitz's managerial prowess will be moving forward with this group of guys. They get healthy, that's exactly right, and that's the name of the game is be healthy, right because as we've seen with this team, when they're a healthy come playoff time. More often than that we make MLS
Cup. I mean, I look back to twenty eighteen and had it not been for both Christian rold on a Cha Chad Marshall both getting injured in the road leg down in Portland, I think this team makes five straight MLS Cups and the conversation is a little bit different. So for me, it's just all about being healthy and hopefully this decision is there to do that. And kind of the second part, I know Christian Roldan starting the right wing.
Some people would say, well, why couldn't Nico just you know, slot down a line, and to what you were saying right there, you know, as you did, Nico could slide back play next to d Apollo. Obed Vargas getting that nod to play his third straight game in a week. I mean, yes, he's young, and young players can play an infinite number of games, but also it is a had to be is a credit to this kid and the way he's playing right now. Yeah, I think
Obed is the future. I think if you're looking at the Sounders as as as a business, you don't start Nico as your number six. You start your seventeen year old as a number six so that it looks like he's beat out. You're probably best player in club history. And if you're thinking about selling this kid, he has to play games. He's got to play thirty thirty five games a season, because that's what teams overseas or dart down in Mexico, wherever he wants to go. He wants to go to Argentina,
whatever it is. They have to see that durability, even at a young age, because that's what players are doing overseas. That's what players are doing in South America and Central America. They're playing every game of the season. And so I think from a business standpoint, it's probably the smarter decision to keep Obed in the lineup to show that this guy can play and he deserves to be there. And he does deserve to be there. And that's the
thing. He's a very very good player. And he's still only seventeen. Yeah, he's super young. And I think that the important part for everybody to understand is this kid is good enough to go play overseas. He is that young, he's that talented. You know. Obviously the world is very aware of the name Obed barn and he will then continue to get looks.
So the question is, yeah, it does. Is Obed's future here as a starting player or is his future, you know, bringing the Sounders a large transfer fee and making a fantastic career over with another squad, And we just don't know yet, but it is a great voot of confidence for Obed Vargus in there today, Brad. Finally we have Stephen Fry back in Gold. Stephen Cleveland good few games that he stepped in while Fry was in concussion
protocol. But to have Fry back in there and have that leader at the back to do what he does that you know, listen, I know, I know Fry is certainly getting up there in age, but he can still make epic moments and I think having that leader back there is important for this team. Yeah. Look, Casey Keller played until he was forty one. Yeah, I mean, goalkeepers can do it. Marcus was here until forty forty one as well. So I always give a tip of the hats and
goalkeepers in their longevity and how long they're able to play. But Stephen Cleveland is a really, really good goalkeeper, and so he will step in and be serviceable. And that's why you have to have two good goalkeepers on your roster because at any point you saw it. Two years ago he had to step in. Step had the knee injury, and he proved to be a very very good goalkeeper in this league and he's only gotten better. And so
I think. But when you come into the locker room and if you saw Terry Boss was going to start the game, hats offs Terry Boss a fantastic goalkeeper, But then Casey was going to be starting that game There's just something about that name being back there that gives you confidence moving forward because typically you know that they're gonna make that one or two massive saves in a game that's going to keep you in it, and that's that's ultimately their job, right
and the game is evolving where it's more distribution based. Casey was relied on to make the saves and not be in the distribution game. But now that's STEP's job is he's very good at starting our attack and he's probably one of the best in the league at doing that. And so hats offs of Steff getting getting healthy quickly and having him back between the pipes is a huge confidence boosts going for especially with the amount of shoutouts this team has had this year.
Let's not forget this is a very very good defensive minded team. He's the biggest part of that. In the bottom Yeah, absolutely is you know, eleven clean sheets on the year. I want to say for Stephen Fry, he's like five off the MLS record. I want to say for a single goalkeeper, just a spectacular season and certainly an All Star snub. We have a few All Star snubs on this team right here, but only Jordan Morris heading to the All Star Game next or Wednesday's really really quickly dive into
the Providence Squish team health reports. Two players out tonight, Javier Ariaga and Kellen Row both have right quad strains. Questionable players include Stephen Fright you know he's out of concussion protocol, Ethan double are right hamstring strain, and Soda Kitahara has a right quad strain. Neither Doublair or Kahara are available on the
bench tonight. Let's really quickly actually take a look at that sounder's bench recordable any further I mentioned Jordan Morris is in there also, as we mentioned Nicholas Ladero on the bench, Freddy Montero stepping Cleveland, a Bisasoko, Josh Tencio, Reed Baker, Whiting, and Cody Baker.

to the Providence Wei's prematch show here from lumin Field. We are feeling the heat here in the poodierlumin temperature is reaching near ninety degrees today here in Seattle, and the Sounders and FC Dallas getting ready to kick things off here from lumin Danny Jackson and Steve Zakwani will have the call coming up here in just about twenty minutes or so. Jackson, Felt and Brad Evans are here for the pre match show. And let's take a look here at the Dallas squad
coming to town. They are eight to nine and five at seventh place in the Western Conference with twenty nine points at both six points back of Seattle at thirty five for third place, and also six points above Portland for twelve. It is a log jam in the Western Conference right now is twelve points divide all the way from three all the way to twelve. So certainly for the Sounders right now, with eleven matches to go, you gotta get absolutely as
many points as you possibly can. But looking at Dallas. You know, Brad, this is a team that I think they've been struggling overall of late. Four losses in the last five. They lost in Portland and in Austin. Then they had actually an upset win over LAFC, who certainly have the cockacaf hangover, before two more losses to DC United at home and then last
week Colorado on the road. So for this Dallas team coming to town, you know, they have they have a couple names that I think Sounder fans certainly know well and a couple that aren't going to be even in the match tonight. Yeah, I think one win in nine games, which is you know, we were talking about that with the Sounders just a couple of weeks ago. So how things turn around, they often start with with a gutsy performance away from home. And for me that moment may have been the Sounders
victory in Vancouver. That was a big one for the club. But you still have you know, if I saw this lineup walking into the long room, that's not a team that I'm gonna be afraid of. But still, you know, I've played against a number of these guys. I mean, Sebastian is obviously, you know, played with the US national let the jet I mean, he's out there and he's always going to provide an attacking powers
and just that creativity that not many players have. And so for me, it's all about the Sounders tonight, and I don't care about the Dallas lineup tonight because that's how I view this game. This is a you know, a month after seeing this lineup, I thought that it would be stronger, but now that I've seen it, it's a must win for the Sounders tonight. I like that. I completely agree with you as well. One of the reasons I think we say that it is Haysu's Forrera, So haysus f
Era, you know, States men's national team. For everybody who's watched the US over the last few years, I know they ain't Hayes. Who's fer Era. In this latest run in the Gold Cup, I think he had what six or seven goals. I mean, he's been an absolute star for the United States. So he played one hundred and twenty minutes for the US on Wednesday. As a result of that, Dallas didn't even put them in their twenty, not even on the bench for tonight's match. He is unavailable.
I'd like to point out that Hays who's vera ten goals and two assists on the ear But looking at that ten goals, no other Dallas player has more than two goals, Brad. Yes, they have a couple of talented players. I mean, Alan Velasco is supposed to be, you know, a great young player. He's really disappointed a lot of people in Dallas with his low statistics in his Big U twenty two signing. But overall, I kind of do ask, where are the goals going to come from Dallas against
a spectacular Sounders defense that leads the league in clean shoots. Yeah, well, I think it's a great I think they'll play a full one. It's almost like a four to three three, And that to me is they're gonna go for it. They have nothing to lose. If you're gonna feel this lineup and think you're gonna come in here and sit back and just get a tie, it's gonna be the longest day and night for FC Dallas fans and
their players because the Sounders are gonna push. If that's the case, and now with Alex back, you got new who there's more balance in this squad. If you would ask me this four or five weeks ago. I think Dallas comes in here and sits back. But I think tonight they have to push forward because the Sounders are gonna come out of them, and there's no excuse tonight for our boys and Grape Green. Well, if they're gonna move forward, that's just gonna allow the Sounders to take it back the other way.
I this could be a fun, exciting match with more than a few goals on Seattle side. I will quickly mention the name that Schmenzer highlighted to us in our production meeting, this center back, Nicosi Tafari. He's a
New York native six four center back that plays for FC Dallas. Schmenzer said this is a good center back, so certainly they will watch out for him as the Sounders attack and attack and attack tonight with not only rollery he has up top, but also Christian Rodan Is Brad mentioned back there on the right wing. Let's shift gears, and I'll tell you quickly that tonight's upon it. Alec was presented by Sharp Vision, Modern Lasic and Lens, the official
Lasic provider of Sounders. I see Let's shift gears now and look back to the Sounders and Brad, who is your Seattle player to watch to We've probably heard coming into the I can't talk enough about Rusnack and his impact on this team and what it can be. And we've talked about it a number of times before. Is he has to be the guy. He's he's a number ten. This has to be the guy that's connecting passes. He's he's opening up lanes for Raoul. That's your job. It's not just a score goals.
It's mostly to provide assists in my opinion, with this lineup, and he's got to be able to pick out Christian, He's got to be able to pick out Raul. It's the quick combinations that he provides in his quick release. So tonight I'm watching Albert Rusnack once again, and I've said it so many times before, that this is the guy if the Sounders are going
to be successful that has to unlock defenses. And tonight, if he can't do it against an SEC Dallas squad that is coming in here almost limping in here, you know, we have other questions that we have to ask. I love that I'm looking right now Christian rold On very simply, we've seen the returner rolled on. We saw it for that Charlotte match before Christian left for the Gold Cup, and all the dudes does is score a goal within
like the first fifteen minutes on the field. This is a guy that is going to be able to I think add the Sounders not only balance on the right side of the attack, but give them that added dimension they're combining with Alex on that right wing. I'm excited to see Christian Roldon back starting for the Sounders tonight. Those are our players to watch. We are just about fifteen minutes away from kick here at Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at lumin Field.
Tonight's countdown and kickoff is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of the Northwest.

Please dream responsibly. Danny Jackson and Steve Zakiwani will call Sounders Dallas coming up in just a few
moments. Namas Jackson felt here alongside Brad Evans for the Problem in Switch Prematch Show. Well in MLS history Seattle is all time eighteen eight and eight against FC Dallas. That includes the four playoff wins that the Sounders have of our Dallas, that the most against any single team. And I'll tell you that today it marks the first meeting between these teams in twenty twenty three after splitting
this season series last year, both teams winning at home. But Brad, as we look at how what things are going to happen on the field, we kind of led into it what things might look like last segment. But let's get to your keys to this match. Yeah, defensively, we gotta keep things tight in the back. But when you look at this lineup, you have Christian back, We've got Roula top. It's all about scoring goals. To keep it tight in the back, you're gonna get your chances.
You cannot get frustrated against a team where you might not know a lot of these guys on this FC Dallas squad a win and we certainly don't. We don't know a lot about some of these guys that are starting tonight, and so sometimes that provides challenges that you don't expect. Someone always comes in here, a young guy that you don't expect and then all of a sudden you
leave. You're like, wow, that guy was really good for FC Dallas, and so tonight it's about scoring goals and putting this team to bed early on and then it's a nice night and to get out of here. Three wins in the last four and we're often running into the latter part of this month. And you mentioned that right there, and like Alan Lasko is that is exactly that type of name where he's been so disappointing for Dallas so far this year. But the talent is there and it's just waiting for his coming
out party. I think Dallas fans are just waiting for that. I was told by one of their fans earlier this week. So the thing for them is if this is his coming out party, that shoure would be a disappointment. So I agree, Sanders defensively walking down. Let's get that number twelve clean sheet on the year. Take one more break, we'll come back, give you the Sounders Delta starting eleven and one more time and talk about what
exactly needs to happen in the first half of this match. We are just a few minutes away from kick here between the Sounders and FC Dallas here on Sports Radio ninety three point three JJRFF.

Bruce Lee Match Bruce Lee Match here at Blumenfield for the Sounders. A couple of cool things that we just witnessed over the last few minutes during the prematch a show and at first off, the golden Scarf ceremony that we just witnessed for the Golden Scarf was award at the Bruce Lee's family, his daughter Shannon, his granddaughter Wren. So that was a beautiful ceremony that just took place.
Also, you know, during the last segment is Brad and I were watching here, we watched a world renowned painter by the name of Garabaldi paint an upside down painting of Bruce Lee from My Belief from Enter the Dragon while an orchestra played songs from his movies. Brad, that was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. And upside down painting. When he flipped
it over looked a spitting image of Bruce Lee that was insane. Well, yeah, something you or I could not do and a millie We don't even know what it was until it finally flipped over, but yeah, pretty incredible. Honoring him and his legacy with our jersey it's it's fantastic. So I got to meet Shannon today at an event at hing Hay and she's also singing
the national anthem tonight. So pretty impressed. She's trained and orchestra, she does everything, and so she's an extremely talented woman, just like her dad was so very special tonight had his spectacular. We see her standing there on the Sanders Ex podium with the golden scarf as the players are about to come out here and we will get to the national anthem in just a moment. That's fantastic. Quickly, I'll go back to the delta starting eleven one more
time for your Sounders. It is Stephen Frying goal. He is out of concussion protocol, so Stephen Cleveland goes back to the bench. Fry is back in goal for your Sounders. Four two three one line of usual from Brian Schmitzer. Alex rolled On on the right, Gamar Gomez Andrade and Jackson Reagan. The center backs knew who as your left back. Holding midfielders are Dual Paulo and Obed Vargas. Christian rolled On. He played fifty seven minutes to
the United States men's national team on Wednesday. He has returned and he is starting on the right wing for your Sounders. Albert Russnack in the middle,
Leo Chew on the left, Rall Ruy Diaz up top. And I should mention Jordan Morris there is going to be on the bench for your Sounders and Brad, I know we talked about it earlier, but to go over it again, having Christian rolled on back out there is your starting right winger tonight that not only is going to add balance, but it's gonna add another dimension that this Sounders attack has Dad definitely needed. Yeah, I mean Chris and
having having Christian back, I can't say enough about him. He's a guy that came in here and Chad Marshall will just be screaming at him because he just didn't know what he was doing exactly. To see his evolution, he used to drive drive Chet crazy really but he would be you know, to see his evolution. And ultimately he will be here for the long term. He signed a new deal. He'll be a captain ending his career here in Seattle. I guess in the nest, you know, seven to ten years
probably. This guy's just an absolute animal and so his prowess on the field and what he brings. It's his stature, it's he'll never give up on a play, and that's what it means to be a Sounder and that's who's going to lead this team tonight for the guys in a great pad and to
go over exactly what we want to see here. I mean, we talked about starting fast at home, Brian Spencer talks about that all the time, but it feels like against this specific Dallas team who may be going for it with a four three three lineup, this is a Sounders team where it's there for them to start off fast and get an early goal. You know it's there for them. And I don't want to sit here at halftime asking questions you don't want to see here at the end of the game again being disappointed.
Let's get three and four and get off to the to a good start, a good hot start. The guys should be able to provide that tonight. A lot of hooplaw around this game, right and for good reason. Right, This is why we have the jersey, this is why our fans show up. It's a beautiful night here, no excuses at Blumenfield. It is beautiful. We see the Sounders starting the lineup and they are wearing the
Bruce Lee jumpsuit tops in yellow. What a site that is. As we get ready for the national anthem, we'll step aside Danny Jackson, Steve Zakawani. We'll have the call for Sounders FC Dallas.

Sounders FC Soccer is brought to you by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC. Now time for Sounders FC Sucker. Good evening from e QC Pitch at lumin
Field, where your third place Sounders take on seventh place FC Dallas. Dallas come into lumin Field in a true mid season slump, with six losses in the last eight MLS games and winless in the last sixteen games. Here at lumin Field, Dallas will be searching for any semblance of hope to get back on track. For the Sounders. They welcome the return of Jordan Morris and
Christian rolled On with open arms. After a tepid offensive performance against San Jose and midweek, the team come back home to play the final MLS game before the league's cup break. For the first time since mid March, Brian Schmitzer has all his big name attacking players available for selection tonight as they seek to rekindle some of that early season form. My name is Danny Jackson, alongside
former Sounders winger and current podcast star Steve Zaquani. Before we get to see For's initial thoughts, let's give you the lineups for both teams the Delta. Starting eleven for your Sounders, Stephen Fry back in the goal after missing two
games due to concussion protocol. A back four of Alex Roldan, Yaymark Reagan and knew who Obert Vargas alongside JP in the middle of the park, the return of Christian Roldan on the right hand side, Albert Rusnak in the ten, Leo Chiu on the left, and then Rui the adds up front. For FC Dallas, They're gonna play a three four three Martin Parsing goal, a back three of a zeus Abiaga and Tafarre, midfield four of Lagette, Cirio, Kenyon and Una, and an attacking three of Kamungo, Obrayan and
Velasco. So steves things get ready to go here? What the Sounds have to get back on track and finish this first part of the MLS season strung. Yeah, And I think we've been discussing recently Danny, especially for home games, is get off to a fast start, you know, come out early, get on top of your pole. None first tackle, first shot,
first and end of first challenge be first. And I think for the Sound, as you win tonight, you spin it as three wins up the last four and then suddenly your team that's training upwards and not a team that's still struggling to find waste to win as the Sounders with Jackson Reagan knocks the ball along the Sounders attacking unconventionally in this first half to our goal to our right to the south end. Today they're decked out in They're Bruce Lee.
Awake it on this Bruce Lee match to honor the life and legacy of Bruce Lee, and the pre match festivities were pretty amazing to watch. They did
a great job and congratulations to everybody involved. FC Dallas in the all white kid, white shirts, white shorts and white socks attacking the goal to our left the north end as he passed, knocks the ball from center towards new on the right hand side, headed on by FC Dallas, Dropped O'Brien flicks around the corner to Alaska, so Christian roll down first touch back in the
lineup. A couple of rounds of applause there as well. Down picks up in front of the Sounders bench this near side the right back to Obed Vargas continues his play in the middle of the park alongside JP who gets knock to the good ground by Keen Young. All goes to the deck. It's gonna be a Sounders free kick, but already early on you can see why brand
Smith has so upbeat about having the role done. Brothers ons right hand side, Christian eas gonna give you so much width in terms of he's a business to running behind the Sounders haven't had the in behind fret on the right hand side for a very long time now, and the times on Christian does go inside to help cover Alex fields that space really well all down the line towards
the end line because Aldown can't quite keep it in. Assistant referee on this nurse, so I puts his flag ups gonna be a goal kick for Dallas. As we mentioned the Sounds coming off a back of a disappointing Tuneil lost down in San Jose after a great come behind victory in Vancouver a week ago, Sound is still sitting in third. It's been an up and down June
and up and down July so far. As certainly the Sound is looking to get back on track and Craig Wiable and branch Mas they both talked about League's Cup as a new tournament for MLS and leaguer Amex to competing and the opportunity to win Steve another cup to put next to that. CCL Championship. Yeah, I think. I think it's always for the players. On the bottom
line is that's prize money involved. That's a good motivation, but also any chance you get to compete probably see different guys on the roster getting opportunities as well, and that kind of tournament I think for the Sounders, Look, you want to end your MLS summer campaign really really well, so game black to night, pick up a win, take a nice little break from eminence, play for leave Spark, and then you come into the late summer fard.
We've got FOURD squad which you've not had all the year really and Branch Menser having those best his disposal. It's hard to see this team not making a run. And that's the whole for everyone in time Mouvement field today and beyond ye trying to get after that final finish and a win tonight puts some to thirty eight points, where there's Brian mentioned in some of those comments yesterday,
just three points away from that first place Sparks. So sound has certainly got an opportunity tonight because the ball goes down the line or to les yet back in the line of missed good parts of the season so far with injury. Former LA Galaxy product of seven years came in most recently from New England and August of twenty twenty two. As this Dallas line up in Dallas squad continues to get rebuilt and the head coach Nico Esteves, former US men's national
team assistant coach and the great Burholter. There's a Sounders with the ball fast side the left with new who about ten yards or so from the corner flag Jackson Reagan and support. He gets it, decides to knock in long learning backing into the middle of the field, headed down by Dallas, but picked up by Christian, rolled on down to his brother Alex. So good to see those two back in the lineup together, combining so well over the last
couple of years. And Steve, we've talked about Christian roll dance absence both from his concussion that was a good number of weeks almost two months now with national team duty, Sounds have really missed that player. Yeah, I mean last year we learned the importance of job Pardoor and we learned that from his absence. And it's the same dishape for Christian, you know, and sometimes you can't say you know what's he best that where's the best position. You
can have those debates all day. What we do know is that he needs to be on the pitch because it's a much different team about him. And I think for the Sounders on his right hand side, he just gives them the ability to link up well with his brother. But then he also goes inside and covers this base of that Albert Russ and might leave or sometimes even a job part or might leave. He's very good as stiffing out the danger and doing defensive duties. And Christian can get you three or four goals a
year, a few assists as well. Loose passed by the sounder is picked up by those yet or say hey, zus he was a bypass new with ease, he was across the face of the goal, picks up by the returning Stephan Fry decked out in all blue tonight, so good to have him back. Eleven clean sheets on the season, nine clean sheets at home.
Really stella season so far for Stephen Fry and the sticks for the sound as Steph Cleveland it's in gold due to that concussion of Stephan Fry as Dallas come in flicked off the heel of Alex Roldan easily collected again by step Stephan Fry. But Steve Steph Cleveland came in. Yes, he continued. Two goals against Vancouver, two goals against San Jose, made a couple of wonderful safe certainly in Vancouver. Really did a good job telling him. For Stephan Fry,
I grew with you completely, Danny. I mean the four goals conceded, not much you can do an end of them, especially the final bold in Sandals say, which was the world class finished. But when you have to step up, you made big saves. But at the same time, you know the sound As you're blessed to have two goalkeepers that I'm probably starting bever win MLS. But it's definitely France fitting Comflay you play, Stefan Fray.
Ye have certainly in such a storeward for this club if you think back all the way back to that two thousand and sixty MLS Cup and that wonderful saving made and the Sounders won their heels back to Gold. Didn't really do too much in the offensive heart but it was Stefri and Frey who pulled that
wonder save out. It was a good major contributor to that win in peaks as Dallas pick it up middle of the field with keynot ords it across to Tafari the back some time at cl Unite cl University under Pete viewing, all goes to Legette fast sight the right, took manga down the wet line. Logette's gonna get it to the end line cuts it back clip bite Vargas. It's Christian roll down, as Steve zac Wani mentioned, just finds those right pockets of space, so he clears the ball, but it's FC Dallas who's
gonna come away with it. Pick up the loose ball keenon abiago in the middle of the park in Sounders territory if you mentioned playing a three four three coming in with a number of attacking players, We'll see if he goes to more over three, five, two, even to five at the back at times as the Sounders are gonna pick up this thrown in fast side the left
after an air it pass by FC Dallas forget in the eighth minute. Here e QC pitch looming field ninety three point three KGr FM Sounders nil Dallas nil. If JP picks it up the middle of the field to Obed Vargas and it's steady Eddie since him in some time coming back from the U twenty Wold Cup. It's a foul on Ruyds back Keenon combination Keenon and Tafari, and it's gonna be the sound It's gonna pick it up bang in the middle of
the field, about forty yards from gold as Yama. Jackson Reagan's slowly trot up to provide an option what looks like JP and it's a The Sounders have struggled early on here having any kind of sustained possession in the Dallas half. It's been mostly FC Dallas, a couple of really good counterattacks actually, and getting on our right hand side. Now over set piece, a chance to send the big body forward. The Sounders I've steadily been improving and set piece
player, especially last weekend in Vancouver. Opens continue that here tonight or Sounders over fifty five percent on average this season you mentioned trailing today forty five percent against Dallas's fifty five percent. Is GP picks up all up middle of the field, lines it up. Jackson Reagan is near side the right on the corner of the eating Albots goes short around the corner. Right after training field finds the chess of Christian roll. Dan comes back to his brother Alex.
Christian to the right hand side, closed down quickly a Albrian. It's like going about to Alex roll dance. Sound has got some good pressure flicked around the corner to Christian roll down towards the end like but it's surreal. The FC Academy FC Dallas Academy product knocks it out for a corner kick as JP rolls over on it's near side the right. We'll see if the green kick right off the training field almost paid off. It was freely good good innovation.
Russknacks passing the end. Just not enough on it, but nice to see. The sound is trying something different to cast opponent off. Just didn't quite come off. How Some of the corner gates will be driven very much like San Jose towards the far left corner of the box. Doesn't quite work out, but Rosnax gonna pick up the pieces. Sounds off two goals from
set pieces. Of course, with the Lukderra Reagan shoe combination against Vancouver, the August rolled all the way back to Stephan fris A sounder trying to get hold of this game. Look up some tempo. But tonight's match is presented by Tequila Headed Daughter, an extraordinary ultra premium puncher. Percent A gave Tequila
extraordinary awaits. Please drink responsibly to get here. In the tenth minute, K you see pitch looming field sound is picking up possession sound as nil FC Dallas nil zef s Doll's highline of confrontation as they go with Alaska is a JP who it's a pretty incredible stats over the course of the year, certainly one of the top CENTI midfield players. And Steve we talked a lot about JP's influence in the middle of the park. Coming back from ACL feels like
a new signing, it really does. And not just a new signing, a DP level signing, a real difference maker, just a steady player in there. And what's going to be crazy is he's having a really good season, but he still feel he's working his way back till he's very, very best form. So if he finds that in the next three to six weeks
here, the Sounders go up even another level. And I think someone like JP's broke about the League's Cup. He probably gets a nice little break and that's much needed at that point so he can come in and finish the season
off very strongly for the sound Is here. But yeah, definitely having a player like that come back from a long term injury is a luxury to have and he's been a really really good form in recent weeks, even when the team has not the terms of total passes attempted and achieved, he sits just
outside the top three in MLS. Again, it's just that end up work with a bit of argus, just quietly efficiently in the middle of the parks, breaking up players as FC Dallas with Surrea knocks the ball into Velasco the DP middle of the field, rolls the ball out to Commando on the right hand side, challenged by new who has to come back to Legette that too, come on, go On the right hand side comes back all the way to Kenon. Eleven men behind the ball for the Sounders to drop it off
the middle of the parts. Sirea turns easily, keen On rolls into the feet Legette's able to quickly play it square to Jesus a couple of players missing of course for FC Dallas to Marci and now for a good number of weeks defender and also their talism and their MLS All Star and their top goal scorer Jesus Ferrera, and certainly Ferrera had a wonderful Gold Cup Clint Dempsey for seven goals, even with the US national team going out to Panama in the middle
of the week. As the ball goes into Leo Chu got some chance in the middle of the park blots by Ruy Diaz. It was good build up by the Sounders all the way through to Russnack. He found the gap between outside defender and central defender for Dallas with Leo Chu was racing in behind, and it was good defending eventually by FC Dallas to take it off the toe of Ruydiers. But we should see this all night long. Albert Rusnak in the inside channel there, Leo Chu, you have to make runs off the
board. Rusnak has the ability to find you and sleeping in behind, and all that's gonna matter then is do have the quantity to find that final pass On that occasion, Leo Chu picks up Ruthy as the space wasn't quite there, was defended raw by FC Dallas, but positive from the Sounders. Their India taken half dynamic. I felt at times in midweek and kind of labored in the final third. It was slow and it was a bit fourth and you want to see a bit more dynamic players, especially for your Chu,
a guy who can go vertical. I guess anyone in the speed you want to see the Sounders really get to the final third. And played a game at Temple, so that was a good example of that. Similar to the goal against Houston where Leo Chu found himself in a similar position. That time he cut it back to Rusnack. This time the only option was ruy Ds and certainly with Christian rolled on on the field is going to give you that ability to break in the box and be that second third man in support of
ruy Ds. As a Sounders pick it up here at back of the field. Sound As FC Socket is presented by Provident, Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders, FC Mains sound As Nil, FC Dallas nil. If you mentioned FC Dallas one only once in Luman field, I was way back in two thou eleven sixteen games without a victory. Here in Seattle, you see Dallas typically strong home record of a stronger away this year. They hit the playoffs.
Last year had a really strong season under head coach Estevez, but up and down so far, as we mentioned, six losses in the last eight games in regular MLS play. As the ball goes to Kamango off the heels, there's gonna be a Sounder story in the fast side of the left with new hoop ball in his hands. Support by JP is able to bring it down, chushing it back to Jackson Rega pressed by Kamoo all the way back to Steff and Fried steffro and frights a touch pressure from FC Dallas attacking player.
Well, if I can do is launch it long. It's gonna bounce right through to the sounder's bench. Thrown for FC Dallas. What a broad in here the fifteenth minute, and I'm since to myself, you know more, Branch better be happy. And I think yes, in general, there's been enough signs of life there. There's enough signs that the land up he has out there do have the tools to really make it a long unit from FC Dallas hasn't quite put together. Yeah, I think Dad has done a
great job disrupting what a sound has wanted to do. And we've seen the end of teams coming into Rubin field and not just being defensive, opening up playing expensive football. Quite told to toll against the Sounders, and I think Dadas are going to play quite an attacking brand, an attacking style today which ultimately should lead into the Sounder's hand. But so far in these is preventing John Parlow and Russknack from dominating the game. And so it's been a pick
back and forth. Nothing brands Spenser. Maybe he wants more control as if halfways on Austin came in a few months ago, played three the backers of blueprint for teams coming in here kind of stagnated the Sounders, frustrated them, got a result, and then as you mentioned, Houston Orlando came in and out possessed the Sounders, and Sounders certainly started to catch up in possession fifty five percent now in favor of the Sounders possess Dallas are gonna have a free
kit middle of field with a clattering challenge by Jackson Riggan through the back of Yesc Dallas attack over Hiannon. We go again to faring plaseball, nice seats to Alasco find some space between the Lions, plays the ball out to their fast side, the right to Lugette, closed down by New overlapping run by Jesu streets to flick it over New, who who reads the game well, flicks it up in the air, eventually finishes the clearance can only knock it
out of play. It's gonna be an FC Dallas throne fartside the left northeast corner of this field because he lines up for a long thrower. Rys Sisteant referee about ten yards or so from the corner flat all the big men up. The fari eb Jagon comes up because he lines up this long thrown if Scallas have not been particularly good in front of God the first off, many
of their goals in the second off. The ball gets launched and headed clear by Jackson Reagan, knocked back up by Lujette, won by Junker, who's had two goals in the last three games for Dallas, playing on the left hand side. But it's gonna be an off site given by the assistant referee. Remains sounds now FC Dallas now the game so far as compelling enough.
There's enough intrigue here, but both goalkeepers having an extremely uneventful opening seventeen eighteen minutes here so far we have we've hardly mentioned the name or for aub with years now. I know he's a player who doesn't need a ton of touches, but you still want to get him in rhythm. You want to get him involved, coming deep for little layoffs here, and they're trying to put
more crosses into the box, giving him things to chasing behind. You want to keep route active and engaging the game so that when the chance does come, he's involved, he's in rhythm and he has more chance to finish it. But just early on so far, I would say that's probably the happy of the two teams. Frustrating the Sounds a little bit here, not being stretched too much and not allowing the Sounders to find their very best rhythm.
Not for lack of training both player from the sense to the fast side of life. Leo two got some time in space, Jesus standing him up, flex around the corner towards Rosnack left side of the box to the back post, challenged by Alex Roldars, gonna go over the class far for a goal kick for Dallas. But good break, good build up by the sounders went from right hand side to the mad all the way to the left hand side, and again Leo Chio finds some time in space and a good slasher run
by Rusnack and support. Yeah, choose the outlet and often that's a secret. At this point he's the one guy who really get on the board, go on the dribble unbalanced defenders and I laughed that little run from Albert Russnack. You don't want to do that all the time because you want to leave the space and behind full or due to attack into But every now and then, seeing the attacking midfielder go into that space, choose able to play him
into space and then the final board from Russnack wasn't the best. But those are the kinds of attacks to sounders want to repeat and sustain to really put FSI datas under pressure side trying to build it out the bat. They do it quite well that the sound is able to win it thirty yards from the end, line knocks it down, line towards roll down towards the end like
cuts it back bundled over by FC Dallas. Think it was so it wasn't a little yet on Christian roll down, I mean Valasco y Valasco all the way back to help support his teammate, but it's a clumsy challenge from the offensive midfield player got kind of lost where he was Potentially, it doesn't get often. The situation makes to chase down and the tacky players so deep and the Dallas is are but clear fowl by Alasco. But suddenly the coaching staffer
Dallas will appreciate the effort. But it gives a Sound as a real chance. Here towards the end line and the south end of looming field, ten yards in from the corner flat one yard off the end line, GP is gonna swing swing it out with his right foot, so the sound has got something at their sleeve. They had a similar type corner kick as San Jose did for that wonderful goal. For their second goal, GP looking for options. Rusnack short top of the box is available, no real pressure SEFC Dallas
defense ten yards out from their goal. Nothing no pressure top of the box comes in good delivery but headed clear by a Zoo's good to try by. Russnack bounces off Azos Sounders claiming a handball where they keep going gos to Yamar flicks it up in the air. Jackson Reagan challenges bundle off the ball by Keenon for the Sounders to get it back in clear by FC Dallas, challenged by Rusnak's able to bring it down clumsy by both O'Brien and Rusnack, nothing
given by the referee. Six or one half a dozen of the other game goes on, Sounders in possession Jackson Reagan middle of the field still and Sounders territory is able to swing to this near side the right with Alex rold On. Rudy is looking for the run in behind three at the back for Dallas.
That morphs into a potential four as Shunka drops into all the left back roll versus a outside left mid fuel role because Leo Chu hasn't's able to switch it from left to right to Alex rold On, CHRISI Roldan and supports Square now goes in behind, gives space to Alex Roldan to whip it and he does. Cleared by Hibbiaga bounce it out at play much roll, Dan picks it up, throws it into Yamou. Sound has got some good temper and
pace right now, trying to find that opening goal. Yeah, and the games settling into more of the pattern that I may be effected to see the sounds dictating the play, dominating possession, forcing You see that is deeper and deeper into their own half. You begin to see the influence of russ Nack Girl Drop Parler has been involved in the last five minutes or so, Lee or Chew as well. And I like the last play with Alex Roda. When you have Rudy Has in a box, you can put early crosses,
doesn't have to be perfect. You put the ball into a dangerous area. Rudy has normally knows how to go and find it. So I think some of the sounds can add as well. Is not having to get to the touch line every single time with the goal line is early crosses, whip boards in make the defenders uncertain, make course confusion in the back line because Rudy has doesn't need a perfect board. You can feed off of that as well.
Let's see certainly the run by Christier Rold and open that space up, and it's that selfish running that running behind drops the back three, half of the back four gives Alex rod darn time of space and that's something you have from Krishier roll Dan. You know every player has their own strengths. When Lee call a Darrel pays on the rank side, he's on a tucking side. Christian Rodan will hold the witch for a lot more and Michels runs and
behind Leo true whipside. Good paul off the post by Christian or Dan comes back. Dax rod on his left foot strikes it deplects just whye corner kick Sounders, but again great delivery from Leo ju along the six yard bucks. Good run by Christian Roldan off the bottom the side of the right post comes out deflected on the rebound by Alex Roldon corner kick and it's extremely unlucky.
But that's more lucky by the sound as Leo two once again at the heart of everything the Sounders are doing, putting a really good boy and Christian Rodan does a great job. The determination to get there first gets really good contacts. He's very unlucky as it flies back off the pulse and Alex Rodan forces the corner with a rebound. Another chance for the Sounders from a set piece
the two hands out by Russ that instrum and cornicate the fast side. That left comes in whipped in near corner of the six cleared by FC Dallas, but only to Alex Roldan on the fast side. That left is going to swing it across cross field ball with his white foot trace to clear Juanqua during Coo eventually has said headed over, Yama. There's gonna be another corner kick for the Sounders, this time on this right hand side southwest corner as JP
jogs over. But Steve, it's been consistent and concerted pressure by the Sounders. It's a very good last seven to eight minutes here about the Seattle Sounders beginning to dictate the temple stamp there authority on the game. A last set
pieces too. So far it's say Dallas standing up really well, all comes in out scream Cornice at the six yard bucks cleared again well by Jesus of Dallas, this time only back to JP, back to Alex Roldan, a little bit of pressure and behind knocked off the wall by Velasco cheap fail. Given referee comes over. We'll see he has a little wood. Nothing more than that I would expect. See some soft yellows of the last couple of weeks. Steve let's standing. The referee just has a word for the right
thing to do. Yeah, and I think so. I mean, it's it's my last called second foul. He was the one who found Chrisha Rodana few rimmans minutes of boat and now he brings some of that same energy to his brother. But again even from here just ten yards. Also all he sided the half. I don't see why job Polish does not put it in the box. Sounds have sent Yame off forward as Jackson Reagan as well Dallas
have defended well so far. Ball comes in diagon driven this time not floated, clips off the FC Dallas defender only to Jackson Reagan to Obed Vargas. They're going to come again. Jp available again it's near side. The right receives the ball pressure from Junqua Chushion Roll Darn hugging the near side touchline, not going to Christie goes back to his brother Alex as the Sounders build again, center to left, back to center to Alex roll Darn. Sounders patient
in their builder, patient in their possession. But Stevens, who mentioned before, it's it's possession with the purpose Vancouver. They got the goals as the ball goes along so far A just heads it up. Ruddievs cushion headed to Alex rol Darn lads it to his brother Christian. It's near side the right. The real options flicks it back to Alex. JP down the line, rus Now making some moves top of the box, goes square short to open votless quick look over the shoulder. He's able to turn out of pressure,
but knew who available. Goes back to Rusna. Eislow flag to JP. This's near side the right, rolls it across the Christian roll down whips it in. It flecks off shunquir sends into the ground, challenged by Aux roll Darn. Free kick given by the referee. But Steve we mentioned, you know what the sounders want to do. They had good possessions sound as they weren't effected in the final third Vancouver. They were. It's about putting chancel
on gold. So far he sounds are doing that and it's opening twenty five minutes. Or are you seeing the value that Christian roll down adds. There was a play a couple of minutes of old Jackson Reagan launches on board sixty yards trying to goll in behind Christians making a hard run trying to get that. The play doesn't come off, but the Sounds are able to pick up
the second board. So having that in behind Fred Christian gives you that he's willing to run all night and all day to make runs from behind, which stretches the back line, creates more space underneath for Russ and I can drop Parlow to play in and so just a different look, different option for the
Sounders. But the last ten fifteen minutes very much show in control crowds sharing a little bit of skill by Yamozy turned the ball out of pressure balls in the center of the field to shift to the Leo Chow top of the box left hand side shoots the flakes over the top, could be another corner kick for the Sounders. Makes Sounders nil, FC Dallas nil. Here in the twenty seventh minute, the score update is presented by Tequila herold Order and it's
just good football again. Christian Rodan involved, rud Years, Russ Night, Leo Chow. The sound is beginning to find the influential attacking players. Often in his first half, FC that has been forced further and further back. And it's only so long as the away team. Can you absorb this kind of pressure before you came. So for the sound it's more of the same. The set pieces maybe the one era they've been lacking. They've been second
to every ball so far. Open it can be different this occasion as Russknack steps up four corners and whips and fast side flicks again all the way out from common goal. Gonna be the fifth quarter for the Sounders in this first after side. This time on there's near side the right, it's gonna be GP again. It's Rosnack separately on the left with a nin swinger the GP on this near side the right, which he has it down on the deck
being out swinging corner kick with his right foot. Sound has lined up whips in well top of the six yard box, headed clear again by FC Dallas, bony to GP because he clips the ball into the middle, collected easily by heistand the Dallas goal for this copyrighted audiocasts of Major League Soccer may not be retransmitted, reproduced, or rebroadcast without the express written consent of Major League
Soccer. As FC Dallas had to build out the back and miss clearance by the goalkeeper, Dallas so far as you mentioned, Steve's being decent delivered by the Sounders went off the post of course from Christian rolled on an open play could look good. Deliveries from set pieces, but so far FC daal standing toll. Yeah, defending very well. I mean there's five corners with the Sounders are not once as a Bruce Lee jersey's been first to the board.
It's been all Dad has all the white jerseys. They'll be happy with that. They haven't offered anything offensively in the last ten fifteen minutes. Old Dallas have to figure out a way to not be fourth so far back on top
of their own goalkeeper up because you cannot play that way. At some point you will concede and the way the game is shaping up and get a sense if the Sounds gonna score first and continue that pressure on it could be a long, long evening for Dallders. So far they've held well, but they
really are inviting a lot of pressure. Yeah, Ben, don't break because the FC Dallas Marto tonight sounders look like the sounders of Olders shoota as are wriggle free defending well by key on screen, Laska try to flick it over the top cushion headed by Jackson Reagan and read the danger well. It was Oprahan to get over the top. The sound has come away at the fast side the left. Sammy's new got some basicitter motor for trys to play the
ball in square to Rosneck was the wrong decision. New shoulders job F Dallas trying to move in transition fast side the FC Dallas right with Kimongo's just a great story coming into the team. He was found in an open tryout in twenty twenty one with North Texas Soccer Club, an affiliate of FC Dallas with connection He moved to Abilene, Texas when he was fourteen years old from a refugee camp in Tanzania and Steve he's got two goals on the year. These
are the stories you love to hear. Absolutely, I know we've had a few of those taps of stories. Serious see how you seen him around the league. It really is brilliant, the global game bringing players here to this country. Kimongo comes across from his right side towards his left foot, strikes the ball just we were talking about him, picks up the ball, strikes the ball, but easily collected by stephan Frey for us his first shot in
the game and their first shot and target. So yeah, it's been really uneventful in terms of the action inside of boxes. A bit more action inside of dallas eighteen yard box. But for Stephanie Fry, you know, he's making his return after being out for a few days missing. You know, they're the last couple of games probably why he would have won it. You know, he's his way back into it. Hasn't had to do too much.
He's been more of an observer back there. But thirty minutes in the one air I mean, for the sound is not enough clear cut chances and an era we don't see the sounds too much. It's shot some distance. Russ Nack has the ability as as jar Parlow. The sound has almost want to get the ball into the box and a perfect cross, and it doesn't always work out in that way. All goes along towards two to tangle legs. Eventually he Chwe gets called for the free kick at Dallas, freaking the
far side to ride about twenty five yards from the end line. Dallas started to shift more to a four three three formation to Alaska playing on the left hand side, Oprihen through the middle, come and go on the right hand side and Junqua, who said a little higher, starting to play a little deeper on that left back position as ex roll Down continues to have a very
high starting position on this right hand side. Loose ball by FC Dallas giving away the R two picks it up, looked flick around the corner to Rosneck towards the R two got some space or some time, gets towards the box left hand side, goes along the six job back and it's a goal. It's an old goal, just what the Sounders needed. It was Christian roll Down again. There was crashing the box from a Leo two cross and we'll get a confirmation. But selling from my advantage point, it looked like it
was knocked in the goal by an FC Dallas defender. Whether Sounders won't care, it's Sounders one Dallas nil. And then I think you might be right, Danny, that this was an old board. But make no mistake about the approach pray that led to them. The little even board between Ruth Knack and Leo Chu. They've done it a few times, but course hit the post. A couple of close calls on that occasion the board found its way into the back of the net. Really really good played by Leo Chu.
The hard running by Christian rood Done is what causes that. Whether he got the final touch or not, it was his running. Christian rod Down, the willingness to run at full speed twenty yards thirty yards into the box forced Dallas into a mistake. The Sounders take a deserved lead here. They've been a better team and now have the goal to show for it. One nil Sounders. It was a wonderful finish, but it was by Juanqua in his
own own goal. But again, as we mentioned, Christian Roldon again crash in the box, putting the pressure forcing the FC Dallas left back to make that mistake. As we mentioned, the Sounders will not care. Brian Schmeetzer, that will not care us. A loose board by FC Dallas, give it back to the Sounders. Leo Chew the left hand side the box, try to took it to the back post, said well don't there again, it's just gonna roll over the end line for an FC Dallas gold kick.

No real options comes to Lazette, plays at square ten yards into Obrienne at Lagette to Keynon Threo and support ten yards away goes into Glasgow between the line sound as dude. Good job of collecting the loose ball, coming away
with it. Alex roll Dan top of his box, plays the board nicely into Robert Vargas Chick giveaway to play a little reverse blind pass see Dallas pick it up with Leste rolls it down to the outside to Kamungo. Challenged by Jackson Reagan. Good step by Jackson. Reagan gets a toe in, finds herself to Leo Chu trys to flick it around the corner. It's gonna come off jeseus the FC Dallas right back. It's gonna be a Sounders throwing fifty yards from the end line from the fast side the left. And for the
Sounders now it's managing the rest of the half. You've got about ten to eleven minutes for us, wherever we may or may not get for stoppage time. A second goal would be nice. What you want to do is you don't want to give Dallas any life. Continue to control the game, dictate the temple. When the chances to roll are there, especially with Leo Choose
running and roll downs running, those chances will still be there. But when you have a team down like this, so we have not seen from a Sounders outside of those early weeks in a season where you get one, you want the feeling that they're gonna get two, three, four, and you do that by continuing to be relentless, continuing to attack. So this next stretch, this next phase for the Sounders to close as half hour is a very very important stretch coming up. We talked about the winner by Yamar in
Vancoum was at a turning point. San Jose was a disappointment, of course, in terms of result. But you get all these big boys back, all the big name players back, either healthy or back from international duty. You don't care where that goal comes. As you mentioned, it just gets that momentum going. Yeah, gets everyone going. And you look at a bench. You have Niqualadero, a bet, Jordan Morris for very much. I mean, you have real options on the bench that the Sounders just haven't
had. It's been the kind of season where on any given night, someone somewhere's missing injury here, a national team call up there, and the team
is beginning to round back into shape. A winter night would make it three out of the last four, and suddenly things begin to feel good around here again, as a Sounders round out into a healthy squad that on their day can still absolutely tear anyone apart in MLSS or sound as four oh and one when leading at halftime, the season four goes until he zoos on the right
inside deflected off the FC Dallas defender. With a challenge from now, who's going to be a throwing for the Sounds the fat side the left, We'll ball into JP back to Nuge carries the ball forward. Good challenge looked like a good challenge sliding tackled by Obrian, but it was from behind it knew who goes to the deck where Free's going to call it back? It's got to be a yellow card. Spend like it matters by supporting bypark and diverse
owned businesses all year long. Visit intentionalist dot com to find a business near you for in the thirty seventh minute, here at e QC pitch looming field Sounders one FC Dallas nil the back of a Junqua own goal. The thirty second minute, as we mentioned, Brian Schevetz and his staff and all those players won't care sounds looking a little like the Sounders of old as they play on the front foot. The ball goes into Valasco middle of the field,
chased back by Christian Roldan. And it's that honesty that work right going back towards his own gold. Steve is as much as the work he does going forward. And that's why he's so valuable, you know, because that's not in any situation Christian Roldan's man or his job. But he's so good at sens him where the space might be, when a danger might be, and
then getting him getting himself there and did a very good job. They're recovering the ball from the Sounders and taking off the lascar or true laft corner of the parts. Try to find it Flixer to the end that most eventually collected by Alex Roldarn is misjudged by Juanqua. Sounders have it this nearside the right with Christian Roldar back to Yemar to JP, Flixer to Reagan. Reagan no wil pressure, but goes square to Yeymar Sounder just taking a moment, just
to take a breath settler. Ball given away momentarily by Obed Vargus, but collected on the rebound by the sound It's look given goal jps bas Alex Roldan tries to find the ball square to Rosneck it's clear as by Tafara, but finds the feet of opened Vargus. Good options, goes back to JP.
Alex Roldan hugging this near touchline, receives the ball back to JP. Christian rold On a little further forward providing support sound As possessing the ball well as we get towards the end of this first half of this thirty ninth minute leading one goal to nil. All over the top towards Christian Roldan willing run again seeing him get inside that eighteen yard but it's a number of times Steve already
silly Nady throughout that right hand side. It's just different. It has a different field to wear, and it's not just Christian because I think Christian making those runs it opens up the game for other players too. It's given Rosneck a lot based underneath and he's been fantastic in the number ten role today. Leo Chio on the other side, now he's facing War one on ones. He can't really double team and send extra players to the or two because you
have dangerous elsewhere as well. So what Christians game does, it expands what the Sounders can do. We've been cuts off getting clugged up on his right
hand side, having to play a different way. Just having someone who's a two way player of vertical willing to run in behind, he gives the sound As a lot more options in the second half and as as half as War on EXTI, Dallas have had no answers and it's one nil now, I think the Sounders with a push can find the second board against the Sea Esci Dallas right now have very little ideas of their own going forward, and they don't have an answer for the off the board running the sound as a hip
software as first half message, Brian Shamans've been keep focused, nothing cheap, no giveaways, so the Sounders can add another clean sheet to their eleven clean sheets they've already earned this season. Nine at home. They'll go away into Least cupbreak with another three points, pushing up further up that Western Conference table.
As a Sounders have the possession game, are looking for a diagle pass all the way across Jesu's cushion header to his goalkeeper rescue with Rosnack sitting right on the doorset, but Place throws it out to the Yette's able to carry it forward over Vargas coming across. Write some support. Kamongo further forward has to go back to Keno to Serreo to Tafari. It's near side the left right in front of the Dallas bench is Janqua. We scored that own goal
and opening goal from the Sounders with pressure from Christian rolled arms. Dallas now maintain a bit of possession than the sound As half of the field, but no real threat you mentioned, just the one shot and goal from Dallas zero point zero four expected goals. So Sounds continue their defensive shape right now, see the first half out they can get spoke to Brian Schmitzer if you mentioned they just look at different forced to know it. Dallas retained possession middle of
the field, they'll loose Sounds able to pick it up. The JP steps at the perfect time. Who's comes across cleans it up for FC. Dallas collects the ball middle of the field, goes to the far side, the right of the jette. Pressure by new It's back t b Rga in the middle of the field until as yet former New England LA Galaxy player Steve we Get into the forty second minute here lumin Field Sound is leading one goal to
nil and they have to do in the final few minutes. It's gonna see this whatever, Yeah, I think exactly what a Sound has been right now with Dallas have extended possession and with that Dallas quick as you can, ball goes into the jette, gets whipped into the box, no real pressure and Dallas the death here in this first half, silence the crowd and against the run of play. It was a simple crossing on the right hand side found Comongo in the middle of the field, in the middle of the eighteen yard
box. He was able to get the ball in the back of the net. Friday managed to get a hand on it right there on the Pacase spot free header back of the net. Third goal in the year for Kamongo and Dallas tied up. Sounders won Dallas one. I mean, we were literally in the middle of making a point about how well the Sounders have defended even when Dallas have had good possession, and then it's just a lapse in judgment
that that goal is gonna really really infuriate branch Mead song. It's too easy for a team of that many clean sheets you have the league, you're defending well. Dallas have offered nothing to have a simple run from the midfield right into the hearts of Sounder's defense, a wide open head night side the box. You just don't see that. Knew who and Jackson Reagan getting their wives crossing all sorts of ways and it came out of nowhere, simple cross running
into the box unopposed ahead of Stephan Fryed. No real chance, ball goes in the high ross that goes around the gold people who as the ant them this play touch back in the hands of the FC Dallas goalkeeper. There was a chance for both Russneck and then from the fallow Ruy. Theys couldn't get the ball out from his feet. Goalkeeper collects it, but a chance that
for the Sounders, a chance to take the lead right back. It was rude Yes turning playing Baker fighting Albert Russnack good goalkeeping and Raoul he'll be disappointed Movies touch here they let down. I thought there's maybe your chance to take it first time, keep us out of the boad. But even a better touch there to set himself up for a shot would have been good. Where it's a poor touch by Raoul and a chance Vanish. But it's game suddenly
bursting into life out of nowhere. Both teams were very direct pass to Bold and the sound has had a chance right there to take the lead back. He was not able to do so. Unfortunately, Sounds got a little stretch right now as fcdals pick it up again with as yet the assist maker for
Komongo tries to play it out to that same player. Bungles knew off the ball, GP comes across wins it eventually plays it to Leo Chu flipped around the corner to a russnack middle of the field goes back to Leo, who've got some space inside they efter Dallas got pulled down cynical lay by hey Zeus. It's gonna be a yellow card for the FC Dallas right back. Sounders were able to break up a transition attack by FC Dallas, play it quickly
through the lines. Was Leo Ju got dragged down for a free kick here in the forty fourth minute Sounders one FC Dallas one score update is presented by provident Swedish get towards the end of this first half see where the extra mile stop his chime is gonna be. But the Sounders do have an opportunity here because et Daals hold the top of the eighteen yard box restnet ball on the deck thirty five yards from the end line left of center. Jacksonagan this near
right card of the eighteen yardbox gonna make his running behind. Jesus gets flicked in towards Gaymark which she looks like there's a foul given by the referee Usama over the top the FC Dallas defender to be a free kick for FC Dallas remains one one see the tone and tenor of their halftime speech's gonna be vastly
different than it takes a It's going to be different. Then it's unfortunate because the times I put together, you know, take out the first five to eight minutes or so, a pretty compute four months have a misspectacular by any stretch of imagination, but have been in control and have just been solid. And to concede. If listen, if they actually dall us to make a ten past sequence, they break you down and they score you. Live with
that. It was a very easy goal to concede, and that's all will upset Branch met side should not be one one, but it is, and branch medsides are not thinking to do at halftime now well, no real extra mile stoppish time given as the referee puts the whistle to his mouth and blows
for halftime. It was a Junqua own goal after pressure from Christian World down a great fall from Leo Chow in the thirty se I com minute, the sounders on the board, but then a gates a run of play was a Kamungo head up middle of the eighteen Yah books flash past Stephen Fry to tie it up here at EQC Pitch at lumen Field. We'll take a short break, Jackson felt, so we'll be back to break it all down at half

Slash Premium Seating Jackson Felt and Brad Evans here for the halftime show. And Brad, that was kind of the definition of a great first half, dominating first half, but it only takes one moment and now it's a one one game. Yeah, this is soccer, right. The Sounders do so good in this game to get up and go one nothing, make the crowd have It's a fantastic crowd tonight with a great goal and then all of a
sudden, you fall asleep and things are out of sword as well. Watch this replay and all of a sudden you head into halftime at one one and kind of breaking this one down. Jackson gets pulled out a position and then all of a sudden, knew who has to tuck in and then that right flank is wide open. Jackson can't recover in time. JP has to slide outside and it's it's a great delivery from Sebastian and that's a good diving header, which is I think step would like to have that one back heading in
the halftime. The Sounders team will come out red hot in the second half. I think Ye had a right at Steven Fry. He even gets a hand to it but still goes in frustrating there for the Sounders. But on the offensive end, Brad, this was domination. I mean on the offensive end. We looked in between the twentieth and twenty fifth minute, the Sounders had ninety eight percent possession. That's a number you can't even make him ninety
eight percent. Offensively, this team looks more balanced, they look very much back and it does look like there is another goal certainly in them, especially considering by the way Nicholas Ladero and George Morris are on your bench. Yeah. Absolutely, and I think I think it's a case of I mean, Leo Choo has been fantastic once again, and it's a guy that we've been asking Jordan every time he gets the wall to just go at the defender because
it causes so much habit. It might not work every single time, but when it works eight out of ten times, you see what happens. It's in behind, lays the ball across, and all of a sudden, it's an own goal because you're turning defenders around. And ultimately, for the Sounders to score multiple goals, it can't just be a perfect cross perfect goal.
You have to turn defenses around. So credit to layout two good combination play with Albert Rusnak, and you expect this second half to continue in that fashion, minus that little blip in the forty second minute on the own goal. Sam junk was the one who gets the on goal for Dallas. Was he just trying to like lay it off to this goalkeeper and in that moment he
just kicked it right into the back of the net. It doesn't matter because that's the most difficult Imagine facing a giant goal and the ball is coming across. What are you supposed to do with it? It's a perfect ball. And that's what we teach everyone, That's what I teach my high school kids. You must get into good areas and turn around defenses because at that point
that's the most vulnerable place that a defender can be. They love, we love as center backs when the ball is in front of us because we can attack the ball and send it forward up the field. We can attack aheader and send it up the field. But as soon as I am turned and facing my own goal, that is the most vulnerable position for any defender.
And that was just a great service and a credit to Christian's run putting the pressure on because as a defender, you don't know if he's gonna be there to tap it in, so you just do anything that you can to hopefully guide it out for a corner kick. But in that one, you know, the defender unlucky and sends it into the back of his own net. Christian Rold's been great as well. He in another shot that went off the
post. Good to see CR seven back starting for the Sounders. Roll the Centers FC Soccer is presented by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders FC.

Taking a look at your Sounders benches tonight includes Nicholas Ladero, a Bear, Freddy Montero, step In Cleveland, Abisa Soko, Josh Atensio, Red Baker, Whiting, Cody Baker, and Jordan Morris. So, Brad looking at that and looking at who's out
there right now? What are the keys here to the second half and picking up three points? Well, I think these subs have to come in due time. And with Leo Chiu playing the way he's playing, I'm not sure that you can take him off. So now it becomes a question of do you bring Christian off because he played minutes midweek and bring Jordan on, give him, give him a run on the right hand side. You have to get Raoul hot, and to do that, he has to play minutes and
he's got to get shots. He's got to put the ball in the back of the net. He's got to combine whatever it takes to get him hot. But yeah, this is a strong bench. I don't see a bear coming on for Raoul. I think he stays on for ninety minutes tonight. Maybe you bring on Nico as a number ten for Rusnak and get him twenty minutes at the end of this game to see if he can unlock something also
and provide a little bit of a different look. Maybe you just sit JP by himself because I think FC Dallas will be happy with the way that this first half ended, and maybe they go four two three one, so you can push another attacking midfielder up there with rus Knack. Bring off Obit. Hey, I don't want Schmetz's job right now. That's going to be a difficult decision. I think in the past it's been easy for him to make subs and tonight's a difficult one for him to see what they're going to do
and how they make changes. We'll see what happens here. Danny Jackson, Steve Zachwanti have the call for the second half. Sounder fans. Budlight was brewed to be a delicious and easy to drink here.

So players get ready, Let's get this second half started. Sounds getting off the mark in the thirty second minute after a Junqua own goal and then he's a runner player. Dallas get the equalizing goal in the forty second minute with Kamongo for his third goal on the season. Dallas have some life again as the Sound has played really well in that first stuff, really dominated all areas of the field. They just couldn't get that second goal. You sho can
goal down off the post chance. Right after the Dallas goal with a combination of Russneck and then Ruy Diaz, the Sound has attacking the goal to our left wearing the Bruce Lee Awake It red shirts, black short black socks. FC Dallas decked out all white tonight, attacking the south end the goal so our right. The referee gets us going. Dallas started the game in the three, shifted to a four, Hunqua starting the left with a substitution for
Dallas. We'll get to that in one moment when we give it the lineups Tibiaga to Tafar, the higher line for the sounds coming out of the games, they came out early. Brian Schmetzer was a loan figure on that bench. Certainly his halftime team talk would have been a whole lot different than it could have been with that equalizing goal and Steve. Brian Schmetzer got a couple of important halftime team talks this season as the team trying to get back on
track. It played well the first half. Disc pointing goal, Brian Schmitzer tell his team, yeah, I think you'd have come in and you know, been initially frustrated, guys that when you play that well, you can't give a team such an easy way back in, you know. I think whether the breakdown was Jackson Reagan following he's he's banned too far, knew who, and John Parlon not communicating who should goal, Preston Crosser, who should track the run out of car from Jackson, there was a breakdown there.
They would address that thirty seconds forty five seconds and then really, folks and what it did well. But the feeding is, if there's a repeat of that first half, the sound has win this game and the key's gonna beat to do what he did well in that first half do it again in a second half. Cut out defensive lapses. And we've seen that creeping into this game, this team's game in the past few weeks, where you're prominently scoring,
very simple, direct bold sort of in Vancouver. Port had had a couple of goals as well against Sounders this season, So that's an air and I'll be off concern, but on the whole, had a good first half. This rampups a little bit more. Get Leo Drein involved, Christian, keep running. The chances will be there. It's buried. Let's get the lineup. No changes for the Sounders. Stephan Fry in the goal roll down ye more Reagan Knew who ob Vargas alongside JP and attacking three of Christian roll
down has been really lively in that first half. Rosnack Lee or Chew on the left, Rudy As up front, but a plethora attacking options on the bench as Knew launched it forward down the line e Vargas gonna let it slowly roll out of bounds. It doesn't. He turns away from pressure. Rosnack was challenging him, alls away that it's near side. The right walls into
Legite just got called on a yellow card. Trays to challenge. Gep tried to turn out of pressure right in front of the Dallas bench, rolls it out of bounds, and it's gonna be Geanqua who picks up the ball. So a slight tweak personnel and formation for Dallas. It's passing goal. It's gonna be a back four of Geanqua who moves from the left hand side to the right hand side. Players scored that own goal. It's gonna be Biaga Safari in the middle and then Seely Dante Seeley on the left hand side,
an attacking left sided player. It's gonna play left back. It's gonna be Cirio, Keion and Lagette in the middle of the field, and then Kamungo the goal scorer, Obrien and Velasco up front. As the ball travelers of the Thoras trser flicked around the corner. Dallas come away that challenge ballas d picks the pocket of Seely who his father, Scott Seely played for FC Dallas and then he serves as a player that played the quake forrest from him during
my time in North Carolina. So father and son both playing for the Teamers. Keyon gets called for the free kick twenty five yards from the end line, right channel. Free kick for the Sounders remains Sounders one, Dallas one. Well, this is an area the Sounders could have and should have done
better within the first half. The amount of corner kicks, three kicks in dangerous areas in these source of positions in the final third, and chance to send your big bodies up forward, get a good board into the box. But it was a white FC Dallas show pretty much first to everything that's on a Sounders in the second half, I take advantage of these sets opportunities and I'll guaranteed to get as ministably in the first half. It certainly Sounds have
been working on those set pieces. Scored two against Vancouver just last week. It's gonna be Jp right channel, gonna be this right before, it's gonna curll this one in, and that I was holding the line comes in and stark at chance. It was the goalkeeper parts of to come out and punch it. He did clash with Yamar, goes down to the deck, card remains down slow. He starts to pull himself up, but decent delivered the
sound as the top of the six yard box. Good committed punched by the goalkeeper clears his lines and seems so far Dallas have really held their line well in these three kicks. They really have. For the amount of corners and three kicks and all those five six seven egg in the first half, and at no one point was there a sound his head first on the board, even for a thick hard or for an opportunity on goal. Dallas his line is very, very solid, very compact, and the goalkeeper when he's needed
to be there has been there. So from a set piece perspective, FC downs have been okase in the run of Flay when they struggled. They really could not get a handle on the running of Christian roll down and then the combination between Russneck and THEO two really undid them as well in the first half, something the Sound has will be hoping to exploit even more of. In the second hand threl the middle of the field and finds itself to see it
on the fast side of the left rolls it too. Vlaska comes inside back to cereals Keio Vlaska middle of the path, flicks it from the center to this near side the right, challenged by New or your combination step over if there's a way there, or two comes away with it. New drives forward,
pulled back by Lagette. On a yellow card, it's gonna be really careful, certainly, the dynamically or Chew in the first off cause zus all sorts of problems and see much tactical to get the player who got a yellow card in the first off off the field, who doesn't get that second yellow
in the red Yeah, especially defending this sounded deft kind of side. The more dynamic side in terms of running from New who and Leo Chew guys who are going to force you to have to defend them, and sometimes you'll lose your feet and you can commit a farmer and listen, watch your on a yellow party. It really changes how you can defend it. So the sounds have to also look at them as long as they're on the pitch as air
is to really target and get after all. On the farther side, the left with seniors it goes down, it's going to be a free kick for FC Dallas, who come into blooming Field back of six loss at last eight saly, a midseason slump, the absence of Ferrara, who's been so dynamic for the team. Ten goals in the year for Ferreira, seven goals in Gold Cup, dynamic play for him during his spell of the US national team. As Jordan Morris and Christian Roldan come back national team duty. Christian Roldon
starting tonight, Jordan Morris on the bench. I'm shore will seem at some point during this game as if the Dallas habit with Senior, the fast sight that left tries to come inside were defended by JP. Talking to some of the Sounder staff during the week. Just the data on JP, the number of good things he does both with the ball and without the ball mentioned the first of just feels like a new DP signing to his injury back at the
CCL Championship last May. Zefter gals pick it up, Tafari finds a Blasco in the hole, turns away, he tries knock it down the lights. Obriann Ceiling provided support for his left back world challenged by Gamo it looks like it flips off the shints of seeing it, but it didn't. Yamar certainly believes it did based on his reaction. Refree is gonna drag Gamar back, but a little word. He had got a cheap yellow card last week talking to a referee in San Jose, and this time it's Yamar gets are talking
to by the referee. Certainly Steve on the replay, look like it came off seeing corn kick given. Yeah, don't understand why. Yeah, much frustrated there the referee, of course, not liking Yamo's reaction. But nice to see you not bought to the pockets. A nice quick word and move on. Now a corn kick for the signer to defend Lasco fast side the left being instring in corn kick with the right foot or Brianne this near bright corner I think six year Bocks comes in low, goes to O'Brien, finds
back to Laska, remains on side. Sound as when the board with Christian roll Dar knocks it down the line to Rudy Diaz. Been a quietness game so far. I just did a breakout goal. We thought he saw it. Ate Charlotte with that two goal performances, tries to get the pall pull. Then she gets down the line to Leo Chew when roaring up the field and support. Turns out well, he has bundled to the ground, baby Jaga, you know, pull up Leo Chew, have a quick word to
the sound as the left winger. A good quick break, good transition by the sounders, it was, and that was good to see from Ruthiyaz, as you mentioned, not really been involved too much, hasn't had too many chances for in his way. But one thing about Ruy Dias, you know, when he's locked in and on form, he's the dadd he gives you about off the board to he'll press the back lund. He'll has to,
he'll hurry. And it was his work there that eventually want to sound as the throwing which leads for this free kick, the foul on Leo Chew and another chance to get it board into the box and try to penetrate this FC Dallas back play, who was so far at least some strong post chieces Yep Dallas holding the line on the penalty spot twelve yards from the goal. They'll keep it commanding that six yard box, holding his line high came out last
time. Then a solid hunch got free kickers sound It's gonna jpe and swinging free kick flicks away the top of the box and already has brings it down well strike blocked. Rosne picks it up. Good quick first touch called back to open Vargus to GPT the center of the field. Right corner flicks it to Jackson. Reagan flicks off their head of Junqua just to lude Jackson Regan. I'm gonna be a roll over the end line for a Sounders corner kicker's
near side. The left remains Sounders one, Dallas one. Rosne walks over. Is gonna an inswinging corner kick the right foot. The delivery has been good, but Dallas have stood strong so far. I've defended their eating yard box well from these three kicks and corner kicks. Give the sixth corner kick for Sounders. Inswinging corner kick, flick drop to the six yard Bucks ask for a handball, nothing given. It was les Yette pointing to his chest.
Then she cleared out by Dallas for another corner kick for the Sounders. This their seventh corner kick on the game so far. Gonna be Rusneck two hands up in the air with Varner shore challenge by Obrien Rusneck goes around if I guess, keeps it back to Rosneck. Chris ball to Alex Roldan whips all in low to Yamo flicks it up into the air towards Leo Chow top of the box. Has a strong challenge by Aubrienne with his forearm. Nothing
given by the referee. This Flasco comes away with it, knocks it over top to her running kamongo, but it's the Sounders to pick it up. It's near side the left. Christian roll Dog showing finds the feed of Leo Chow to Rusneck to new good one touch played by the Sounders says JP switched the point of attack from this near side to the far side the right with Alex Rodan as he enters Dallas territory. Interesting control by Leo Choo's confidence in
the young man. Listen if you put it off the whole thing and gives as Dan innovation. If you don't, you better just hope if Dallas don't go out in the counter attack, which they did it. But I'd love to see that. You know, you want to give players that would to express themselves beat themselves and Leo Choo's certainly a confident man. Right finds the chur in the box, tries to size and it was a sliding challenge by
if Stickdals playing as Serio and we've talked about this before. Steve an experienced players, sees that coming. He drags his foot. It gets the colisions panet. Yes, and Leo Choo's almost too honest Hire and there's a situation where you're not diving, but you know the challenge is gonna come. The players go into the ground so early. Leo Choo doesn't have to jump over it. You just pop the ball. You stay there, you let him
hit you. That's the penalty kick and that will come of experience with Leo Chou again, he's doing the right thing, playing the honest way. But any contact dare that's if you're gonna tries to find out anent. The field picks up by the Sounders, loose ball by FC Dallas. Sounders come again dominant. The possession comround the second off. So far as we mentioned it was a Gaza runner play was the FC Dallas goal in the forty second minute.
It was a cross while as yet fell ahead of Kamando in the eighteen yard box from about twelve yards out beat Stephen Fryan before I got a hand to it. I wasn't able to knock it over the top. Put it in the roof of the net to tie it up here as we get to the fifteenth minute, and we'll talk about subceive at some point. But branch Metzer and plethora of options on the bench. Jordan Morris E Colordero A there Montero. I was rolled on. It's bundled to the ground. It's gonna
be a free kick for the Sounders. Sounders FC sock is presented by Provident, Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders FC. As a Sounders line up this free kick the fast the right. It's gonna be Rusne with the ball two yards off the touchline, thirty five yards from the corner flag. Alaska in front ten yards away. Was that whips it in good along the six yard
box? Just eludes Leo Chu. It's gonna roll out this near side the left, ten yards from the near corner flag for a Dallas throw touching a point there. Danny about the options available to branch menster I don't think it's a game where he needs to wait to not. I think you know, Nico Ridero has a good twenty five thirty minutes in him as the Jarott Morris who's wearing to go and get back into the mix of things after rejoining from the us NO national team in the Gold Cup, So I think he has
options there. Then you can always hold on to Montara and Abeth when if you later run, it's gonna interest to see just personnel wires what he does positioning you, because bringing any of those guys up, you're gonna have to move players around. So I'll be courtesy watched messer does from that perspective, But what a luxury to have the chance to bring on a Jordan Morris and
an equaladera winner chasing a boat at home. Well five one on one soundly started the season five seven and four since and we obviously saw the dynamic play of Jordan Morris playing as a number nine as Silian option up there as well as playing on the right or the left. Jordan Morris has played all alongside
all along that attacking line this season. Nine goals on the year. MLS also flies out tomorrow all the lee or Chow twenty five yards and goultures the fine Rude Diaz read well by Ibaga finds over Weam middle of the field, but again loose by FC Dallas. Love flick by Yama, Robert Vargas and Leo Chios near side the left five yards from the end line, challenge by Jean cour Whiptain well good flick headed by Rude Daz comes off the chess Afterafari
for a Sounders corner kick remains Sounders one Dallas one s Zaquani, but good play there by leon Chi and was fantasied the game beginning to pick up the pattern that it fell into in the first half. Dallas both fast came out in a good start, kept born a little bit and once the sound has got control of the game really began to apply pressure. And now this entire game has been played in the st Dallas harm how the Sounds more seeking for
the gold I get in the league. You have Stephani friving a spectator so far in the second half as Rusnak picks it up it's near side the left in swinging corner kick with his right foot over the Vargas top of the box, GP top of the box all comes in. It's a far post flicked again away by FT Dallas. They defended well so far, but GP knocks it up. Header by tax areating, good save by the FC Dallas goalkeeper. Pass It was as end swinging corner. A free kick crossed by JP
to the far post. Good solid header by Jackson Reagan and a good strong right hand by the FT Dallas goalkeeper. Is god be another corner kick for the Sounders. Golden Vargas comes to support that runs away. Ruddez bouncing inside the box, trying to find this box at the six yard Bucks goes short cho right off the training field. It was a really good delivered by Rosnac, kept it on the ground. Leo Chew slashed in front of Ibaga,
but his shot goes over the top for a Dallas goal. Kick remains sound as one Dallas one, and that's really good for the Sounds to mix it up. There haven't me getting much change, how DEFSI Dallas with the boards coming directly into the bottom the corner king so mix up a little bit dead.
That's an Andy Roll special. He's been working with a team on set pieces and it's a good chance for Leo Chew has gone too much underneath it and skies it over the crossbar, but some very good chancefer silence free kick on by Obrian on the Sounders be Sounders free kick on the halfway line, quickly played by JP finds the feet of Rosnack, who was able to play in the half turn out to the Leo Chew ten yards from the corner.
Flag challenged by Lusia and Juanqua. Let's go around, eventually cleared by Ibiaga, but picked up by Exit Reagan his own half for the field. Sounders are going to come again. Eleven men behind the ball for Dallas. All goes to the feet of Ruddyez flicks the board to the far side the right to Alex Roldan back inside square loose by Alex Roldon, cleaned up by Obert Vargas. Sounders come again. There's near side the left with new looking for
options. Nothing on Alex roll Dan available on the far side the right hide on that right hand side, but it's the ball with Leo Chun's near side. The left goes inside little loose Keon goes down what free gives a free kit with se Is there anything more for the referee it's gonna get a yellow card. It's not, says a little Wood for the central midfield player for Dallas has been effective marshal in that sense of the field. For Dallas, we start to see some action. Steve on the bench. Yeah, it
looks like Nicole Adero the first one summon here and not surprised. The only question of remaining as where does he come in? Conicoderoll? You know he's Christian roll dance and evening done? Does he come in from rusnag? Doesn't
darroll coming from fathers and you drop rusknack backs? Certainly options there, but what's a player to bringing on With twenty five plus minutes to ball here all of the top towards the end line's Christian roll down inside the box cuts it back off the toe of Lushette played by Dallas when it finds the feet of new Good break again by the sound as the time was Christian roll down on
that right hand side again. We saw it so well in that first half as JP switched to the point of attacks the center to the far side the right with Alex Roldan collects it. Eventually in the second touch us back to Yama Good incisive played by the sounder, says Jackson. Reagan drives it loose ball by Jackson. Reagan just finds the feet of the Dallas head go jest of this. It's gonna be a throwing four Dallas down the line to Lugette
in sign to keyon. Pressure by Russneck has to go back to Junqua switched from this is left back spot to this near side the right Seeley comes in on that left hand side. It's a halftime substitute. Pressure from Sound as high. Ebaga finds the feeling as yet tries to flick it around the corner. Loose again by Dallas. Easy giveaway. Sound has come away with it. Pressure on the back of Ruy Diaz by Safari Bungalow. It's gonna be
sound as free kickers. The assistant referee puts his flag up. It's gonna be JP And so what do you make of that? Steve unlikely? Well, I can tell you what Je b mats of it. He was very surprised. You'd think maybe that's something I was discussed beforehand, But asserting Jane, he came out in midweek, so he's a bit rested and he's understandably fresh. Rain he has every right to be fresh rain here John Barlo,
because it's a one on one game. Petitar and listen, Nicoder are coming on into antatic obstitutions to have, but to a part of the not look happy there and cannot say I blame him in that situation. You have to think we have a lot of different options on a piece of paper. JP coming up was not on the list. The boat comes into Rosnan, cleared
again easily by Dallas. Ball drops into Obrian Top the box shots to find commando glow combination pushing roll down to ruin the asstress get it, Top of the Box just gets his legs tangled and lifted Dallas, with Celie able to
come away with it, Dallas again falling into the same track. They start a half well, keeping the ball looking at somewhat dynamic an attack, but as the half wars on, just like in the first half, being forced further and further back towards their own bard, it looks like they're going to go to their own bench as well. But the sound is pretty much happy
their way. It's just a case of not creating chances, and unless I'm mistaken, I don't think the sounds I'm really still testing the goal camer maybe one shot on target, the Jackson Reagan shot on target, ten shots and Gold one shot. You know you have the own goal and the Christian has done off the post, but those don't counters on target. So for order possession, order probing still would have RIGHTD to have worked the goal. People
are a lot more than they have. Well, let's just confirmed the shift for the sound. As Ladera came on the field for JP, Russneck dropped alongside obed Vargus in the middle of the field and it's gonna be Ladero who's gonna play as the ten. So it's not a photo confidence for obed Vargas as much as anything. It's got something to speak to Schmittz after the game.
And again this maybe something we don't have. We're not privy to the data load management, the minutes, where's JP And there's a lot of things that go into these decisions. Because JP did get a little break in sandals A and you're just surprised to see him coming off so early in the half when the game is so well poised. He's playing really, really well and he was surprised, so he clearly thought he's gonna go ninety minutes today.
But you have Nikoladero on the pitch again, not necessarily a bad replacement to happen. Well, the way the game was playing is there was a central midfield was going to dictate the tempo, dictate the player of Sidallas who were happy to sit back, because that allows the central midfield players dictated day afore Vargus will come up. I think Russknack dropping is understandable. But having Russ
Nack and JPD especially, you're not defending much. But Dallas aren't offering too much offensively, so you think Russnick and JP are you're two best on the board. With Nico in there, now you're gonna really dominate possession. And you've got Leo two on one side Christian on the other side. But listen,
branch Master has more info than we do, and there's JP. You have to come off ball inside to Ruy Diez spins Well founds over the Vargus, who shifts and from center the past side the right aushold down for the arts from the end line right channel comes inside, get loose by auxhold down a couple of loose passes in the second half as F Sidallas transition quickly all over the top. Seele's looking for that Diger ball from Alasco is gonna be
bundled over. See's gonna follow up that looks like a player to slow the game now and see the referee pulls in backing. These are gonna pull CD back. It's gonna be a couple of changes for FC Dallas. It's gonna be the goal scorer Kmongo. It's gonna come off the field. It's gonna be Dispell. It's gonna come on the field like for like switch the Alasco as well. From those changes to the Eugene answer, it's gonna come on
the field. Signed this week from the Israeli Premier League. There's seventeen goals over ninety six games. Makes NLS debut tonight. All goes down the line to Nicoladeo towards the end light tries to flick it around the quarter. Keyon comes across. It's gonna be a Sounders corner kick. The Sounder Steve continue at Pepper the eighteen yard box and this time is ladera out swinging corner kick header again by Jacksonmaker. This time he flicks off his head. It goes
to An the house players. He runs down the line, all down the line. It's gonna be cleaned up by Alex roll Dan if you still have Joe the Morris of course, Steven the Wings and we started to see Joan Morris sick and last sip looks like he's gonna be entering this game momentarial and this will be an interesting one because you can go straight lightfu Lack with Roodas, like Fu Lack with roll Down, like for Lag with Leo Chu.
It really just depends on what Branch Master seeing where he wants to exploit the space. You know, you'd think you'd like to have a combination of who we das and Jordan Morris and Leo Chu. Can you get him on the pitch and sums in some way? Do you drop back Madero next to Russ and I can get Vargus out there and find a way to squeeze everybody in.
So certainly some choices for Branch Minutes to make here. But again, just like with Madero having a luxury to bring on Jordan Morris, it's not something that's been available to the Sound of Seaboard season long, having such a strong bench. So this is a positive change to bring down with twenty plus minutes to vote, as you search for a winning vote, all over the
top, he says. A referee puts this flag up for tonight's match is presented by Tequila head of Daughter an extraordinary, ultra premium hundred percent at Garve Tequila extraordinary awaits please drink responsibly. An extraordinary is about to come on the field as well. In Jordan Morris ground of applause for Leo Chew. Just a really good twenty twenty three campaign so far for Leo Chew, three goals an eight assistently and listen to the crowd. That's Jordan Morris back on the
field after returning from gold club duty. Scored in the PK shootout just a few days ago against Panama, set up Ferrera's tying goal. It was a Sounders player flipped it onto an FC Dallas player to put it to Pek's And now the Sounders have got a Morris, a Ladero are rolled on and a rude Diaz the attacking forced. He it's pretty good and again not many times
the season call we say that. But the challenge now for the sound is this it's been good today, not great, not excellent, and I think since the Dallas scored and the majorities of the second half, they've been relatively comfortable. FC Dallas off sounds have to really press the issue a lot more
all down the line. First touch for Jordan Morris as he gets pressed by Juanqua, goes inside well to Rosnak who steps forward, plays the ball to the Darro towards the end of the last side of the box, whips it in, goes low, hen slips lets it on the second attend by pass and the FC Dallas goal. It was rudy as it flashed to the front post, miss the initial class because the goalkie was able to pull it into
his chest. The threat from Jordan Morris on the left hand side with Leo two is quite similar, but probably a lot more off the board running the old two lets to get the ball trip well that guys, Jordan, Yes, he can run past you by just as well can run by you without the board. And so those passes in behind him. The likes of Russ Knack, the Dre or even knew who from time to time are going to be on as er Jordan William Crown's so far FC Dallas in possession. Ceiling.
That's a surreal to Keion. It's a ceiling. Fast light the left Dallas now just putting their foot on the ball, trying to get some timer. Spaces will be one with Alex holl darn whips it in, eventually cleared by Jackson Reagan. There'll be our cushion header to Junquas go all the way back to pass in the FC Dallas goal.

The ball runs through a whole horde of FC Dallas players, eventually gets dragged down to give you a free kick for the Sounders. From moment thest it looked like it was through running into a sea of five white shirts.
Got the foul, He've got a file found his way, but I lighted the referee let that play developed because the advantage was on Jordan Morris had a sea off space here on the left hand side and branch Mets and his staff golf there sees ten rough three the same thing that he brought him back. Yes, give the farm. If you're not booking the player, then
let the advantage goal there. Sometimes even if you're booking a player in that situation, the sound as much prefer Jordan Morris running this organized back line. Then given FI Dallas the chance to get back and get organized. New who plays the ball from this left channel to the fast side of the right to Yamar, carries it on forward to fishing Roldan back to Yamar. Leaven then behind the ball for FC Dallas line of confrontation ten yards inside their own half
of the field. As the ball goes to the far side the right with Alex Roldan challenged by Seely comes inside F Dallas holding strong right. Now back line of four crucial. Roldan comes alongside the eighteen yard box, plays a short roban Vicus goes to Jordan Morris's this corner of the left comes in his right foot, looks up to shoot and saw that yesterday in practice coming off that left, shooting on his right. If the ball comes it's near side
the left with new flick around the corner. Wait cheap by Nuru's caught two minds whether you're going to rossneck or come back to obed given away cheaply as jet knocks it down the line. Cushion header by Vargas till adera flick around the corner, top of the boxes. One extracts the ball just why twenty two yards out left corner, left side of the eighteen yard box. Struck it well but dragged it wide. Gold kick Dallas remains sound as one FC
Dallas. One sees that corner, but we want to see more of that from the sounds. A shot from distance and Albert Rossnack he has the quality We've seen it throughout his career to find the distance from outside the box because the sounders so far have really struggled to create chances getting it behind the crosses.
And he mentioned from set pieces or open play for the most part of being well defended by f and I think for us much of the border Seattle has had and as little as involved a Stephan Friesman, there's just not been enough action around the goals, and we're heading towards what would be a disappointing. Two points dropped if it stays like this yet with the ballers near side the right uses all that experienced pressure mobile Vargas silly cheek fell given away by
the Sounders midfield players. Going to be a free kick for Dallas. It's near side the right, twenty five yards from the end line, just three yards in from the touch line, Steve, those are the moments that Brian Spets would pull his hair out, lower pressure by the jet's going away from the goal, away from Yeah, let him set the border back to be
Sounder backs were in good shape. Will organized. Now you can give a team you really haven't offered anything going forward, anything offensively, a chance to dump the ball into the box or some confusion and as we know, from a set piece like this, anything can happen. Dallas with the free kick, it's near side the right, Las yet with right foot curls at it and handed down just wide of seven Fries left post with Ibiago, who got up about twelve yards out, headed it down for the sound As was wide
of the goal. As the ball gets in play quickly to obed, Vargas eventually gets it from Rosne Lindero just get wandering on this left hand side for I test to find the ball, hits it back from a this clarens by
junquat it's near side the left. George Morrison's support goes back to Obed Vargas d the middle of the field gets to switch it from center to the far side of the right, but he does push and rolled on inside from that right midfield spot goes to Alex Roygan thirty yards from the end line and nothing.
Ford has to go back to Gamar. Then she Gamar out from the far side the right Cush rolled on hugging that touch line the far side to Alex Roldan little cupball to Rosne Sounds trying to find that gap, that space that chances to get the second goal to get ahead on the night and a bike or three point in this Western Conference game between FC Dalls Sounders, remaining one one here at EQC bitch looming field in escort that he has presented right
to HeLa Herodora as George Morris hasn't left one of the box go short to open Vargas who runs the ball from this this had and left to the middle to Jackson Reagan drown ball into Christian roll darn towards the five post journa Morris
added down and the far while the Dara blocked on the line. It was two wonderful chances for the Sounders. A really good ball by Christian roll Down found the head of Jordan Morris, and we saw that at the very beginning of the season that combination from roll Down to Morris this sound the gold made a safe Sounders couldn't get it. See's chronic, but it's an excellent, excellent board by Christian wrote down and he had two targets in there, both
very good options. It just alluded ral Ruy Diaz. But Jordan Morris doing what you're taught to do, opposite side window frame the back poles makes a great run of good headed Down does everything right. It's a good save and there was a massive chance on the rebound for Nicoadero. But FC Dallas also responded well getting bodies in the way. That's the process. The Sounders have come to regain in their lead. As the clock winds down and we start
approaching the eightieth minute. Here at the movement field and if you field attention grind, there's three points down the table from the Sounders. This would be two points. Rocked Cars makes another really brillly important save brought in in the middle of twenty twenty two for FCU Treks and Dutch League in four seasons there and for a real solid start to his FC Dal's career. As FC Dales started to build out the back of the bargure inside his own half of the
field, finds Serea and the whole switch to the wharf. Has senter to this near side the right with Obreen would be one versus new News. Stands him up well, hookes the ball away from the FC Dallas winger there, who holds his right ankle, scrolls down on his knee to take a little look LEFC Dallas get the ball going, referee calls it back. Now who's just gonna shake off that little knocking his ankle from that collision? Does efter Dallas have to throw right in front of the sound of his bench. Jun
Quote with the ball, throws it short of the jep. Good powerful header by Jackson, make a click around the corner by Christian rold On. They'll loose on the touch by Rudas, but he cleans it up really well. Pressure from Seeley Ladera so Gamar to the fastide the right with Alex Roldan pushing rolld On won't make it a run down the line. He gets it challenged by Sea Paul in Safari closes it out, clears it drops too, and some drops it down the line cut out well by gamer. They're loosing the
could have maintained possession. Bar goes out of bounds the fast side of the left for a Dallas throw. Still the Dallas seve we're gonna be happy the way that they come in, got a goal against a running play step and Price being really quiet for the most part of this game, as well as frustrating nights to sound and so far. Yeah, and at one nail he really felt like, you know, it's gonna it's gonna be a routine victory for the Sound as we felt it. I'm pretty sure it's Dallas felt it
get a goal out of knowing against the running player. Really poorly defended goal as mentioned. And now it's one one and they listen, they might sense us, hey, hey we can nick one. We may be able to get a set piece of another mistake board into the box. So this game still finally balanced and branch Mensters still has options. There's Montero, there's a bear, you know you one nice Christian rod Dan can go to nineteen minutes and starts to go down a little bit not as dynamic in the second half.
So there's still our options for branch Metsar to really push Jenero to try to pick up three really much needed points at home Rose middle of the field in the center circle. If it wasn't forward now pressure, if all goes into the feet of Ruin, he has does worlds back to gold and then she finds Oulexrol darn In factor Ruin. He has getting more involved in the game. And I mention when it becomes deep, ends of the lane comes
crashing into Ladero and for the substitute that is a yellow card. It's gonna be as sound as free kick thirty five yards from the end line in the right channel. Another chance for the Sounders to deliver a ball off a set piece, because it remains Sounders war on FC Dallas one here in the eighty second minute. At times a season we've been able and right me so to criticize the Sounder set piece of the three. That's not the case tonight.
Russ nag Jo Parlow and even Ladaris. Since he's been on they've gotten really good board. It's just been very well defended base and Addison's got to be said, and so it takes one and for the Sounders this will be few and far between as the clock winds down. So it's very important that Ladero's
on the same page as the runners. The runs are deliberate, they're strong, they're direct, the unbalanced Dallas because otherwise it has been really comfortable for dealing with he said pieces all evening wrong orst of Dallas Rose Lilada on the ball and rosenaks ser come and reset the ball because he looks like he's gonna put a little short ball to Ladero as it straight off the training field again as we mentioned handy Rose, but all sorts of things up as Label sees
all the Sounders have in store for this one. As Rosnac now takes three steps back, two hands up, Ladera moves away, gets whipped in, get headed well by Celia Away, but Robert Vargus picks up the pieces. Top of the box comes back to Alex Roldan no pressure on the balls. He flicks it to the far side to Jackson, Reagan headed down crashes into the back of an FC Dallas defender. It's gonna be a free kick for Dallas. And again, as we mentioned, Steve Dallas just holding strong,
bending not breaking. Yeah, and I will say that Ben, you're not breaking. But they're having to bend too much. You know, we haven't seen buys having to fly around me. Can saves their fright and center asked this tackles yes, the Jordan Morris said, up to the Daro rebound,
that was some exciting action around the box. Aside from that, the Sounders I've been in controlled moving aboard well, but still around the box, not too dynamic, not enough chances creating that will disappoint branch Mets for the amount of board they've had so not I've created more today. Jordan Morris through the middle right arrows the Darro Chris to find him. Its Dallas to come away with it down the line for answer heavy touch over the end line for a
Sounders goal kick since the referee confirms it. The Sounders fans, if Sounders FC scores anytime after the eighteenth minute during a whole match, you'll have the chance to win free Lasic surgery from sharp vision, modern lasic and lens. Sign up today at Sounders fc dot com slash laser focus. Here in the eighty fifth minute, you could see pitch blooming field Sounders Dallas tied up at
one. There's knew who gets dragged down once again for a sound is free kick just inside the Dallas half of the field, left of center was Rosneck puts the ball on the ground, plays in short to Ladero, Morris and
Christian rolled on the field for the sounds. The ball for Christian Roldan tries to find ruy ds, very similar to the combination of Lugette and Commongo for the FC Dallas goal in the forty second minute in the sound for the sounds he couldn't connect and pars and the FC Dallas goal is just going to take his time. The booze from the crowd recognizing the time wasting for the goalkeeper, but the goalkeepers doing his job trying to find that result for the FC
Dallas not having won once in the last sixteen games. As they're tied up here at one, yellow carpe keyon for flicking the ball away and the Sounders are trying to get this game and going quickly as we get in the last into the last five minutes of regular time here in the second half, I see we're talking and speculate about subers. We don't see much activity on the bench right now, and not real players any warming up the best of jogging
around. And I think he said Brands played his cards. He's got his strongest attacking line up on the field now. As the ball comes towards the post, Junqua takes no chance. There's knocks it over the end line for a sound as corner kick. Listen, there's a good left and I think now for the Sounders. Wolff to play the clock for the Sounders and everything after be a big crip card in Dad it team trying to get a three
point victually that it's gonna be slow and you're gonna take their time. Wall comes in house swinging corner flicks away by FC Dallas, headed again away by FC Dallas in the follow up by Rsnacker. So now has come away with it. Good played by answer vers Na goes barreling into the subs it too. It's gonna get a yellow card for those for that challenge again and just an other somewhat needless fowl in a really soft area. Yeah, I mean it was two of you. One you had come from Obiit Vargas. They
won't really going anyway in that situation. Ef DAAs signed bild him out of a free kick. We'll be curious to see if Danas send anybody forward. It doesn't look like it. This is a team very content to get the point and then head back to Texas. Whether sounds there's still enough time here every the seventh minute, which should have see some time added on the amount
of stubs you've had, yellow car stoppages and player. You assume we'll see at least a couple of minutes, maybe three, maybe one more big chance for uds, maybe one more well, ebody else making a lates up here in the eighty seventh minutes. Gonna be Obrihan's like a good outing around the line, well honest work from the attacking player. It's gonna be Herbert ender Lay, the twenty twenty three draft pick from Indiana University. It's debbut back
in May Lively player will be a lightful like swappers. It's on this right outside of the field spot lagette cushion head and two ends of it stepped in by new one. Well all goes towards John Most isn't able to collect it. It was good played by Nus stepped in one the ball could second touch
pass Jodan Most couldn't pull it down, but now it's sealing. Could all fly forward and zeb Lang knocks it back to Sarrea back to and seb Lenge She's see but give it away by Esse Dallas and Ladera plays it into Rui the hous off his chest collects the ball, Well turns out of pressure, is able to turn in the middle of the field and it's all short of open Vargus. No real options for it has to go back one touch pass by Nude or played by the Sounds. They build through the lions back to
open Vargaus. It's near side the left. Ladera picks it up right in front of the Dallas bench. The sound is trying to find that see Zakoni mentioned that one chance to break this open find the three points to get here in the eighty ninth minute, over Vargas, that's nearside the left. When he asked in the end like back to New curls it in towards the far
post. See he fix it over by pressure for Manx Roldan back to Christian runs to shoulder, comes to sache Rosna for the yards from goldwife said to great ball by Rosnack in the eating the ard box, and there was an opportunity for Alex Roldanni got in behind by a wonderful pass by Russak. Just couldn't find this man on the cross. It's when he sound as corner kicksts aquatic arm and there's an exception of fast by able Russnach. There really is.
And I'm just wondering if anash rod Don doesn't see rude Ys because he dress us off lifted. It's an in between board. It doesn't really do much in the end the sounders claiming a handboard. I'm not sure it was. But rude das along the ground maybe the better option there. Sounderself for a pornic kick when Ritticks listening to his earpiece corner king, he's gonna come in right there, sit in the sun's left foot in swinger hit it clear
again by FC Dallas. Ball comes in second at ten clear back to Farry again top of the box over Vargas stripe by the young Manager's why it was a confident stripe by over Vargas by all of thirty yards, struck it with the outside of his right foot. It was just narrowly over and wide. A passes left hand posts, the chance that confidence strike a substrike. Goalkeeper's beating, We're seeing it from behind. It's the technique hits across the board,
so it's always bending away from the goalkeeper. If that's a foot law, it'sn't a top warner. And we're celebrating one of the wartime great winning goals here at Howard Field. The extra mile Scottish time is gonna be three minutes. Slim's got three minutes here to find three points, get that winning goal. As the ball goes long, bounced a couple of times, NW
who's going to clean up with his right foot. We'll roll it back to Stefan Fry and the Sounders goal being extremely quiet in this first half of the second half, make three shots on goal for this entire game. F Dallas
the all important equalizing goal for forty second minutes. The ball goes down the line to Christi roll dark in the whole ninety minutes, it cuts inside, they flicking in off the backside of an FC Dallas defender and surreal, that's roll darn plays doing this left foot goes towards the back post of the argum clears it all comes in by Dara. The argu goes down heavily bread the as it gets called for the free kick and for FC Dallas it's going to
be a moment to breathe. A free kick in their six yard Bucks remains Sounders one, FC Dallas one and the score up ding is presented by Providence Swedish and it's a sense of sort of collective disappointment here for a night. I promised so much that one of the sounds to score first they did, got ahead, were in control, there was that floppy goal before halftime, and haven't really been able to kick on in the second half and that onslaught
that surged towards the FC Dallas going really hasn't come. I've paid well in moments, but in the final third it's not been sustained enough, not enough says, not enough shots, good possession, good ideas, but it's been
nothing more than that. And in the end FC Dallas I've managed the cropwell defendant set piece as well, and looking like they're working their way towards leaving the Pacific Northwest with a very very valuable point world For a Dallas team, as we mentioned, six losses in their last eight games, sound is a plethora of attacking options all available to Brian Schmitzer made his subs Morris came on
the field, that Dari Start in the bench came on the field. Yeah, we'll be very curious for the job Parlo substitution because you just with Dallas offering so little in the terms of attack, you kind of maybe sacrifice Fargus a bit more and then got job Parlow next to Russnach Waverlader. Or now you have three guys who are masters on the board and you can create a
lot through the center and track numbers there. Then you've got Leo two on one side or John A. Morris when you came home pressure well down on the other side. There's no options there, So we courtesy Bransmashons thinking behind that substitution. You know, still looking at the stats there, it's kind of symbolic of the entire season. Fifty eight percent possession, sixteen shots and goal sixteen shots with only two shots on target. And that's been the problem
and that's been the problem. The two shots on target were both headers Jackson Reagan and Johanna Morris, good crosses. Dallas stood strong to both of those. Outside of that, nothing really in behind, no open play chances, and yes hasn't really had the look seed of one in either. So in the end it's looking like a disappointing night that really promised so, but it would be a case of two points drop for the Sounders and absolutely a point
game for ext and gradis three. I'll flick header by Christian Roll. Dan finds the feet of Ladero. Sound is going quickly now as we pass the three minutes of a lot of injury time. Viago went down as the refere gonna add another minute or so to get the sound as that one more opportunity to find this winning goal title three points. We go to league's cut break or get shifted from this near side the left. On the far side of
the right, Alex Roldan Christian ball to Christian Roll. Dan possessions on important now is getting the ball in the box. Finding an opportunity to try and get that winning goal. Well comes to Jordan Morris's near side the left, plays the ball inside short to over parks again negative by the sound As. Nothing forward. I have to go sideways and back. Brian Schwetching gonna hear him demanding his players work a little bit harder. The ball goes in the
box, cutback, Surrio picks it up, plays the ball. It's gonna run out of bounds. We'll look at the rep reef. He's gonna put the whistle to his mouth. Nothing so far. He's gonna let this time go by us. We get into the ninety fifth minute of three minutes and a lots of time. All goes into Jordan Rus easily cleared by eb Yaga. Referee. Referee just thumbs up to the FC Dallas bench. They're demanding the whistle to go. As we get here, the right hand sign ripped
in by the Sounders, cleared off the back. Head of Safari was headed clearers play Vaga come off the back of his fellow defender. It's gonna be over the top the Sounders corner kick well, one more chance, but there are a risk over there. The wist is gonna go after this weather the balls in the back of the net Orson rolls head. One more chance for a Sundaments ball comes in six yard bucks flick flip back post cleared and the referee is gonna allow one more corner kick. The FC Dallas staffy is just
up on their feet. We're here in the ninety sixth minute. This will be the last chance. Rusnap ball on the deck in swinging corner. King comes in headed, cleared by Dallas and there's the referees whistle. It was
a hard earned point for Dallas and a disappointing night for the Sounders. Promised so much with an early goal in the thirty second minute by Jean qua own goal, but then against the runner play just before halftime in the forty second minute, Kamongo got loose in the eighteen yard box and put his head pass Stephen Fry to tie it up at one. Stevio final thoughts frustrating. It's a frustrating one because he played well enough to win, but never really kicked
on. I thought the control of the game was there for the fourth point of first half and a second half didn't generate enough chances from that, and I think for the Sounders and NeSSI Dallas team that came here content for the point, I just want to see a little bit more so, it's a frustrating two points dropped by the sounder.

you by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC. The Sounders Seen FoST match show starts now well, it's a final from woman Field. The points are shared here between your Seattle Sounders and FC Dallas. One one is the final. Both goals scored in the first half of thirty second minute owned goal by Dallas created by Leo Chew and then a forty second minute goal for Dallas a header it gets past Stephen Fry and nothing in the second half.
Despite the fact that the Sounders dominated once again in possession and in a lot of areas. It is a final of the one to one Jackson, Felts and Brad Evans here for the postmatch show. We'll be here for the next twenty five thirty minutes or so to break this thing down. And Brad, I mean, really, the number one word going through my brain is frustrating. I'm just immensely frustrated that for a match that the Sounders dominated throughout
so much of we can't get three points. Well, you do this to yourself, right, You go in and you get a lead in the first half, and you think that things are peachie clean, and then all of a sudden a little disorganized in the back and Dallas punishes you. And then all of a sudden you're playing against basically what feels like twenty five men in the back in that second half. And we always knew that the Sounders were going to come out and push and try to get that second and third goal.
So it's not that the Sounders played bad. This is not going to be a postgame show of what they ultimately did wrong where they looked bad tonight. They played well for ninety plus minutes it's just a matter of fact of now you come into a team that doesn't have its normal starters, and so they're not going to be in the second half pushing to get that result. Yes, in the first half, I think Dallas opened up and the Sounders
came out and we're able to capitalize on their mistakes. And then the second half, you always knew that they were just going to sit back and they were going to be just try to get out of here with a point. At the end of the day, it's good for them. If you're gonna play for a point forty five minutes, you're always going to do it in the second forty five. And so, yes, frustrating for the Sounders,
not able to get it done tonight, frustrating for the fans. Credit to them for sticking it out because the Sounders certainly looked like they were going to get a second in that second half. If you absolutely are the fact that the Sounders played well, I mean they dolinated in possession. The passing was ninety percent, and a lot of that passing happened in the final third and in and around that and just trying to find the right angle. But at
the end of the day, Brad. I mean, for as well as they played, I think, you know, right up at the edge of the box, it comes back to finishing right and at the end of the day not being able to finish. And you know, some of it is a little bit unlucky where you know, Jordan Morris is header in the seventy eighth minute is saved and OVD has a shot from distance that's you know, just a foot and a half, you know, right off off the top
beat in the upper right. I mean say these little things here and there, but at the end of the day, it is missing that finishing ball. Yeah, you know, soccer is a game of counterattacks and its mistakes capitalizing mistakes from other teams, and Dallas didn't really make that many mistakes in the second half. They've really played a good low block and their goal was to get out of here with a point. And any team that is going to go away from home they've won one game in nine is going to say,
hey, we have forty five minutes to lock it down. Let's get some confidence and move forward and get a point. And so we do this in training all the time. As attacking team, you're always gonna play numbers up against a defensive group that's just gonna sit back and now can you break them down? And sometimes when you look at it, it's purely a numbers game, and it has to take something special like that shot from distance. If that's a foot lower, it goes in the back of the net.
You know, the keeper comes up big a couple of times for them, and just some of those crosses from Nico just an inch or two off. And it was just that kind of night for the Sounders in the second half. Just not able to execute and really get it done. Yeah, absolutely so. I mean, yo, get the stats here, sixteen to three shots, But I'll focus on this part. Both teams had two shots on
target. A lot of shots for the Sounders, well, only a couple of them are actually on frame, one of those being Jordan Morris's header that was saved in the seventy eight That might have been the Sounders best chance of the second half, where then a follow up shot from Nick go is blocked. I mean, I just wrote on my sheet, damn, because it really felt like that that might have been it. Uh. The thing that
I'm looking at two is fourteen to one on corners. Bratton and that's this is a team that, you know, you look at the Vancouver game, excellent on set pieces and at the start of the year excellent on set pieces. It just kind of feels like, I don't know if the service wasn't there. I don't know if it was just kind of an unlucky thing here and there. But for fourteen to one on corners, that's one thing that I'm looking at saying, you know, that is something that the Sounders.
If you're going to dominate that much on set pieces, you need you need to score one of those. Yeah, Well, the service has to be consistent, yeah, and the runs have to be consistent as well. So is it a matter of the Sounders are consistently going to try and isolate Jackson and get him free and he's gonna win the knock Like in Vancouver, he's gonna win the knockdowns and get up And then late in the second half he did. He got called for a foul. But that's the one that they've
been looking for all day long. And so I don't see a rhymer reason behind the set pieces specifically, and especially tonight on corner kicks. And it just leaves me wondering when you have that many corner kicks, you have to get something out of it fourteen and to get nothing out of it is something that the guys will have to go in and look at and say, how do we get better at this? Is it a matter of who's going to take the corner kick? Do we need new set because it's a set play
at the end of the day, right, it's a set play. So just like basketball, just like football, these are the only time in soccer where you really get to run plays. And I remember always working in two, so I was the guy that I knew I wasn't gonna win the header, but I was always trying to isolate Chad Marshall the best I could, So I wouldn't even look at the soccer ball when it was being taken. I was looking at my defender, knowing he was here. I was looking
at Chad Marshall's defender. Wherever he ran, I would just step in front of the defender and make sure that he was alone. And I don't see that right now from this team, really trying to isolate Yamar and Jackson and really get them free so that at least two of them are challenging for the ball, one on the corner of the six and one at the back post.
And that's what I think is missing right now. And I don't know if it's a matter of they just don't know what they're supposed to do or they're just laying the ball up hoping that Jackson's tall and he can hit the ball. Well, listen, this is the last MLS game for the next month or so. Next MLS game is going to be Atlanta here coming up in the deep end of August. It's League's Cup until then, so in terms of MLS action, Sounders have some time to figure out set pieces.
But listen, I agree with you wholeheartedly. See at fourteen corners and getting nothing out of it. That's a big issue. So Sounders LA have time to figure that out. Well, I'll tell you that we'll go through a lot here on this post match show. We'll get to the Emerald Queen Casino

Get on the hund and call Hunts Welcome back to the post match show Here from Emerald Queen Casino pitch at Loomin Field Jackson Felton Brad Evans here on the post match talking about a one one game between Sounders FC and FC
Dallas. Well Tonight's Toyota Man of the Match is Christian rolled on your local Toyota Dealers are proud to present tonight's Man of the match and it's time for our Emerald Queen Casino Play of the Match. Christian Roldan had a big part in the own goal scored by Dallas towards the cheek closs in space will some time gets tools the buff left hand sight goes along the sick joga. How is the goal? It's an own goal, just what the sound is needed.
It was Christian all done again. It was crashing the fox from a Leo Chew cross and we'll get a confirmation. But certainly from that fantage point it looked like it was looked in the goal by an FC Dallas defender.
But the Sounders won't care. It's Sounders one Dallas nil. The Play of the Match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest and the entertainment capital of the Northwest, and Brad being able to get Christian old On starting out there, combining with his brother Alex from the right backspot. That did seem to add a lot to the attack and then balance offensively to this team. Yeah, exactly. I think it takes away pressure from
our left hand side, and his absence obviously showed that. And it's the combination of him and Alex together, right, It's it's not just one or the other, it's when they play together they have this. I mean they've grown up together obviously, so they have an unspoken bond about what the other
person is trying to do. They're on the same page, and it allows Leo chw to not be you know, the LAFC game was was a big We watched that game from basically what felt like on the field, but Leo Chi was so heavily dependent on in that game at LAFC that he just tired after fifty sixty minutes and we got nothing from from Cody Baker. And that's
not to say to rag on Cody. It's just a product of him trying to get his feet and he doesn't have that attacking prowess yet, so to have that balanced attack is huge, and he creates that goal from a hard, hard run. He doesn't know if he's gonna get to the ball, but that's not the point with Christian. He knows that if he does great, and if he doesn't, he's gonna put the defender on his back heels and make him face his own goal and make a mistake. And that time
he did. Credit to Leo Chu because I don't know how you take him out of the starting lineup right now after these last you know, seven eight
games that he's been producing. And that's another that's credit to Leo because we've sat here on broadcast saying when he's he gonna start, when he's he gonna kick into high gear, and tonight was at night once again that he provides you know that like unspoken kind of I don't even know how to how to it, but yeah, it's a little it's something that he provides that you can't really explain because sometimes you think he gets caught in pressure and then all
of a sudden he makes something out of nothing. And there's not many players that can do that. So credit to him for keeping his head down. And if it wasn't for him, we might leave this game one nothing. Yeah, absolutely, I mean and it's that burst that we saw Jordan have when Jordan was a youngster. Here, it's just it's that added dimension is speed that's stretched teams and do what he did in creating that goal there that ends up as an own goal in the back of the nets. In terms
of you mentioned you're taking Leo Chio out of the starting lamp. In terms of trying to find the best starting lineup for the Sounders right now, it's an interesting topic as we look ahead to what's coming up next for the Sounders. I'll tell everybody that Sounders FC Soccer is presented by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders FC.

Well, in terms of what's coming up next for your Sounders, it is actually League's Cup, which is a new tournament, a larger expanded tournament from the League's Cup that we've been in the past. Obviously, Sounders went to the final a couple of years ago down in Las Vegas. This time the tournament is much bigger and much better, as the entire
leagues. LEGA MX down in Mexico and MLS here in the States will now face off that begins next Saturday. The next MLS action won't be until August twentieth here at Lumanfield, Atlanta coming to town on Sunday, August twentieth, but four Leagues Cup, the first match of the group stage will be next Saturday at Rail Salt Lake. It's Saturday, July twenty second, six thirty kickoff at America First Field in Sandy, Utah. You can watch the match
via MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app or listen right here. Sports Radio ninety three point three KGr FM. The Providence, Swedish premat show will begin at six o'clock next Saturday for Sounders and RSL in the group stage and Brad as we continue the conversation from the previous segment, the big question is we know is Brian Schmitzer, Craig Wie will have said they're gonna go for this. This is a trophy that the Sounders don't have, and this is
a club that goes for every trophy available. So considering they are gonna go for it, they're gonna put out a top level lineup. The question is
what is that top level lineup? Is it a variation of what we saw tonight where Nicholas Ladero starts on the bench and you have a job hollow Obed Vargas and chews on the left, russknacks in the middle, Roldan's on the right, Ruy Diaz slash Morris the striker, or do you figure out a way to get to Ladaro back starting on the field, How do you structure the best starting eleven with pretty much everybody healthy right now for that tournament.
I'm not exactly sure, because I think Salt Lakes in a position where they could probably field a pretty strong lineup right now, yeah, and go for it. I think the Sounders have to be careful in this tournament late in the season because we've got bit last year and not having a full strength lineup heading into the summer months, and we all know what happened there right Not making the playoffs, and we just have to be very careful about who we
field in this tournament because the main emphasis is Major League Soccer. And I like the Open Cup because it's a little bit earlier in the season, and I think in years past we've been able to field, you know, for the first couple rounds, we've been able to field mixed lineups. This is a tournament where I think no one knows what's going to happen and what lineups are supposed to be fielded, and what lineups other teams are gonna field.
So I think it's a bit of a guessing game here. I think it has more emphasis than the Open Cup to most teams because you're playing teams from outside the country and I think that they'll probably play mixed lineups. Two. But I think we're going to be in a case where you're gonna see a mixed lineup. I think you'll see Niko back on the field. It'll give a chance for him to get some games under his belt, maybe back at that number ten. But it's also we're playing Salt Lake, so you do
you put Rusnak out there to get consistency. It's who knows. I thought tonight. I don't know why uh JP came off the field a little bit of a head scratcher for me, unless he picked up a little bit of something. But I could tell you what. Ozzie's not coming off of that field unless it's a ninety fifth minute or he's got a bone sticking out of
his leg. So I'm gonna go in the locker room and ask JP what's going on, hunt, because you don't see that very often that your number you know, your number six, who's your tried, true steady player comes off the field and sacrifices his role for someone else, So a lot of questions will be asked. I don't expect to see a full strength lineup. If the Sounders are smart, they'll give JP arrest coming off in ACL. This will be his first chance to really get arrest and get his feet underneath
him and make a charge at the end of the season. So, yes, there's emphasis on this tournament, but like I said, there's a lot of questions around it too. Well, let's go down there and let's start asking those questions. We'll head down to the locker room. That'll be it for our broadcast tonight. I want to thank Mitchell back in the studio running everything tonight. Great call tonight from Danny Jackson, Steve Zakiwani, Terry here
on side, Keeley keiving everything on the rail as our broadcast director. Here on side, my name is Jackson, Felt, Brad Evans alongside. We thank you so much for listening here tonight.
