The Provident Swedish premad show starts now good evening from a warm and beautiful Lumen field where the sun is shining, and we're about to play some soccer tonight here at Lumen underneath the sun.

Sounders San Diego FC tonight here from Lumen. And you know, back on April first, Seattle lost three to nothing down in San Diego.

Since then it's been pretty good.

The Ray Green are five to two to one, the only loss coming a week ago to LAFC. The latest win coming just back on Saturday FC Dallas and the team, just like the weather is heating up as they usually do around this time of the year, We're gonna look to keep scorching this evening against San Diego FC. We welcome you in to the Sounders FC pre match show presented by Providence, Swedish, official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC.

Callen.

It wasn't the prettiest match there against Dallas on Saturday. We needed a penalty kick in the eighty sixth minute by Albert Rusnak. But at the end of the day, good teams get stuff done. This team got it done and it was three points on Saturday.

I mean, I wouldn't say it was it was ugly by any means.

It was a pretty game. We did create some things. It was an exciting one. Just nothing actually fell for us in the end. Is that fine old product, whether it be the final ball at the cross, the pass, the weight of the cross or pass.

We're just finding in the back of the net, right, That is what.

You fans want, That is what we would wins games as goals.

So it was a positive.

However, on the other side, obviously a shutout is what you need, and that's exactly what happened, and so Stephen Fry another little tally there for him going forward.

I was pleased because in a thirty four game season, you're gonna have games where you don't quite get the bounce, you don't quite get the call, you don't quite get the quality of crosses, but you came out with a win. I loved walking into a locker room and saying, hey, they were better, right, and we won. I did not think Dallas was better, but we just couldn't find the

Yeah, have a coach. I wore linen when we won, and now I'm wearing linen again.

It just means right that that's the happenings it next year in February.

So right, you had the Como look going on on Lake Lake Como.

Look, we're still on Saturday it.

I literally have all Italian on right now, so we're still in com We're still we're still Italians.

For the folks listening, it's it's a white shirt, it's blue pants.

No, no boat loafers. Loafers not boat shoes. It's long. You just got off a boat of Lake Como.

You're just hanging off to the side.

I'm going for my happy hour. Apparteeth for air to tow. He is dressed in Italian tonight. How about that from Kellan Row?

I am dressed in roths, dressed for less tonight. We welcome you in here the pre match show Sounders San Diego FC tonight Here at a beautiful Moomen field where right now it is seventy eight degrees as my phone says it's a warm one here tonight, but right now the shape he is covering pretty much ninety nine percent

Health reports.

Danny Mazowski picked up a knock in training last week. He had a cortisone injection on Thursday. It is a muscle injury, I think gosh. Brian Spencer said on KGr with myself and andrews Furst yesterday that it's a glute injury there. It's that muscle. But he is healthy enough today to make the bench. That is good news. So did the fitness test on Saturday. Agans Dallas couldn't go, but he's back there on the bench today. Jackson Reagan also back on the He is finally over his hamstring injury.

He will be out for a while here with the Sounders.

Also, Jordan Morris, we got some news on this yesterday on KGr as well.

He's getting closer.

According to Brian Schmetzer in that interview, it's possible that he sees the bench against Vancouver in eleven days, which would be outstanding as we hope to have Jordan Morris back ready to go to the Club World Cup starting in just two.

And a half weeks.

So with that all noted of who is available and who isn't available, be viewing what is Brian Schmetzer's delta starting eleven.

Coach Schmetzer puts out his four to two three one. It is a luxury to be able to have starters always starting right because we're deep, we can rowe to eight. So here it is Fry your captain is in goal, Alex rolled On your right back, knew who your left back, Jonathan Bell and Kim Key he will be your center backs. In the middle of the park, Christian rolled On. Obid Vargas will sit in the middle. On the right. Paul Rothrock comes back to the starting lineup. Ryan Kent will

Not much rotation for founders. We'll talk about that in a moment. But callen, what is San Diego doing today? They're sticking with their four to three three. They're gonna look to play out of the back.

The coach Mikey Varies has put out on this Wednesday in goal Dos Santos.

The left back Bobino.

In the center backs you have McVeigh McNair and then in the right back you have for Hoven.

That three in the.

Midfield, it's gonna be Verstkoff Alvarado and the goal scorer last weekend is del Torre up top. In that front three, you have Maten, you have Dryer their DP and then up top.

At the number nine.

You have Balakari Boy Dryer has been so good for them this year. We'll talk more about San Diego in a little bit, but Callen, going back to what Brian Spencer was doing, the thing that's most glaring is not much.

Isn't changing much.

Obviously we got Rothrock for day La Vega, you got the injured Gamar out, Jonathan Bell in for him. But this team staying very very close to what we saw on Saturday against Dallas.

What do you think I think Brian Spencer liked the performance.

Obviously there wasn't a final product until that PK, but he liked the final performance of that on Saturday. And when you're playing a team that is second in the West, that is above you in points, you have to put out your best team. You know, this is not a time to relax. You're also playing a team who did travel. You're at home now for three game a three game stretch.

Yeah, good points and there's a revenge factor, right, and this is the second time these two teams have played each other. The first one the three zero drubbing really at San Diego. We owe them something. So it's easy. As Kelen said, this is the number two team in the league. We're number five. We can jump up a little bit. There's great games with lots of implications today for the top five or six in the West. So it's an important game. Players get up for important games.

Again, Soundia wants to gain do a twice.

Sounders are just four points behind San Diego. So you think about a win today and how that changes the dynamic and the standings. Gentlemen, let's talk about the forward position. Jordan's still out with the hamstring, Danny Mazowski coming back from his muscle injury.

There it is glued. So it's again Heesu's Ferrara.

We saw him again that position against Dallas on Saturday A. How do we evaluate what we saw in b What do we need him to do today against a bit of more of an offensive team in Sandy Diego then, and we saw in Dallas Kellen.

Well, look, San Diego is gonna want the ball.

They're gonna possess the ball especially, so I'm not looking so much as Hayesu says, is he gonna be behind? Is he gonna come back and play? I'm looking at him on the other side of the ball. How is he He's gonna be the first guy to press? So how is he looking to press? Are they looking to keep it one side? Are they gonna look to trap San Diego? Let them make the mistake and then win

I like it.

I would totally agree. I was really impressed and a little bit surprised the way San Diego would play out of the back. They literally were playing balls a yard off the end line right to come out of the back. I mean they weren't playing balls to the edge of the box. They were playing him literally one yard to the right or to where. Yeah, and they were very comfortable on the ball. Having said that, you're right, you gotta be opportunistic if there is a chance. But everybody

And I think what you know, especially someone who like Jesus Ferrer who's coming in obviously we have multiple injuries, he's got to be unselfish and a lot doesn't a lot of it doesn't happen much when it comes to strikers. You if anyone's being honest with us, right, it doesn't even happen to coming much or from so he could be too selfish sometimes, but selfless he's your right he's got to be willing to make the run first, like you said to that near post, to open up space

And also believe that that pass is coming.

Believe in you know your teammates and obviously that's where the chemistry comes in, which has been a big talking point Pasus Ferra building that chemistry with the guys behind him, with Albert Rusnak, with Ryan Kent, Paul Rothbrot today on the right wing, believing that they're gonna be able to put a good cross in, So making that run and staying with that run because pee that's gonna lead to good results if he believes in it.

Yeah, we have seventeen assists from the flanks, and that includes new who, that includes Alex Glanion.

There's everybody who's.

Been on the wing, whether they've been a wingback or an attacking midfielder from the wide, we've gotten the assist. To your point, Jackson when a forward knows the cross is gonna come in, then they're gonna make the run. And it can't be all run if you cross. It has to be that belief you're talking about.

Well, we're just about a half hour away from kickoff here as the shade has now fully covered the field here at Luminfield.

But it is a warm evening for soccer here in Seattle.

Sounders facing Sandy Diego FC here at Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at Luminfield. Today's countenwt A kickoff is presented by Emerald Quen Casino, the entertainment.

Hee beautiful, beautiful evening for soccer here in Seattle.

Well.

San Diego is off to a hot start in MLS, currently second place in the Western Conference with twenty seven points. There is four above Seattle in fifth place twenty seven goals scored that is tied for second most in the West, five above Seattle. Defensively, they've conceded seventeen goals, which is too less than the Sounders as well, and we know, of course, they beat Seattle three to nothing back on April fifth, down at Snapdragon Stadium in southern California.

Callen P. What do we see from this San Diego team to night?

A little bit of rotation here midweek, Hellen, but still a very dangerous squad on the field.

They're a very day to squad like we have.

They have the luxury of having starters on the bench, and it's good for them and it's good for the league. But we talked about it already, the possession factor that

Yeah, I agree. I'm excited to watch them play again. Can they replicate what they did against Seattle in San Diego and sant and can Seattle handle that and counter and go After twenty seven goals, there's a lot of goals. There's only a couple of clubs that have that in the league. San Jose, by the way, has more goals thirty two, which.

Arena.

I think they're also giving up twenty guys are effects.

Yeah, but I'm with you. Dryer is very dangerous for me. Alla carry coming out. Uh, he's a good post up guy. He could turn dangerous as well. And they've got guys that can get assists, right.

Dylatorio is one of those guys for me that it kind of sneaks up on you. Like last weekend, you got that goal, he's running a high he just got engaged and and now he's and now he's playing really well. Got that goal, and then he's coming down in Seattle. He's one of those just got the call up for the national team. These guys are getting these bumps, and he's one of those guys that comes in late and you talk about assists, that's the one.

Yeah, this is yeah, you're right, and and you know what, this is their first time playing here, and I always think that lifts a team because this is a franchise, rich history, great crowd.

Tonight, early game, callen, did you feel that when I went went teams like you know, came into this building for the first time, they were a little bit higher up.

There's there's two ways to go about it.

You could be really high up because you have a cool fan baser's playing in Seattle, which is it's a beautiful day for it. I mean everything about the city. This is what people look fall in love with the city, right when it's really beautiful out and you see the mountains, you see the water everywhere.

You're driving across five twenty and you're going.

Oh my gosh, look at all those beautiful mountains and waters and things of that sort. But there's also the other factor of hey, this is a hard place to play. This is a good team, this is a big franchise, this is a great fan base. It can be either fear or it can be confidence. Well, we'll see what it is today. You got you mentioned Luca de la Torre, three goals and assists so far in the year. Andrews Drier from Denmark Gill. You're gonna hear Danny Jackson say

Also Valacari the finish midfield. They're three goals, five assists. And don't forget about irving Chucky Logano on their bench as well. He has five goals and six assists this year. He's a big impact guy who can come off the bench for San Diego tonight. A lot to worry about here with a team that beat three Seattle three to nothing.

Welcome back to Luminfield Sounders tonight facing off against San Diego FC. A beautiful evening for soccer here, A little bit warm here at lumin Field this evening. Before we hear from Paul Rofluck. Let's get into our players to watch for Seattle tonight. Kellen, who you going with?

You know, I'm not sure I've ever said this one, but knew who it's going to be New who the PAP reference that. Knew who does have an assists, he does have a goal. We all know that he loves getting forward. But knew who has to be the defensive player first, because they do have their DP, their star player, and Dryer on his side.

Who loves to get the ball? Who the San Diego team is looking for in.

This attack, so knew who needs to stay at home a little bit more or at least be smart on his runs to make sure he has covered.

I'm going to go with Ryan Kent for the fact that it's first time he's played against this San Diego team, but we need him to be productive, getting in his crosses, getting on the end of crosses, penetrating through the box, opening things up, drawing players, but also to help new who deal with Pryor on that side as well, because if he does get forward, he's gonna have to read it and he's gonna have to gallop back.

I'm going Hasus Ferreira and Kellen, you mentioned it a couple of minutes ago in the first segments, his job pressing, and we're talking to him a couple of weeks ago in the locker room, and how much he takes pride and pressing well.

San Diego likes to play out of the back.

Hasius Ferira make them pay, force him to a big mistake, make a big turnover there in their own third.

Of the field.

See if I can lead to a big mistake from their part in the pickle for Seattle. None of us chose Paul Rothrock, but I chose to talk to Paul Rothrock yesterday after training. Here was our conversation looking ahead to this game against San Diego. Things didn't go great last time he gave faced san Diego, So why is it gonna be different this time?

Well, run being at home to start, so I think that makes a big difference. I think having the crowd behind this really helps. You know, we want our revenge. Now We've got a little extra motivation going into this game. And you know, we set out to try and win each series, and we can't win this series, but we can at least tie the series with San Diego, So that's our objective tomorrow.

Got a good momentum coming off of that one nothing to win this last weekend.

Just takeaways from.

That and why it gave you guys momentum more than just maybe just getting the one nothing result.

Yeah, I think there were some really positive moments, especially in the first half.

I also think.

All of us could say it wasn't our best game, and I'm sure you guys probably felt that way watching from the sidelines, and yet we still found a way to win. So that's always a big positive. And you know, coming off that last big week and starting the first game of three in a three game week with a win is huge. You know, we're still nine points out of seven days or eight days is still.

On the table.

You do you have a number in mind of all right, these are the obviously you know we got four and nine the previous road trip, but these three at home. Do you have a number in mind if we want to hit this number or we're okay hitting this number?

Yeah?

I think you know, if you look at the table right now, we've climbed up a little bit, but nine points this week puts us in a really good spot. So I think everyone's shooting for nine obviously it's a game at a time, but it starts with tomorrow and hopefully then we're looking at six and then we just got to get three points.

I think the temperature kickoff is going to be somewhere around eighty degrees heating up here in the Northwest.

Do you like that? Do you not like that? Because it's going to be a little bit odd when you when you kick things off.

I think benefits the spectator's more than anyway. I'm sure my family will enjoy warm weather. But yeah, I think that's going to be a challenge tomorrow. But we're dealing with the same challenge they are, and I think whoever can handle that a little bit better, well we'll get the three points tomorrow.

It's good stuff there from Paul Rothrock Yes, out of training Sounder fans Donald The McDonald's up today and when the Sounder is when you'll win a free mix check in the following day with a minimum two dollars purchase exclusively in the app. One more break here in the pre match show.

Callen, what are you looking for, patients? I'm looking for patients, not just an oppress. Because the San Diego is a team that wants to keep the ball.

Let that backline have it.

Set your block and pick your times to go.

But also when you win the ball, make sure your patient, make sure you keep it for a few times because you haven't had it for a long period of time.

Don't just try and go to goal right away.

Organized at the back they got they're in a four to three three, so we got to make sure we don't get hot with space at the back. There's gonna be a lot of numbers up front that are back four are gonna have to deal with. I always think it's the wingers for me, if they can be productive, get quality crosses, get on the end of crosses. But again, this team was really impressive to me last time. The way they played out of the back was very very good,

Dosantos and gold Er, Hoop and McVeigh, McNair and Bombino are the back four.

Albarados first, Cough and Della.

Torrea the midfield three and you're attacking Trio Aremighten Valakari and then MainMan Andress Dryer up front. So brand as the teams get set, Sounders are gonna be attacking their traditional north end in that first half, green shirts, blue shorts, white socks, their anniversary kids San Diego in.

Their navy blue midnight blue. They're attacking the goal to our right. As the Flames go off behind the goals.

They'll get the kickoff immediately, go forward, headed away, five roll down.

So let's get your initial thoughts.

Three points fight to look at home, of course, to continue to build the momentum the Sounders have gotten since really that loss in San Diego. We'll get your second minute thoughts. In a second Deltroy gets towards the end. Lowys could be an Eula.

Four to get No, it's gonna be the deflection off Delatroy, it's gonna be a goal kick. So Brad keissa today's game.

Yeah, look, I think it's an opportunity for the Sounders to come out and put in a strong performance. So so a little bit of a shift from this San Diego team, but everything stays the same in the way that they're gonna play. That four to three three causes Sounders tremendous problems down in San Diego, and they've proven that throughout this season and being a really, really good team in their first year, and so the Sounders have

It's a perfect opportunity.

Here at home, crowd's not as big as usual, we got the Mariners playing, it's kind of a funky kickoff time. So for the Sounders, there's a strong performance all around and build off of this past weekend.

Step and Fry last set forward flicks on by Ferrara, the lone man up there, as he was in the second part of the second half.

In last weekend's game, isolated before Brian Schmittz made a couple of changes and then of course Sounders getting that near last minute winner the foot of Reznik from the penalty spot as Jonathan Bell steps in wins the ball picked up by San Diego Valacari picks up a misplayed ball by rolled On down there left hand side far side the left is Valacari as he pulls it back

Yeah, And I spoke to him at lunch just last week and I asked him some questions, Right, how is the level of play been?

Have you been surprised?

And he said, actually, I've been, you know, pleasantly surprised with the level of play here. The trainings have been super high quality. Now he just wants that consistency. One thing he thought was obviously in Portland. We all watched the game. He didn't have the best game in Portland, and I told him, listen, if you're gonna put in the hard works, Mets is gonna give you opportunities to continue to perform.

And we know that what you can provide.

Here CAUs Sanchos giving it away, flick fard this safe.

As he scrambled back into goal. There was a misplayed clearance by the San Diego goalkeeper straight to the foot of Alex rolled On. Couldn't quite find the open goal, but it is going to be a corner cake for the sound.

And Alex just catches this one off the turf beforehand, a little bit more height and that was for sure in the back of the net. The Sounders end up, like you said, with a corner kick here unless he can get some more runners in the box. It's what we've been asking for the past couple of weeks.

Third minute here lumin Field Neil Nils sound of San Diego corner kick outswinger and it goes Eddie Clearbyts first got picked up top of the box by Obed Vargas could not turn out of pressure, goes back to the right hand side to a Russlick who drives.

It in towards the backstick.

Chestuf Kinky finds Ryan Kent twenty five yards at little reverse ball to New down this left.

Hand side you're defending by Vie Hoover and the eighteen year old low need for him. San Jose goes over the endline and it's gonna be another sound as cornerkick.

The one thing we've seen from San Diego is the size of their back line. They came into this league knowing that it's an athletic league, but they picked up the size in their first off season right and really going after it. They've got some big bodies in there for the Sounders, still adding Paul Rothrock to the mix now with five runners and Jesus in the mix as well. So we've seen it where they've gone with four in the box hasn't really become fruitful. Now you've got six

YEP, it's gonna be an in swinger with the russneck Ryan Ken close five moves away now right in.

The six is right of us mentioned and scrambled away.

It was off the foot of Ross Brow couldn't quite poke it into the goal. But sound is to pick it up down the right hand side now with Alex Roldan rolls.

It into Knew just came from an off side position. Assistant referee on the far side. Flag goes up, Gonna be a free kick just inside the eighteen four San Diego.

What a chance for the sound is off the corner again swung in well and that's Paul Rothrocky almost it comes out of the vision right there, just hits his shin, pops down and just can't get his foot on it.

With decent effort from the sounder. That's what willing runners do in the box. You have to put teams under pressure. And then it's Alex Roldan on the flip side. And what happens is on these fields and this big of a crowd, if you're ten feet away and you tell someone to leave the ball, you can't hear anything on the field. So Knew who just gets caught in that offside position. You see the idea there from Alex looking for that threaded through the.

Ball Ryan can't ask him for a him.

Referee looks like he's given it a little bit unclear for the players both San Diego and Sounder's gonna look at the referee asking for the call, blowing the whistle.

It's gonna be a free kick. The sound is right in front of mikey Varius, the.

Head coach for San Diego, his first head coaching job in MLS, former assistant coach at Dallas and the men's national team. It's amazing lots of fans across MLS in

Yeah, the amount of goals that they've scored this season is especially in their first is really admirable and you just love as a fan to see the willingness to push forward. In golfer games, we've seen expansion teams come in and play five in the back and really just get through their first seat in San Diego said no, we're gonna find the right players to play this system.

Credit to their head coach and in sticking with it right.

Sometimes coaches after the first loss they'll maybe switch things up, and San Diego.

Has been consistent that they've been very, very good.

Now Lozano's have been probably the biggest piece along with Dryer, and to miss him is a little bit of something that'll be missing from this squad tonight. But still the fact remains four three three. We stick to our tactics and we should be able to get the job done. That's their thought process.

Yeah, Belacari a decent addition to the lineup. Place of Shooky, here comes haess Errer. Can he bring it down top of the books? Chance asking for han boys the crowd referees ten yards away doesn't give anything.

Cleaned up by mcnah Actually McVay cleans it up off the toe of Haesus Ferrera, picked up by the sounds on the halfway line. This is sawing good chance to haess Verreo just to find a little path forward looking for that opening is bred Evans mentioned has that some really good performances.

In the last couple of weeks just connecting the ball, connecting the pass. Is he good off the mark so far for the Soundest.

Yeah, well, you look at Andy Rose right now throwing his hands up. He's certain that the ball possibly touched the hand, but.

All over the chuck picked up, cleared by Bombina.

But tonight's biggest challenge for Ferrera is gonna be sitting in between those two that he's got to find the right pockets. He's not gonna go man for man against either of the center backs. He's got to show up in the spaces that they don't think he's going to. And the one thing about Jesus is the deceptive speed. Right, He'll check into those sauce spots and then he saw it. He'll turn and go and he's clear in onside. If he gets just a touch on that one, he's clear non goals.

We watch the replay here, ball.

Bounces for as inside the box, bounces up and almost touches inside the armpit.

I don't think the Sounders will get that call.

Slayed away by mcnath former Sunderland men came over in the off season, has made a really good partnership with McVeigh. Came across from the east coast DC United, or gets flipped by the sound to the far side. The ride kept in on that.

Right hand side by Roth. A little shimmy of the hips will slip by Bombino. Rof're getting the start tonight place of Pega de la Vega as well, Darntell. Let's ball go over, nipped by Dela Tori and then a free kick given by the referee Roth Rock just a little tug on the San Diego left back Mombino and it's going to be free kick quickly taken by San Diego, who'll.

Mess around in possession. Second in possession in MLS this season.

After the Columbus Crew so as Bred mentioned twenty seven goals scored seventeen goals against.

So solid offensively defensively as well, so scene.

Some good teams have a good inaugural season, of course, Saint Louis being one of them, most recently going five to zero in the first five games, winning the Western Conference in their first season in MLS. See if San Diego could try and match that. But here comes Might down the left hand side, tracked four clash up bodies and it was logally challenged by Might and right on the top of the Sounder's eighteen yard box. Kim Kihi

They certainly have the five power to go from one side of the field to the other.

Yeah, and they've shown that all throughout this season, and they're most dangerous when they're in their counter in my opinion, you saw it when the Sounders played down there.

They took the.

Sounders by surprise, and that transition came too quick. So what you're gonna see tonight is Knew who maybe holding a little bit more because of the front.

Three all over the top by Stephen Fry was Ken who came off this left hand side, this near touch line, a little dancing run between right back and center back before I.

Try to find it a little bit heavy.

So that front three for San Diego, you see two sent high. Dryer drops a little bit deeper, but at any moment dry will pop up on either side and then all of a sudden, del Torre pushes forward and it's a four v four and that's where they that's where they want to catch you. So here they're gonna try and play out of the back. And this is

If that requires a foul, then it's a foul.

Misplayed by Christian roll Down.

You haven't said that too often this season in a rock in the middle of the park because he just shakes his head in frustration.

But Vic til Well by Ferrara got a little toe on the ball off the first off. It's been a little solid.

Central midfield play anchoring the center of the park, but not just defensively being a shield for the back four, but also offensively well as well. Got a goal against the Sounders, of course, the first goal I set piece by Schmitzer. After reviewing those goals from the last game, continues to shake his head in the manner in which they gave him goals. They're sloppy, certainly didn't sound the game off well. And when you go to place at San Diego with a full capacity crowd. We'll get he

This is their side, dead left as he crossed the half way line.

Ball at his foot, looking forward, goes sideways and square to Brian Kenney just drops his shoulder.

Comes back, keeps possession. Sound is built, yeah, and that's okay. But for San Diego, this is where they're gonna try and catch you. Here you make one one bet pass and then all of a sudden it seems like four or five or in the attacking third, and this is where they got caught. The Sounders where Knewho's pushed high, so is Alex rolled on and then all of a sudden, all you have is Jonathan Bell and Kim Ky he's sitting back.

This is what they want to do. They want to mate you into this.

So for the Sounders, the ball's gotta go wide, and something's to come from wide areas what.

Goes forward because he tries to find the slashing runner rolled on come off that white back spot couldn't find him, rolls through to Dos Santos, who's been a real steady eddy player in the goal for San Diego, came in from Miami in the offseason as Veris and the front office staff built their squad.

Brother there's really not eight let's call it a new team anymore.

That's the players who come from Europe, lots of experience, who have experienced in MLS, so as much seems much more of an easy prospect to hit the ground running with the type of experience they can pick up. As San Diego called, Ford switched the bat from Balacari too dryer this near sight drops should towards his left. A little back heel runner vere Hoover and has who just turns out a pressure played forward by Vargas couldn't be.

Picked up by Ken.

But in terms of franchise, new franchise coming Saint Louis had success in twenty three and San Diego similar success in twenty five.

Well, you're not going to see any more achieve us USA teams. This league is too good to just build a squad of who's here in this league at the time.

You have to have it comes from Lacroi. Towards the end line, you have to have.

Big name players that come into this league that have had experience at top levels throughout the world. And that's what San Diego did. When you look at their roster, not many players are US born or US raised. They really tried to piece together a roster that was going to compete in the beginning. Now they have the right to Dream academy and that is their goal, right, Let's

You have the right to dreams. Structure that they have.

Academy is in Ghana, Denmark, Egypt and now in San Diego, developing players, shifting players around.

A number of those players are in this squad. It's gonna be a corner kick on this Nisan san Diego's right and string at the foot of Troo. This left foot is near who goes down? So see if there's a class ship voters or maybe twisted the ankle. No one knw who's okay, it's gonna get pulled up by the referee.

There's three San Diego players stand on the penalty spot, matched up by three green shirts of the Sounders.

We'll get here in the fifteenth minute.

Neil nil Sounders San Diego corner kick San Diego and Dryer one. I'm up in the air Instwringer's left foot in. It goes headed clear, picked up by my top of the box. No pressure strikes it, locked out well by Vargats, cleared towards the halfway line and picked up by vier hoove and he's gonna clip it into the eighteen yard box, headed down by Dreyer and the assistant referees flagging.

This near side puts his flagger. It's gonna be off side. Sounders looking to try and get this going as we get here in a perfect night.

If you see pitchloom and Field Sports Radio nine fifty KGr AM.

If you're not here, thanks for joining us.

When it's in the car, sits in at home and Apple Sounders playing an early kickoff strange one for all of us turning up to the stadium mid afternoon.

For five point thirty kickoff.

Here a luremin Field giving away sloppily by this sounds picked up by Mt. Vay down this right hand side, right in front of Brian Schmitz, who's on his feet just asking questions of his team. I'm particularly happy right now in the manner in which the Sounders have starts a little sluggish.

Yeah, I was just gonna say a little bit sluggish in the first fifteen minutes of this one. You're at home, you'd figure the Sounders will be pushing forward with good possession, but so far it's been San Diego really just holding the tempo of this game, and the Sounders it's just that outlet pass one or two times that I've gotten them caught.

We've got to just be careful with the ball.

The biggest thing you can do is when you win the ball, the next pass has to be completed, and it can't just be give someone the ball because they're there. It's got to be with intent. Here you see Ryan Kent, we win possession of the ball and then it's a back heal flick goes back to San Diego and they're on top of us on the eighteen.

Its first cup left corner of the eighteen at bred Evans mentioned back to Varad who's in for good Doy today.

Goody has been a staple in the middle of the parkt at at midfield three.

He gets to rest on the bench tonight, as is Jukie Lozano.

D Evans mentioned big time Mexican international came back from Europe and.

One of the main dp's, but it was a Dryer, who's.

The Danish DP who's taking all the ploitic six goal seven assists on his season.

So far.

As you watch San Diego build, yes, it's a four to three three. They're playing with a box in the midfield and Dryer will drop all the way deep and you would expect them. Then they have two strikers that they're going to be centrally, but they're both fading really far out wide and then they're hoping. When the ball's built on this side, Dalla Torrea becomes a third striker and pushes up.

Opposite on the other side.

They comes sound. He's picked off the ball and the attacking third of the field just the right place to do that. As the ball goes to Kent, don't quite keep it in Miscontrolled by ken Well, sloppy by Bryant, basically chases the ball, tries to get back in position to defend his dryer just twists out of pressure. The San Diego built top their eighteen yard box with first off steady Eddy composed player. That's a big number six part of that right to dream family. FC nordest Land

Well, you look at Jesus, you look at Albert, and they're kind of asking the bench like what do we do in this situation? Because too many times any central midfielder it's really difficult because you've got a striker that drops all the way deep beyond halfway line, who follows him, and then Obed doesn't know he's there, Albert doesn't know he's there, and all of a sudden, San Diego's split with one pass, five or six sounders and they're looking at the bench for, hey.

What do we do here? But when you're an away team and your home team's looking for some help from the bench, you know you've started the game in a positive way. Samas needed to get a grip now started well, had some chances in around the eighteen yr box was caught out Dos Santos by Alex rolled on, but remains nil nil rolled on has it, finds a foot of Farrah good play down in the middle.

It goes to cat top of the box, tries to roll it out to the Ryans so I couldn't do it. It was sworn by Navy blue shirts, and there's fear Hoover and who runs.

Forward as Rosack has a little slash three gifts. I think the throwing on their side, as far as the head coach on his feet, Henson a T shirt asking for little help and now directing his team who have started this game.

Well, I was good to interchange by Jesus Ferrara and then Ken come inside. But like you said, you see everyone from San Diego just collapses on the inside. The spaces there wide for the Sounders if they can isolate, because San Diego really wants to make it tough inside in and around the eighteen to getting any sort of chance really from the top of the box. But if I'm Jesus, I'm asking what if I go into halftime. We're twenty minutes into this game. He's probably had two

Good quick played by Santio through the middle of the field again, tries to release Bombino.

On the far sign san diegoes left, couldn't point get there. Stephan fry scurries out of his goal and.

Just slis and retrieves it and Sounders now build as rothro trying to make it run on the far side in the space that Bombino had opened up after his rundown that left hand side couldn't find it. All goes back to Stefan Fryar's sound has looked to try and build his left footle awkward just clears his line safety first picked up easy by san Diego and Sounds just unable.

To connect the passes through foot of the field right now, especially I'm going to playing from deeper spots.

Sandi has put the right pressure on picking the balls up. Big center backs are able to clean up things area is.

Ball goes into my right side the box, just scuffs his shot and pulls it wide. You need to get a deflection off the sound as the smallest of deflections of the endline. It goes. It's gonna be a San Diego corner kick. San Diego start to take a grip of this game.

Fifty two percent possession for the team from Southern California. Second corner kick of the game so far as Drea goes over with his left foot to their left hand side, it'll be an outswinger. Two arms go up in the air, telling his team makes the runs to make force. Blue shirt standing on the penalt spot ball comes in outswinger

It goes. They'll shimmy around the corner of his left foot. Eventually well saved by step and fright t went down choice left comfortable in the end for the veteran sound As goal keep it but again San Diego tokim the door.

Yeah, knocking on the doors right. It's a good corner kick to the back post. And we said the size from San Diego was going to be a factor in this one, and set pieces will be important. We all know coaches away from home, they're happy to play for set pieces away from home.

That might be the one opportunity you get in the game. And you have to be good with the ball.

When you have it, it comes sound Is and then it's just as Brent Evans said it. I focus had a chance to pick up a loose ball, gave it away.

Balls to San Diego has been better, better tonight so far through twenty two minutes with the ball and especially in places where it matters right and getting an opportunity on goal. It's fine to give the ball away, but the Sounders are gonna do it. They got to do it high up the field and not cause San Diego any sort of pleasure in getting forward.

Well Tonight's match is spone said by MKA Bank, the official banking partner of Sounders FCS getting in the twenty second minute e QC pitch lumin field, sound as nil, San Diego nil as Kimky steps forward picks it up well. Sounds done so well this season so far is picking off balls and it all starts by Christian Rolled On is having a great season in that number six or old really anchor himself in front of that back forward loud Far gets to release more forward which he's finding successive,

It's Vala Currie flicks at the far side to might left corner, the box closed down by Kimki He and rolled on and it goes to Dellatori and hampball by Maighten. Referee blowncied fan diagtional sure the advantage that Grossneck has top of his box, and then I think, thanks for the referee. Rossneck gets clipped, goes down free kick for the Sounders.

That's what that's what San Diego does, is they bait you in the thinking that you have time on the ball when you really don't.

Jonathan Bell gets caught there.

As soon as something looks like there's a lane, san Diego wants you to play that ball through the middle so that they can counter attack, and then it's a four v three on the other side. The sound is fortunate got a handball's called on top of the box to get out of that situation. So, like I said, wide players on, it's on all day for the Sounders.

Well brought down by right Kat brilliantly out of the air on this left hand side now cuts in square to Vargas tricer wriggle free, but first off comes across wins the ball well as he has done all season long. In the middle of the park.

San Diego is putting the fun the ball and calm the game manage in teen Pope heavy week of games for most MLS clubs. As we get towards the end of May, Sounders have their third game in eight days coming up on Sunday at home against high flying Minnesota.

Three.

The next three games of teams Paul sitting in the top three positions in the Western Conference, San Diego in second tonight, Minnesota on Sunday sitting third coming into today's games, and then Vancouver of playing a CONKERCAFF Champions Cup final of.

Course, and they sit in first position.

It comes San Diego now transition through the line with Della toy to my twenty five yards from goal, both done by rolled on.

Sound is trying to slay the ball picked up my first cuff strikes it ricochets off. I think it was drawing Kent picked up by Stephan Fry remains no milk.

Yeah, Obed Bargas looks a little slow tonight to me. Decision making uncharacteristic of Obed and yeah, you're overrunning the midfield. But then it just comes down to completing the next pass. If I've got to go left and right ten times and wait for that opportunity in front to open up where there's a real window, then that's what I have to do. I can't get caught turning into pressure, which just happened a few times tonight.

Sound is just sloppy. He was a given away by new who's asking there's some help or shore.

What Jonathan Bell can do with that one is managed to save up the corner. Came at to hacking out of playing. It's on this near side, about eight yards or so from this near corner flag on the bottom right corner. As we look at it, it's in the hands of vere Hoove and the right back for San Diego. Sound has come back to defend Venture for a bit of a low figure up front. Roight now first five minutes he was involved as a twenty or so, it's

He goes into front man Drea picked up by Delatroy, goalscorer against La Galaxy this past weekend. It was almost an instant response as there's the crowd opens up as Fargas plays it through a little heavy too. Roth Rocker made a slasher run down the middle. He was on look.

That is the next step for ob Bargas if he's gonna get to the next level and really be a compar We know that he can win balls in.

The midfield and be that battler.

Now can he get to that next level where then the composer is there to play that pass with the with the right weight right, because that's a fantastic opportunity for the Sounders. Rothrocks in he's split two defenders and the balls just over hit into space. Quick counter attack and now Rothrock's got to sprint back and commit a foul twenty yards out from the eighteen.

Yeah, but yellow card for his efforts. A little push great as much frustration.

Enough to not getting that ball through the middle just a moment or so ago. It's gonna be a free kick for e three. Scens have pulled this one back a little deeper than we thought it was. The initial clip of the heels.

We have thirty five yards or so left of center the foot of Drea with his left foot. Sounders holding the top of their box for twenty seventh minute. Here at lumin Field Neil nil sound is San Diego and this score update is presented by pum Quadbank. There's dreat number ten with his left foot, just to whip it in and it goes towards the front stick headed clear by.

Knew who's asking for a foul.

It's gonna assistant referee flag up front offside. Sounders just get a chance to reorganize themselves. As for Raris coming back to have a little wood at Vargas.

Yeah, I think you're saying I need the ball to my feet. I need the ball to my feet. Yeah, yeah, I'm quick. If the timing is right, I'll make the run into space. Otherwise you have to think I'm coming to show feet.

Every single time sound As playing a pressure well on the right hand side goes to Vargas, who again uncharacteristic of Vargas, just flicks the ball out of bound. Let's try to find new who in the space. So plating on a different page right now. The sound as players just not connecting the passes as.

Crisply as you'd expect. All right, schmtzho he looked down on him, just a little shake of the head.

I think Steve zac Corney and his comments before the game, and I know you provide some comments as well, mentioned that these midweek games you have to almost like get yourself up for it because the crowd sometimes slow to get into the stands day ought to night.

Now it's filling in a little earlier kickoff.

But so those games you just gotta pick it and you can let these ones go because three points is three points.

Yeah, look it.

But at the end of the day, you got to recognize that San Diego is a team that that waxed the floor with you the last time you played in San Diego. There's an opportunity to get one on them. And then you look, you're looking up the table. It's a team that's in second place right now, you got an opportunity to beat that team. You're home number three.

On in this one.

Just maintain possession and make San Diego work for it. But it's too often been tonight as bad as LAFC, but too many times again giving them all away cheaply. Oh but barg us again. All of a sudden here comes san Diego.

Picked up now buying new could we then keeping away? Ryan kentch running away and then New who's just standing there? And San Diego have the ball ten yards from the end line. This right hand side dropped the shoulder byte Drya finds ver Hooven off. The ricochet from Vargas Alvarada comes from off side position remains on side.

No flag up from the assistant referee.

Vera Hooven has a eighteen yards from the endline. This right channel goes into its verset couv into dry Ha some time to shoot.

Doesn't need that type of space.

No pressure from the Sanders back line was able to turn shoot, save the end comfortably by Step and Froyt, But another chance for san Diego in transition sloppy giveaway remains.

No note.

You watch that whole sequence and it was a two second delay on if I'm gonna go step and put pressure on the ball. You didn't see that on the weekend here at home against Dallas. It almost seemed like a media pressure and after three or four passes, san Diego has to be thinking, hey, we can just pass our way around this team, and sure enough Dryer gets the ball, turns, is able to look up, put his foot down and still no Sounder steps to pressure the ball.

Struggle the sound is to get out of pressure and I have a good twitch.

A play by Alex rolled down to this near side, right side to Knew, who rolls it in quickly to Rosnek, who's been a little quite the last fifteen minutes.

Need that man to get on the ball head of course.

Twenty five goals twenty five assists for two different MLS teams this past weekend, only the second player in MLS history to do that. Steve Rolson hit that mark in two thousand and nine New.

England and Tampa Rosnak only the second player to hit that. The ball goes into the eh and yard bucks too well done.

Turn by Ferrera and nutched off the ball by the back line of San Diego and then cleared by Dosanto's up high as the ball drops towards kim Key as he lets the ball go out the far side, throwing Sounder side.

That's better from the Sounders movement off the ball number one right, and then the weight of the pass is what provides the Sounders with an opportunity there. Hey, sus I think it would like that one back, a little bit of a cleaner touch and then roth Rock. You know that most likely San Diego is going to try and keep possessions, so why not take a chance almost nicks it from the goalkeeper there.

See, soccer is presented by Provident, Swedish official healthcare partner.

Of Sounders FC. And that's not good kim Ky. He just holding his shin and he went down with what appeared to be a little bit of cramp in the last games, having a little stretch.

It almost looks like his knees bothering him a little bit, like he'll catch on the knee because the first tackle in the game was on his right ankle.

When he's got like he's fine.

You know, he managed to get up, and now he goes down and sits down. That's not good sign for Brian.

So Stuart Hawkins warms up young center back.

Of course, Jackson Reagan on the bench today coming back from injury. Sure Brian didn't want to introduce him so early in the game. Just take past the thirty minute mark.

You know, he's grabbing the back of that right knee and usually he did my meniscus once and that that's kind of where you grab that back of that knee. Let's hope it's just a I don't think it's a cramp this early in this game.

No way.

Well, Maurica do is standing next to us. He's in a leg brace from a tor meniscus right now. He'd like to tell you the story on that one. I don't think he wants a dolls on air. How he did it and it wasn't being an athlete. May have involved just eating dinner at a restaurant. That's what happens when we get older. And I actually asked him if did he get it fully falling out of the bath. Is that worse.

Yeah, but kim Ky is out now and off the field in the farst side getting some treatment by the medical staff.

Not a good sign for Brian Schmitz as he stands up next to the bench and he rose kind of figure it out with Krecky and Tommy Doucher what to do.

Hawkins is a little bit of backup for Jackson Reagan. We'll just see what Brian's move will be if he'll be Jackson early on, it looks like Stu Hawkins is gonna be the person called up. So it looks like the bench has got the signal from the Sounder's medical team that Kimky cannot continue. So not good news with the club Walk Cup coming up. Yamar off injured with

Sounds needed to recalibrate themselves here as rothrow just what the Sounders needed, a bit of hustle down that right hand side. He's gonna win the throwing. The Sounders is gonna step forward, take their time as we get here in the thirty fourth minute, Sounders nil, San Diego nil, and the change will be made as Kim Ky. He unfortunately hobbles off towards the tunnel and young Stu Hawkins comes on.

Made his debut for the Sounders just a couple of weeks go in LA. Now he gets a chance to come off the bench and get a good, solid fifty five minutes plus of time.

I think he's just been called up to the national team as well. And what an opportunity for the youngster to jump in. I'm a little surprised you got Read Baker on the bench. Maybe you go with the more experienced knew Who at center back plus Read Baker out wide left, but the Sounders elect to go with a big center back and the young Stewart Hawkins. And like you said, for the Sounders, now you're you're down two of your starting center backs and we'll see what happens

Sounders don't need to be putting themselves in their own trouble right now.

Let's need to absorb, get back in the locker room, potentially reorganize themselves. It's not been a good first thirty five minutes here started promisingly started the Sounders on the front foot.

Just San Diego found themselves into the game since that point.

Yeah, it's all about pressure.

If one team is willing to put another under pressure, it's gonna cause. It's gonna cause havoc. And the Sounders in moments have been able to do it. But San Diego the.

Better CORNICKI comes in headed up and a way by Jonatha Bell, not convincingly bull headed back in strike right in the hands from McNair, slashing the bullet, found Ryan in front of stepf fron Fryer is able to snag it out of the air for a really good chance for the center back for San Diego, no more than eight yards away. Thankfully for the Sounders didn't land to the foot of a dryer or attacking.

Play like Alacaris.

Now, look where the space is, Danny. You've got six San Diego players on this side and the Sounders just unaware and unable to switch the point of attack. And that comes down to what are you gonna do next with the Ball's the anticipation. The Sounders got to know that it happened in San Diego, they watch film on it,

It's on the opposite side of the field.

So you have to just know that in the game, I gotta give myself an extra two yards back so I can step in hit that ball first time, switch the point of attack, and then we play.

Out out of trouble.

It's interesting I talked to Christian World on this week Apprentice, and you mentioned the exact same thing. Is say I won't have the chance to pick the ball up with time and spread the play. It's gonna have to happen quickly. I think his analysis before the game is very, very true, San Diego have not given the sound As any room to maneuver in the middle of the park.

Because McVeigh just wriggles free of pressure, rolls the ball into the foot of Vala Carte lets it go.

He comes dry it down the middle.

Number ten tries to flick inside of Mitain, but cross comes new who no, we'll support the right hand sign As he goes towards the endline with the ball turns out a pressure, Well might try to chase him down. Then if it feels the pressure goes down, referee gives the foul. San Diego just asking questions of the referee didn't feel.

It was a foul, but Sounders did earn that free kick on their right hand side, just outside the eighteen yard box. Seven Fry will walk over and pick it up.

Well.

Thirteenth minute here Sounders nil, San Diego nil, and this score is presented by prominent Swedish Stephen Fry has the ball inside his box. He's gonna drive it forward. Challenged by Rothrock closed.

Down quickly by Della Torri, who, like Ivrus mentioned as a player that still got some ceiling to go is he had goals into his games that he did this past weekend against the La Galaxy, just got called back into the national teams set up by Richio Pochettino.

They come the Sounders now with Rosneck. Of course, the national team for the USS Canada have the Gold Cup to prepare for as the Sounders prepared for the Club World Cup. The teams start to finish up their seasons in Europe.

Becomes Jonathan Belt picked it up, some pressure high up the field by San Diego and Valakari. Of course they've got the likes of Juku Lozano still on the bench they can bring on. Sounders have some offensive five power as well, some youthful legs in the likes of Georgie Mnungo and of course Peeda Do la Vega, who has

Split the line to Ferrera picked up by Rosnack, closed down by four Navy Blue shirts, just as San Diego, San Diego have done all the afternoon so far. They swarm the Sounders players win the board.

Now they come away in transition in Valacari far side the left has some time and space goes back to the foot of first car For now McNair sound as eleven men behind.

The ball just absorbing pressure. Here is to get here.

In the fortieth minute, five minutes ago of this forty five see all the referee adds on. Not too much to speak of in terms of delays other than kim Key's injury. But he went off the field quickly, cause the referee to have to stop the game for too long. We'll don't leave us at halftime, Jackson felt, Kellen rope Pete feuing, we'll be back to break the first half down. And most importantly, what does Brian Schmitzer need to say to his team at halftime to light a fire underneath him?

Just need the Sounders need to step up a year or so, saye you got comfortable right now in possession with Dos Santos all in yellow outside his eighteen yard box, no stress or pressure has rolled on, goes forward, picked up by.

The Sound, is headed forward by Bell, given away and then Valakari goes down reckless challenge by Bell inside He's attacking.

Half of the field. Not a bad place to give up a foul referee comes across. That's a quick Word's mere Pechmich running the center of the field today. Good game is so far by the referee hasn't got too involved and based on some decisions would have happened over the last month or so for the Sounders from the referee contingent and I'll take that all day long. There's dryer switching the point of attack from this side of

Now as the young left back. The sound has swarm this time in their green shirts. When the ball goes back to Fry and launches it forward.

Up towards the halfway line, flick forward by Albarado and then Valacari and closed down by roth Rock. They had a roll down Alex turns out.

A pressure well as Delatroy closes it down and Jonathan Bell rolls it into Rosnick, adding to his seven goals tonight.

It would be ideal for the Sounders. He's been the main man in terms of goals for the Sounders as Albert Rosneck.

He's been involved in all of the games where the Sounders scored and the last five. The only game where they didn't score was that four zero loss down in La.

He scored the last two games against Pauland and Dallas and then two goals against Houston.

Of course, the opening goal against Saint louis the four one win here at field as the ball goes into the box clear by Hawkins with the outside of his right foot and it's near side crowning quickly by Vere Hoover back to Alvarado has had a steady eddy game so far in for good doing that midfield. Now he gets the balls, takes off in it for a split second, but flips it inside, goes back to the first calf who rolls it back to mcvate.

Sound as left men behind the board.

Get here in the final two and a half minutes of the forty five fourth lineup of games across MLS today. Most of the Western Conference teams are involved in games later this evening, Dallas playing Cincinnati away from home to to So far Cincinnati.

And Dallas Sounders defending.

Now inside there half of the field, Sandy Ego have the ball on the right inside with Vere Hoover.

See what changes in tweets Brian Schmizer makes. Of course you mentioned for third game in eight days coming up on so.

Mid afternoon game against Minnesota when Eric Ramsey has found some real form as he starts to mold the squad and the team that he wants. Came in just after start the season last year from Manchester United, the young head coach for Minnesota. But here comes san Diego down the left hand side inside the box, goes mine and just drops the left should towards his right foot, strikes.

It brilliant say by cry, then overhead kick clers by new strong left hand by step and fry.

It remains nil nil, but San Diego have the ball.

They continue to knock on the Sounders door, trying to find that opening goal.

More goes towards It was Alvarado who just slip goes over the end line. It's gonna be a goal kick.

For the Sounders sot to inch towards the forty five minute mark. As you mentioned, some big games Minnesota on the road, West Coast play Vancouver this evening and then of course come back to Seattle on the weekend. Let's play the Sounders. Sounders ten nine games out next to eleven will be at home. That includes Club World Cup matches. Let's remind everybody Voda Fogo Champions of South America, Brazilian powerhouse.

They're gonna be the first.

Group game for the Sounders here at Luminfield, followed quickly thereafter by Athletic Co Madrid, one of those story clubs in Europe, of course, with Diego Simeone at the helm, the best.

Part of a decade and a half. And then of course we finish it up with the third group game.

Here at Seattle against Harry San jermain I, likeably the best team in the world right now playing the Champions League Final.

There's coming Saturday, they come San Diego. Try to unlock before the halftime.

Whistle down go Stu Hawk, It's good tackle top of the wall, just scoots his right foot. Is Rathrop tries to twist out of pressure on Beto brings the Sounders right midfielder down for a free kick for the Sounders.

And look down on the board. The fourth official puts up one minute, so to be expected, not too much added on by the referee. Sounders take that. Get back in the locker room. Brian Schmitz will have some words, I'm sure, reorganize and see what tweets he can make sho that midfield if we get Roznak on the board, if we get Fargas ticking. Of course Jesu's Ferreira love to get him off the market.

Today's game five assists on his campaign so far, coming in from FC Dallas where it spent his entire career, and it comes Russnick.

Can he find an opening in this final minute or so of the game.

Bryan Kent just tries to wriggle out of pressure, but clowes down by two Navy Blue shirts, flicked out of bound by Alvarado, and that might just be about that as who rolls over throws it in. Referee puts the whistle to his mouth, brings this first half to a close, and not letus speak on this first half.

The best chance for the Sounders came up the foot of Alex rolled on miss clearance by Dos Santos in the San Diego goal. Alex Rod could quite find the opening, made the save and then on the other end he was Steph and Fry who made the strong left handed save.

To deny San Diego the opening goal. Although leave us, we'll take a short break, Jackson.

Felt, Kelen Rowe and Pete Fewick We'll be back to break everything down. But halftime.

Here at EQC Pitcher Lumanfield, on a perfect evening for a game of football, it's Sounders nil San Diego mill.

Here at the half between the Seattle Sounders and San Diego. Here at a beautiful loomin field tonight. We welcome in into the halftime show. Jackson feltz Kellen wrote and p fewing the Sounders not too much to speak of there in that first half. There was a possible handball on San Diego in the seventh minute. Looked like it came off the shoulder as opposed to the.

Arm, so no penalty for the Sounders.

There a big save from Stephen Frying the forty third minute, but also important to note Kim key He in the thirty fourth minute going down with an injury. Stuart Hawkins, the young center back, has come onto the field for him to replace the injured Kim Kye. Let's get some opening thoughts there. On the first forty five minutes, Kellen, what did you see a.

Little lack lust?

You're a little you know, maybe it's because it's an early game, maybe if it's hot out, maybe because they haven't really seen each other, or you have a little bit of a of a change. I guess you would say in some sense of line up. But it wasn't much there for the first half for me, for the Sounders.

The attacking third we didn't really get going very well. For I had to make three saves. The last one in about the forty third minute was the best one. He made me keep a clean sheet. I like that we're at a clean sheet considering the last time we played this team. But San Diego is dangerous. They are again very good coming out of the back. They're very

You know, it's defense first. We talked about it off air. It's got to keep that clean sheet. Is if you're positive about that first half. I would like it for seven Fry not to have to make some amazing saves like he already has done in that forty third minute, like you said, but he was defense first.

Come out of here with a clean sheet.

Yeah, the last two games, we've given up a lot of shots from the edge of the box. For I was not happy last week this one. It didn't get after the guys as much, but they are getting too many chances.

So and I'm with you.

I think keep the clean sheet. If he got out of here with a point based on what this is the number two team in the league, right so Georgie I think could help. Pedro I think could help. I don't know if he goes to Danny Massovski, if he feels, you know, like he can do something. Kellen said a moment ago that if you went to five at the back, maybe Jackson Reagan. But I think Stewart's come off. He's done okay, He's had a couple of opportunities to clear balls,

And the white horse for me, it's got to be Kilanie and I think you could see him less as an outside back but more of a midfielder role to kind of solidify that back line, give that outside winger or they outside.

Back a little help and then let the guys up top do their thing.

Danny Jackson Brad Evans will have the call for the second half. It's zero zero here between the Sounders and San Diego FC. The second half will start next on Sports Radio nine to fifty KJR AM.

Welcome back Sounders fans to EQC pitch.

A lumin field put bank thing for the Sounder So try and get another three points on the board here.

They snuck it out the end of the last game against Dallas in the last couple of minutes to go.

Rosn't that got on the score sheet, got that one nil win Sounders. I've got clean sheets so far, but it hasn't been the best first half.

Branch Metz would have used all his words of wisdom.

At halftime to figure out a way through this resilient San Diego group. Get A couple of changes have happened already. Trick Lozano did come on for San Diego. They made the change of half times. We'll get to those lineups in a couple of moments the Sounders get us going knock it long, then cleared by McNair one and forced substitution for the Sounders in that first half Kimki he went down.

Had to come off, and then young Stu Hawkins comes on the field.

Pretty sure safe to say that he might be the first ever player from Fox Island to play in the MLS.

Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but so far, so good for the young Stu. But it's debut just a couple of weeks ago. Now gets a chance to get a good fifty five minutes of play under his belt. Senego have the ball.

They're playing in all navy blue tonight, attacking the goal to our left the north end, and then sound As in the anniversary Kid Queen shirt, blue shorts, white socks, they're attacking the goal to our right the south end as Sandego have it deep on the right hand side with vere Hoover tries to wriggle free of new who. Referee calls a free kick on vere Hoover and it's had a little pull of the shirt of new Who.

Sue Hawkins launched the ball down.

As nearside the right clash of bodies between roth Rock and Bombing the the young left back. The ball goes back to De Santos just sneaks it past Jesues Frero's pressuring inside the box.

San Diego in the foot of McNair former Man United, middlesbrough Man middlesbrough Man as well and Sunderland player who just got promoted to the Premier League and the Championship playoff. All goes through the Middlers. Stephen Frye comes sliding out. So let's get you the lineup coming out for this second half for San Diego.

One chain for Nikey Virus and his team nor sand doesn't goal via Hooven, McVey, McNair, bombino E back four Albarado's first calf Della Toia are your midfield three, and then it's gonna be dryer. Their top goal scorer of six goals Valacari, and then main man DP Chucky Lozano comes on for Alex Miighten. He'll play on that left hand side. All score of course against the Sounders and then three.

Zero win as he goes through now cushioned headed back by Alex Rolda managed to clean things up. Chuck Lozano made a quick run from the left through the middle, almost caught out the Sounders back line.

But Brad will get your comments coming out. You've been in a well, sure we'll get your comments.

Just second as this Roldan gives it up, but he drives the ball forward. Sister referees flag goes offside on Perrera.

But you've been in plenty of halftime team talks from Brian Schmatz, so once he said to his team to get them.

Going, it feels like he bit of a light.

Well usually that I interview Schmant's at halftime, and this time I didn't even grab the microphone because I knew the request would be denied. So if that's any indication of what was said at halftime, and you know, the guys that were in the locker room came out pretty late, only like three minutes before the second half started, so I'd imagine it was a full team talk of hey, if you want to be here, you better show up on the field because this team's running all over us.

Right now, ball goes in behind Sep friend Fry, who's really been the best player and the Sounder shirt in that first half.

So big time saves the shit that strong left arm, left handed saved. Right towards the end of that first half comes sliding.

Out rolls the ball out sound is habit far side the left with Rosneck, and you know when Rosneck's sliding left and right to white areas, it's not getting enough for the ball as Ryan Kent trusted.

Dance rounds first off picked up by the San Diego midfield and now the foot of De La Troy. So Brian Schetz has.

Got some upach's on the bench, but it's probably to look at his players now. The experience group on the field is trying and change the turn things around.

Yeah, look at and these guys gotten about twenty minutes in this one before Schmitz starts to pull the trigger.

And it's a tough one.

Right, you lose a center back and Kim Key he young Stuart Hawkins has to come on and on the flip side, San Diego is able to sub in Lozano, so it's.

Gonna be on.

Alex rolled On is really the most experience out of that back line with Nuhu, So they're gonna have to really cover for both center backs and Jonathan Bell and Stuart, especially with the Zano on the field because he always provides something special and it's a lot faster than I think people realize. And Stuart not known for his speed positionally good in the air, good, but when you're talking about a Lozano versus a Stuart Hawkins on any moment,

You have eight shots for San Diego.

Yeah, first off, one shot for the sound tells the story right there in terms of the first half.

But it's Neil nil He.

Sounds all the opportunity now to try and break through his He had the ball far side the left with Ryan Ken closed down by Vie Hoop and then Alvarada comes.

Back to help as he falls over the ball. Felt cool. It almost felt like he stumbled on the ball. The referee got the amount of jail a little bit on that one, but he snacked his foot on the turf.

Yeah, once again, just like Portland, right the first half of that Portland game. It's the move, it's the move, and then all of a sudden it's a little bit too much dancing and yeah it's a foul in the end there. But a couple of times to night already, Ryan Kench is not able to find really some fluidity in this game and really build that confidence and get forward.

And make an impact sound as half of a free kick. And it's that pieces maybe the breakthrough here as he was against.

Dallas for the penalty spot. The sime's a free kick one.

I'm up in the air by Rozneck twenty five yards or so from the end line, left channel, entwering of his right foot in it goes plared by verst gov Broll bounced all the way back to Alex Roldan's gonna switch the point of attack from this near sight to the vast side to Rusnak holding his position taking that free kick, tries to clip it in easy headed clears by Alvarado and it come San Diego now full counter tac mode as Dryer runs forward, overlapping run by Valakari

The referee set six of one and half a dozen of the other no foul given.

Sounders have possession, a good defending but on that free kick, how do the Sounders have four players back outside of the box and then all of a sudden, it's a.

Three v two for San Diego.

It's about organization, It's about communication and thinking worst case scenario in every single moment it comes.

The sound is now on the right hand side as Jos Santos comes out of the goal.

Refree flag eventually goes out. There's that delayed play, so let's the play happen. Ball gets cleared and now he calls you off side. It was Perera just snuck a yard or two behind the back line. It's gonna be a free kick for San Diego.

Well.

Tonight's match is sponsored by m Quadbank the official banking partner of Sounders FC. Early on in this second half, fifty third minute Sounders nil San Diego nil, Sports Radio nine am.

Driving back from work or back from practice with the kids.

It's for joining us Sounders, And I got some cob webs to shake off after that first half.

We know they've got some enigmatic and exciting players on the bench, and like Sir Pedro de la Vega, Georgia Menungo, of course Paul gets thrown inside.

Pressures by San Diego to wait if that baiting them in as Brad Evans had mentioned a couple of times, in the way that San Diego defending that middle part of the field, sound is just backing off eleven men behind the ball, but they're just slowly but surely approaching the center circle.

Now plays at square to his teammate.

McVay was able to skip by in three green shirts, splits the lines, finds Delatory comes onto his weaker right foot clips It ain't goodball as Drea comes through, slashes across on that right hand side. You couldn't get a good touch on the ball, whether it's a shot or control to bring it down.

But snuck through is good delivery by Delatory sound has come again.

It's a really good ball from Delatoria, and you see the different class at different level there in a great run. When you have willing runners you can take those chances. You have to trust that the run's gonna be there.

The trust.

You now the ball's gonna come. And once again San Diego just baiting the center baction. Sounders to think like there's an opening. All of a sudden it closed down. And if I'm in this position as a center back, I'm just gonna connect left to right. I don't need to make the game as a center back for the Sounder. If you have enough playmakers all throughout the field. You've got Roo Snack, You've got Ryan Kent, Oh, Ben Varga

Keep glean sheet. It's one of those games almost feels like an away game for the Sounder, somewhat in terms of the manner of which San Diego are possessing the ball and.

Challenging the sound as back client. Stephan Fry best player on the park so far, as you mentioned, San Diego coming into this game in second position.

Just mentioned full slate of games in the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference, a well of big wins for some teams. Houston on the road at New York winning three nail.

They come the sound is can I find an opening here with Ryan Kent look, drop on the shoulder, George's left foot thinks it to the back post. Nobody there bounces through, cleared by Bombino towards Luzano drops the ball off well, nice and clean in his touch and his plays its first Cough has it and then Deltroit nice ball splits the lines to the big number six.

First clf returns and plays.

It to Valakari.

No pressure on the ball on this left hand side strikes forward. Lozano to his left, gets the ball now top of the box, tries to switch the point of attack Aaron Ball Sounds will take that good pressure by the back line, goes out fast side, throwing forward Town.

It's the Sounder's best attack so far in this game. But it's because of the switch of the point of attack, and you're able to find that little slip ball to Albert Rusnak and then he spreads it even further wider and we all knew that the ball was going to be chipped in and Paul Rotherrot takes his chance, thinking that it's gonna come on the ground early.

It's just over his head.

But in the matter of seconds it's San Diego FC all the way down in the Sounders half.

Good step by Christian Wild good at tackle. Little pop Alvarado goes down, so does Rosno. Referee is holding things up rightever's asking for the game to go. It's a couple of changes for Brian Schwitzer. There's a great note kim Ky heat off the field in the first half half injury.

It sounds like I thought it might be something with the knee. So good news for the sound is hopefully nothing too serious. Lost games coming thick and fast in the next couple of weeks. With Club World Cup on the horizon.

Danny Massovski, Pedro della Vega get ready to come on. Can maybe the change the Brian schmanzanes as he gives the final instruction. So's two attacking players that.

He's gonna introduce to the game here, try and change things up. Comfortable so far for San Diego remains nil nil.

Coach fifty eighth minute down the line, he goes to rough Rock can you get there first? Whips it in his Ferrera turns.

Strikes the news for Fererra. He gets off the mark for the Sounders, his first goal in NLS play for his new club, and what a time to do it.

Sound is won San Diego, Nail Foo.

All you can say is finally, finally, finally. I got chills from that one just seeing it, what it meant to him. He's brushing off the shorts.

You brush it off.

You see the smile on the face, similar to the one in the first half where he gets that touch from outside play. So it comes out here to Alex rolled On and that's the run that you have to have Rothrock, and it's the first time ball and then that little touch with the outside of the right foot turns bottom left.

Corner, snuck right past the keeper.

It's a great ball from Rothrock and an even better touch and he looks up to see if he can lay it off top of the box. The the center back nowhere to be found, and that's a striker right there.

Bottom corner.

Doesn't even have to hit it inside the post, just put it on frame and look, you see how much it means to him.

Everyone get off me.

Finally, he says, get the demons off of me. Put the ball in the back of the neck, and added nothing tonight from the Sounders is a good attacking movement and the ball's in the back of the neck.

Well, Masovski and Pedro Olivago are ready to come on. Ran Schmetz saw the goal and then he's pushed them back to the bench. The Pinnies go back on. We're gonna give Ferira a few more minutes to run this one out. Really good finish. Didn't look like a player who had anxiety or apprehension. And now the Sounders go again. Ball goes into Ryan Ken Perira goes again, hanging out on this right hand side.

Now he gets the ball right corner of the eighteen yard box, goes back to Russneck strikes it.

I want to save by De Santos. Say what a save.

It was a pop shot from twenty five yards right of center by Russnak and he jumped up on De Santos and he managed to get a strong right hand.

And somehow get it over the top. Cornergick.

Sounders remains one Nilsnack get a really good chance to make.

It too well, you hear what it means.

The crowd's into this one now and that's all it takes is a little bit of energy. Ball goes in the back of the net and it's confidence at the end of the day and the Sounders another good counter attack.

Goal in swinging corner kick. Baul goes in. Stu Hawkins goes up. Looks like him off good Doy, Yes he did, Goody just coming on the field. Just a moment to go for Alvarado. Does it change for San Diego as they try and.

Make a move somewhagainst someone to play for The Sounders will take that all day long, especially off the foot of Jesus Ferrera, prolific in FC Dallas over a number of years, and now he gets his first goal in MLS play for his new club the Sounders.

What a good finish it was too.

The Sounder is at to a corner kick, Brian Can runs away, Rosnack's gonna enswing at his right foot, blow towards the front post.

Heady Claarby's first cup hits by Dryer, far sight. San Diego's right. They build with Delatroy, driven ball forward, not messing around, tries to switch the point of attacks on it was here. It's gonna cleaned up by Alex Roldock.

We still see San Diego's willingness to just play out of the back, but when they do feel trouble, the ball's gotta go long, and that's the release of pressure.

What goes long? Rothrock just wriggles free, sitting on a yellow card, needs to be a little bit quiet. Probably a move. It seems like Rothrot would be maybe the obvious choice. You'd you asked you Brad for adela Vega Or is it Ken maybe preparing for this weekend's games.

Yeah, I think it'll probably be Ryan Kent and Pedro will come on here on the right side, put Rothrock on the left. Rothrock didn't I mean one of the surprises, right, He was a surprised last year, but continues to be the workhorse for Schmetzer, and he trusts his tactical awareness and most importantly, he trusts his work rate. Right, he's gonna be the guy that's gonna track back. Very rarely do you see Alex rolled On in a two B

At this point in the game, ball.

Gets whipped in and headed clear by Alex rolled On. It was a ball on the right hand side by it was fear Hooven played it towards the back stick, towards Lozano. Now he's gonna go short balls on the corner stick to Lozano, whips it in, cleared by goalscorer Ferrera. Nothing forward for Kent. He's gonna hold up play. He should maybe go left, conquer the ball away up there. Bren Schmetz is not gonna like that.

As rold On goes down pull Down's first off, it comes San Diego with Lozano down this near side to the left, eighteen yard from the endline. Drops the left shoulder comes on his right goes back to Della Tory with his right foot. Now, good doyt, I mean international of course, many years down in San Jose, the ball gets flicked in dropped down sound is clear that lines all came from that giveaway unnecessarily in the middle of the pub.

Right, Yeah, that's where, like we said, San Diego wants. But that's where Ryan Ken has to be more complacent. He's just gotta trust his runners, he says, Jesus running into space. He's got Rothrock. Those are willing runners that are gonna do the job. Just knock that ball into space. And then you don't lose the ball in the middle of the pitch you use. You lose it in your attacking third, which is no problem. The sounders can get set.

It's a Lasky on. It's like Valocari off. Sometimes you don't get these natural changes. But the players are in the other start of the field. They have ten seconds to get off, so they go off at any side of the field.

Now the so you gotta scan the field about who's come off. You will switch around Stu Orchids has it. We'll get a confirmation of that. We'll goes back to Cuculazana. What shifts out to the far side the right?

What goes into Drea turns out a pressure right corner of the box.

It's first gop in support. If he goes from first GoF to the far side, first off has it. Number six available plays into the right. Sounders hanging just inside their eighteen yard box. It's defending their goal now so far Severn fright quiet in the second half, which exactly what.

The Sounders wanted to get hit the sixty fifth minutes, McNair drives forward the big center back because San Diego Sounders when at top of their box. Now come away with it with rough Rock because he drives forward.

It's well done by Paul. Rob Rock notices the pressure. I was just gonna say how tight San Diego was coming over to this side. And that's a switch that you want Knew who gives the ball away. Ryan Kentz just run out of gas in this one. I think he who thinks he's gonna be the runner to be checks for feet. But then that what I told Ryan kent last week was that is gonna be the relationship that you're gonna have to build on this team. Everyone

Top of the bucks.

We strike from the sup to say, but left foot of Stephan Frey went down to his right, took a wicked deflection, stuck out his left.

Foot, and goodness, what a save that was.

I mean, what did I tell you? That's exactly what they did last week?

When Tommy smashes the ball in, Yeah, Steph thinks it's going one way, it hits off this little bumper and all of a sudden gets sent and that's that's incredible right there. It's a hockey save. At its finans, you lift the leg center of gravity. I mean, just imagine you're standing in one position, you go to push snink in its one way, and then all of a sudden you have to almost stop yourself, stick that leg up and make a fantastic set well, the crowd.

On their feet, giving Haesus Freer the evation that he deserves first goal for the Sounders. Off he comes, on, comes Danny Mussovski, Brian Kent makes way for Pedro de la Vega, and it will make one correction. It was delatory off Elosky on Belakari sitting in the middle.

Two changes for sound.

It's gonna be a goalkick for the Sounders, driven forward by Stephen Fry towards Mussovski, of course, had that wonderful run of goals, and that's something that Ferrera can now look to.

Five goals out five straight games for Mussovski came to an end, LAFC where to set the bench to try and be ready for the weekend game against Portland's all whipped in, cleared by rolled on. Now it comes to Rossnick for five goals in the last five games for Albert Rossnick.

He just gets his pocket pick middle of the park, reverse ball by its first cough.

To losky Town to Lozano on this near side the left, towards the corner flag.

He goes the playards from the end line, double team with Della Vaga back. He goes to Bombino, comes off the shoulder of far I guess over the end line.

It's gonna be a corner kick for San Diego.

Remains sounders one San Diego nil here in the sixty eighth minute.

Well, you have to say the difference in a San Diego FC versus FC Dallas. When FC Dallas came in here, it almost looked like, yes, they want to play out of the back, but then they didn't know what to do afterwards. And now you watch the San Diego team with a real style of play, and it's actually really fun to watch and a great challenge.

Balls all comes in, whipped in and headed cleared by Christian, rolled on, picked up by Dryer, dry forward.

Left corner of the box. Now flicks it with his left foot, picked.

Off by the sound as there comes de la Vega away from pressure. It challenges by three four five Navy Blue Shirts loses the ball.

Brian Schmetz. Hear the whistle.

That's Brian Schmitz asking for his teammates, his team to get back in defend ball top of the box. Then it goes to Valacari left corner of the eighteen yard box, back to its verskov challenged by Delaveaga top the box. He goes to the good doin back to Valacari. Overlapping run by Bombino. Valacari goes drops his shoulder. Fargas challenging now pushes him back back line of Sounders and the Green Shirts can now steps top of the box as the ball goes all the way back to McNair and.

The halfway line. San Diego in possession, Sounders leading one goal to nil. He approached the seventy minute mark. Sounder is leading one nil and this corporate is presented by Qua Bank.

Valakari has it, cuts it top of the box of Bombino, clips towards the back stick. It bounces through Cadrea that to Viehooven such towards the black stick and it was a stretch headed by Lozano.

You couldn't get anything on it. Picked up by Fry and they quickly throw now closed down by Mortinez is going to be a throw in for the Sounders.

Look it's ultimately it's good defending from the Sounders. San Diego's got a lot of possession on this left hand side. You can see that they want to come to Chuokey after coming on the field, and then they do a good job of really just not overstepping pushing the ball, and then San Diego's gotta go all the way back to their center backs and find.

An outlet on the other side. And it's good defending in the in the end from the Sounders.

The Sounders FC socket is presented by prominent Swedish official healthcare.

Partner of Sounders FC.

You mentioned Sounders back here at Luminfield mid after your kickoff against Minnesota, riding high this year as our San Diego.

Minnesota is sitting third coming into tonight's.

Games and it comes Christian rolled on driving forward, tracked well by in Lasky back he goes to Vargas. Get more composed of this second half, Alex to della Vega.

Clows down by Bombino, look given go and then turns the corner, defending well by San Diegos. Ball goes back just too.

Hawkins almost gets caught and it's just a little slow by Stoop.

A little softball byke Alex rolled On. Refree is asking for it looked like there was maybe a handball outside the box.

This flick definitely was outside the box.

Though.

Ferrera's asking for us. That's a referee was right there, Refree making any motion at the Proudness side and you can hear it rooming through the microphone through the replay up on the big screen. As the ball goes in behind, sounds eat to stay focused. Honor goes and clattered into to Stu Hawkin's clumsy bite.

Stu referee gives nothing like then maybe was already going down.

Sounds to be a little bit careful as they lead here one nil? Do they preserve this lead?

In a fifth clean sheet of the season four Stefan Fryar sits in second all time in MLS four clean sheets.

Good switcher play to.

The far side by san Diego picked up now by the experience an of all good doin. It'll be involved in Gold Cup most likely as John the Bell steps.

In well wins.

The ball picked up by rolled On nothing really on for rolled On forward, so it just kind of stabs the ball for.

Referee right there. Christian Wrongo ask him for a free kick in sensed by the referee's lack of decision there. But there comes San Diego now with a dryer out to the right hand side. It's verse cop back to Vie Hoover. The sound is camped outside their eighteen yard box, eleven men behind the ball.

Staffskyt the furthest forward as the ball goes to the right, close down by Rothrock comes back straightforward ball, it tooks first off, clips it in played well by Sue Hawk and strike.

Cluff shot and it goes and that's saved by Zep. Very comfortable this si him as there was a scuff shot by hes McVeagh found himself in the eighteen yard bucks.

I think it was a mix of four or five no calls. Started off with that goalkeeper handball outside of the box, which it certainly looks like you're on the replay we're watching, and then it goes down to CHOOKI then up to Christian and I think the referee said, hey, I gotta let this one lay. So I'm gonna call it one way or another. I'm gonna and sense one of these teams. Then the game turns, it's just back

It feels it's been the story of tonight when Rolldong clicked to the ball in the middle of the park, traveled with it twenty yards, but nothing was really on for him, eventually.

Got his pocket picked. It feels like the lack of options at times when the Sounders have the ball.

Early in that one, though, Christian, the ball that was on was way a wide to Rothrock is sitting in there standing, and then you take the extra touch thinking the defender is gonna come in, and then everything closes down because, like we said in the first half, San Diego wants them, they'll compact things really tight in the middle, so that outlet's got to be sent either over the top out wide, or you gotta draw the foul at the end of the day, if you feel pressure, go

Seventy fourth minute, San Diego had the ball trailing one goal, till against the Sound is they win it getting it away sloppily by Jonathan Bell. Frustration runks the Green Shirts. They look at each other trying to get a gripping. This game again fifty possession for San Diego so far.

It's the mark. Sounds like to hit in every game, especially here at.

Luminfield, and they have not lost thirteen games not lost this year. The last lost was LFC in leagues cut back in August of last year.

There comes good Joy with Bombino and Chuki Lasana. It's actually spelled Chucky and it was after the horror character that he used to give me nightmares.

The kid.

Given when he's an eleven year old. I think it's like in Mexico and his youth. These in the academy, I think it was Pachuca.

Then comes to verse Goov now middle of the park, Raren Schmetzer on his feet, just commanding his team.

It comes dryer, picked up well by.

Alex, but then given away sloppy touch. It's been a story of the night so far by the Sound just haven't been crisp and.

Clean in their possession. As the Sounds pick it up top of the box.

Or place square just surveys dry as he stepped out as he knew who strides food and now with grossneck. See a couple of more potential changes happening down the Sounders bench show Paolo's.

Maybe a young kilane Well goes back to Stephen Fry sound to try to build out the back. We'll touch bull from rolled on to Stu hawk Is on.

His right hand, sign SIPs it into the middle, breaks the line, welders hawk in twins.

Vargas now striding forward, finds de la Vega tough ball, but tries to deal with it. Masovski tries to come across now wins it. Here comes de la Vega outside the for refere had already blown his whist. So look a soft foul on Masofsky.

If I didn't look too much like a foul to me.

That's good movement from the Sounders, and that's what it was always gonna take. And is Stewart Hawkins again with a ball out of the back across the field, almost gets cuts out, cut out, but it finds its way and into that switch from side to side.

That's working for the Sounders.

And now San Diego with some good sustained resher like you said, and if they don't keep the ball for long extended periods of time, it's gonna be a long fifteen minutes to see this one out.

They come bombing or cut in as week of right foot curls it. Another save by ceph and Fry continues to after be solid in the back stick. It was comfortable in the end. That's the seventh shot on goal for San Diego, thirteenth shot in total. Sephro and Fry has had to make a good handful of saves tonight.

The last fifteen Here at lumin Field Sports Radio nights nine to fifty KJR.

AM, wherever you're listening to us Sounders leading one gold to nil on a perfect night early kick off here a lumin Field, the crowd is filled in.

The ball gets shifted from this side of the field of the far side to top goal score. Dryer comes on his preferred left foot, go square to a good door, it's square to it's verse GoF Trice occurred to the fast stick goes over goal kick sound As remains one nil.

Yeah, it's it's gonna be a long fifteen minutes for the Sounders. And I think this injection right here of a couple of subs oldbed looks tired tonight.

We set it from the beginning. I'm not sure who else is gonna come out.

Alex maybe like for light for Kilani Coloney does it needs a little injection to some case and power.

And I think schmidtz this big.

Thing is gonna be when the ball does go wide, we have to get a player that's gonna step out. It can't be we allow Choki or Dryer to have five and six touches on the ball.

Have to put guys under pressure.

Sat Paul Ross Roy at you other right side, so Alex Wadon will stand on that right back spot. Coloni watched his step up a line play on that right outside the field of the three. Paul rothrock off, Kilani On obd Vargas off, as bren Evans mentioned, and it's jp no better player to bring on the field try and close this game. Now is getting the final twelve minutes of the ninety we'll sit in alongside Christian rolled on this first off gives some Masaoski a little nudge

On this near Si, I think it's a good sub Kilaney coming into this one. It'll give a little pace and power now and a little bit of life on this right hand side because everything's been coming down san Diego's left hand side, Colonie will provide that cover number one.

He's a defender by nature.

The number two is going to provide some physicality and if he's got a foul high up the field.

No problem. Sounders to deal with it. Be big, be strong, be brave out there.

A little late from Masoski a free you're not interested giving a yellow card? Who's right from the assistant referee? Well, wherever you head it, Discount Tyre wants to get you there safely.

Shop for Tyres with treadwell your personal tig all right at discount tire dot com. Sound as one san Diego nil off the back of first goal in MLS regular season play for the big money signing in the off season.

He's who's Ferrera playing at the number nine.

Will bounces through Stu Hawkins a little dangerous high kick, clatches Lasky in the face.

No foul given. Alex all Don is having a word. Maybe needs to get back into position, freeze, let things go.

Look points sure, well it's not a high kick.

He's a foul and they're asking for a deflection. Maybe the sounds throwing.

If it's a head intruder should have done. Watch the replay here Stuugh Hawkins looking at the ball the whole time. The head barely even comes down the bole shoulder height. So maybe if the referee had a better view it's a foul. But I don't think he saw too.

Much in it, because then you go a have it clip of the heels on good joy, a combination of Mussovsky and rolled darn as well on.

Found the ball strode forward, referees whistle pulls it back. It's gonna be a chance for san Diego here left channel tucked in this inside the width of the eighteen yard box on his left hand side, thirty yards or so from the n light. So chance for the culture right foot of Lazano or the left foot of dryer. The sound is holding their line three yards or so inside their eighteen yard box, line of seven green shirts Navy blue shirts packed in towards the back six. It's gonna be dryer.

This Zano walks away and holds his position top of the eighteen yard box and it goes towards the backstick edding clear by Alex Roldan and picked her well by Kilaney striding forward, go.

Down Sun, Yes he does, obvious yellow card and that's a great foul, great free kick. Well played Kilanie, and look.

That that's why he's brought on this field, because he's gonna fight for every single ball. A lot of attacking players for the Sounders aren't gonna challenge for that header, knowing that you're going up against a big center back. But Kilanie undersized what strong willing, and he'll make a defender think twice and do a good job. Commit a foul, yellow card, stop the counter attack, especially down one. Nothing can't afford to go down to nil at this point.

For San Diego.

So a couple of changes, who from the right back goes off LUFTI send will go and slide on not right handside.

More of a field plav They'll slide that trying to provide a bit more attacking threat. He slid Valakari off this time. So I'll get that one right, I believe anahell. If an lafc man comes on as another number nine, weld not forward challenge well by Lisano. So head coach mikey bar For San Diego's made his moves. Tacking players are on the field, no doubt about that.

Sounders now take advantage and maybe a little bit of space in behind and through the midfield as they chase the game.

Sound is showing what good teams do, finding a way to get the goal.

Now the defense boll goes back to the Sansos this, I'd be clear say with his left foot doesn't pick it up out of bounds. He goes over the Sounder's bench, could be throwing Sounders remains more nil.

But that's a pressure that you want. And that's what San Diego did in the first half, really, really well. Was any any backpass that went in a willing runner was gonna go and put pressure. And that's what happens if Danny Mozowski doesn't apply pressure and thinks that it's just gonna be an easy clear until Santos takes a touch and San Diego is able to play out of the back. But instead you put in the effort, you get.

Rewarded for it, and majority of the time Lsano has it drops it back to good quick feet, try to knock you down.

The line comes off. Alex rolled on.

There's incredible quick feet, a little hit it up with his left into the air and then a little volley with his left foot. It's a a super high quality player. I've been really impressed him today.

Yeah, it just fills that space right in front of the back floor. It's an important position where you play three in the midfield, a lot of space to cover, so it almost gets caught. He does get caught just about by Dela Vega and then cleaned up by mcpay, almost giving up by the goalkeeper.

This happened in San Diego.

You remember that playing with fire out of the back down in San Diego, and the Sounders were able to create a couple of half chances from it. Remember the first half. First five six minutes into this one, Alex Rodan picks off a pass from Dos Santos and Do Santos has to recover and make a brilliant save. And this is one thing about San Diego. When you play out of the back, you're playing with fire a lot of time.

Your foul given up by young Kilaney, So when's the foul? And then he gives up a foul to the right place, gets a yellow car just stops as the counter or tat boy. San Diego allows eleven Green Shirts back behind the ball. Well, this copywrit in audio cats a Major League Soccer may not be retransmitted, reproduced, or rebroadcast. Well the express written consent of Major League Soccer.

Inside the final seven minutes of this game, sound is leading one goal to nil. There was score line one mil that got three points against FC Dallas. Will it be the same again? Here?

Another clean sheet step and fright, you have to say today he's earned it big.

Time saves in the first half, good play by JP. Tries to roll it down the line, sof he just kind of gives up on end. But now he's gonna back up.

So he comes back with a slight muscular injury that he's coming back from as well, just trying to find his feet.

Mentioned five goals in five straight games, Masofsky.

Yeah, and it's one where we talked about it. We would love to see him start that LAFC game right and really continue that streak. And then you pick up a little bit of an injury and then you gotta work your way back into the lineup. You're not feeling like you have that explosiveness just yet. And JP does such a good job of winning the ball there, and

Yeah, some big games coming up for the Sounders. Travel then to Vancouver to play the number one team. Vancouver and the Western Conference.

Have really found their way in the season. But here come the sound Is Kilani has it. Pegget de la Vega tries to chip the goalkeeper.

You know what, why not?

You'd say, question Mark de la Vega is wide open, But there's some confidence for the young man he had. It just couldn't quite connect.

It couldn't connect the balls just inside of where he wants it to be to really be able to hit that ball and pay some power.

But on the left hand side, they Vega's in.

As Lazana went down, used all that experience, felt the pressure from his left and right went down.

As he went down, he was looking up with the referee work in. The referee had much of a chance.

You have the JP come in here.

Just you see the physicality of it, right, you have JP's given the chance. I don't even think that's a foul too much. It's welled on with the shoulder. There's no pull, there's no arm extended. Let's see JP upset there.

Yeah, it was more Lazana's experience. It's gonna won the day and free peck. Mitch gives the free kick.

To San Diego less of center, thirty yards out, two man wall of de la Vega and Rosna.

It's gonna be Lozano with his right foot.

It's gonna clip it in, headed clear by new acrobatically as always, arms flail in the air after the ball goes out. Now flick back in by San Diego, Stephan and Fry comes out, ball bounces around Sefron, Fry wins.

The free kick. Let's stretching a little bit, refereen. I mean the goalkeeper always get the benefit of the doubt there.

Pratt, Yeah, he will and Stephan Fry's field in this one. As he comes down, I think he may have gotten stepped on. So Bill get swung out wide here left foot first time service. It's an outswinger. Stephen Fry comes to get it. It looks like it just gets wrapped up there and again, like you said, always getting the benefit of the mid aubu.

Maybe it's a little calf cramp on that one. I think you see on the on there he's laughing.

See how does a goalkeeper get cramped?

Yeah, just a cramp, he said.

I was down there at halftime, and it's not it's not a warm night. It's just an accumulation of games, right, especially with that one. I talked to Menhart after the game and he said in the locker room people's feet were just burning from that game on on turf with the sun blazing, And yeah, it's seventy five degrees outside, but on that turf it's a good ninety five degrees. It's way hotter and you're wearing black shoes.

Three minutes ago of the nineties, sound is leading one goal to nil here on Sports Radio nine fifty am or gets not long by Stephen Fry, earning that clean sheet so far as the all gets.

Sliced by Goodyg's this near sight to Lazanna brings it.

Down well overlapping run by Bombino comes inside in his right foot, clips it forward to and Hell picked up by Colooney, then cleared by new chase, down by Missovski's Docentos scurries back into his box, ball goes back behind the Santos closed down by Lesovski, almost gave it up. Now double team by picked up by the Sounders. It comes Rosneck. You have the chance to play de la Vega slows it down de la Vega.

Now it's closed down by two men, luckless and being one of them, left corner of the box. Quick feet by De la Vega. Chance gone for the Sounders.

Earns A throwing the fast Shine throws it in quickly towards Nude, slices it to the side netting.

The chance was there, Brad Rosneck had of You do see Rosneck giving up the wrong pass too often?

I think you may have assumed that Pedro was just offside looking at the center back for San Diego.

But the play is there, the ball is there.

Not often do you see Albert kind of waning in a decision to slip a ball in behind and just take the chance. But the sounders again putting Docentos under pressure, and it's a willingness for the runner, right Dan, he doesn't have to on that one.

There's two minutes left.

I saved my legs, but it said you put them under pressure and end up with a little half chance.

San Diego with the pull just in front of Brian Schmizer KUDOI has a dress to clip it four down this near side. Alex Roldan goes up so you orchids can't get that. Velosky has it, runs it down to the top of the box. The Lozano scuff shot. It's gonna be a goal kick.

As you mentioned your sound as a back at home to face Minnesota United FC at the Emerald Queen Casino Pitcher lumin Field on Sunday, June first, at three pm Pacific.

Watch the match via the.

MLYSS season Pass on the Apple TV app and listen on KJR and l RAY thirteen sixty am. The Provident Swedish premt show starts at two thirty pm.

Well, you just saw here Alex Rodan cramping in his right calf and he looks over to the bench saying I need a sub and any road stands up and says, we don't have any more sets. You're finishing until Chris Cornish comes across with a little bit of a little bit of magic water.

We saw it new who make can run down the left hand side. Brian Schwantze mentioned it this week that you knew who. He's finding his own form.

He does have the freedom to go. We've seen it more in this past couple of weeks. He's got the engine to do it. It's always been a rock on the left hand side, but.

You know, getting him involved.

It's also allowed similar Ryan Cannick to drop the left sholto on their right foot.

If you play with four in the back, you have to give the opportunity for outside backs to get forward. But at the end of the day, it's up to know who that If he is going to get forward, it's got to be quality service every time he gets the ball, and if it's not, then he's gonna be in trouble with a quick counter attack.

Rumbles in the crowd groans as the board goes up down below us on the fourth official five minutes of at a time. Here at Lumenfield Sounds leading one goal to nil against San Diego. San Diego is sicking.

San Diego is sitting in second position coming today's games. All goes in and volleyed clear by Trelawney.

Listen so far as Stewart Hawkins with his first real forty five minutes in Major League Soccer, putting in the work, and he's been in the right position the.

Majority of the time. Again he's in the right spot.

The header away from Home, you said it just defend.

First, do your job, defend you, then let the players in front of you do the magic. It comes Lazana close.

Now back Colone again. I was talking to Keith Costigan today. He's calling the Apple TV game. You used, of course be the voice of the sounders, and talks about the LFC game. What a disappointment that was. But Colooney had a great game. As the ball gets clicked forward, goes over the end like welky sound as it loudes Lozano's running from left to the inside. It's gonna be a goalkick remains sound as one. San Diego nil, renevance.

Yeah, And at the end of the day, if you're gonna play in the ninety ninety second minute. It's gonna be about defending when you're only up one nil. The amount of pressure that San Diego is gonna gonna push on you, and it's how how strong can you? It's the willpower at the end of the day, when guys are cramping, goalkeepers cramping from a tough a tough weekend game and a tough stretch of games. It's about willpower. And so if you're gonna defend, defend and do it well.

Well, it goes in so rushnack. Now he fans the over quick Christian roll gone inside the eg and yard bucks. Hegoes, strikes it good save by Dos Santos Masovski Dela Vega square. Christian decided to put his head down.

Strike it well, Well, that's a midfielder in the ninety third minute who's played two back to back ninety plus minute games, who has got no other options. No more legs and just Alex to put his put his head down, put his foot through the ball and it's a one handed saved from Dos Santos.

Who was leaning slightly to his right and made the safe.

Looked a little tight to slip in Pedro or Musaski up top there, So I think Christian does the right thing.

Two and a half the five gone here Blumenfield. Sound has continued to lead here one goal to nil, and as we mentioned back here on Sunday afternoon, to play third place team in the Western Conference Minnesota.

San Diego second coming into today's games, Sound is fifth coming into today's game.

So it sounds like the ability to close this one out, slow the game down. There's Whereuznak's gonna put the ball down. It was a giveaway, right. I think it was McNay who just let the ball slide under his foot. He goes out for a throwing the fast.

Right you've seen listen tonight.

Coming off such short rest from a Saturday game for both squads, it's it's never gonna be a perfect game and probably not as clean as either team would like it. Certainly not the Sounders. San Diego was the better team. In the first half. Statistically San Diego better on the night. But then San Diego's got to make some subs, and you've seen the game change for them quite a bit.

It's another green shirt down on the ground, JP got ham it into We look.

At the replayer right now, Brad, and this is coming from on hill.

Milca's just he shoulder milk in a little.

Bit of clock. Yeah, popped in on his feet, Yeah, popped on his feet.

Sounds have it thirty yards for gold, middle of the park with Christian WORLDO.

And now the passes start to connect. All goes in JP.

Now just calmly plays a bat to Sue Hawkins, who just slices the ball out a misplayed by Stu.

Maybe holding his croy and maybe he caught his foot on the turf. Looks like he maybe snags something. So then the most important people the next three days, it's gonna.

Be the medical staff. Yeah, it's gonna be if you lose Stu Hawkins Jackson. Reagan's gonna have a speed recovery back into this one. But they have some options, like we said, maybe you see new who come in as a center back. A little bit more discipline is going to be required of him there. And then you put in a readmaker Widing as a left back, so we'll have some options.

But then it doesn't get any easier from here.

Final thirty seconds gonna sound as holdout. As Losana goes towards the end.

Like good play by Kilany slides.

Him, the sound is gonna have to defend this corner kid.

This is the last chance before San Diegos to tick Towards the five minute mark of the five added on big Dos Santos goalkeeper all in yellow, coming up sitting on the pak spot. More comes in challenged by Dos Sanzos could have headed clear and then up over.

The top and wide high fives all around. It was Tela Vega who won that header and the referees whistle is right about there. We're pasted the five minute mark.

The crowd know it.

Three points look secure and it's not been easy.

They've huffed the puff today of the sounders and again as all good teams do.

They grind out a win, earn the three points and the referees whistle guts go to his mouth and there's the final whistle. Big time win for the Sound. You can see it on the players, and it.

Was Jesus Ferrera in the fifty eighth minute, a turn and a strike with his left foot, but his first goal for the Sound as a regular season play, and he earns the three points in stepan fry.

Another clean sheet for the Sounds. Goalkeeper run Evans.

Your final thoughts, Yeah, look, not the prettiest of game to start this one off, but you see what it means to the players down there, and sometimes in these games when the first forty five doesn't go according to plan and then the second half starts off that way as well, it's about getting the result and how you can grind it out. And I think you see the players new from the start that this was gonna be

Yet revenge after the three zero lost down in Southern California earlier in the season, The Sounders come back, don't play their best game, but they win one goal to nil to a team that has not lost in May five thirteen points out of a fossil fifteen for San Diego coming into today's game. So Sounders continue to add points to their total as they jump to twenty six points now on the season. Thanks for everyone involved in

The Sounders FC Postmatch Show starts now.

Well, it was a beautiful evening in Seattle, and it was a beautiful win for your Seattle Sounders won nothing tonight over San Diego.

Hey sus Ferrara scores his first goal for the Rave Green.

Ends up being the game winner for Seattle as they beat San Diego, a team with a last too about a month and a half go down in Southern California. Tonight they get the revenge and they get the win. And this week where three matches in nine days, all my Home continues with another dub that is two straight wins over Dallas and here San Diego with Minnesota ahead on Sunday. Great night here Loominfield, We welcome you in to the Sounders FC postmatch Show. Jackson Felts alongside the

We talked about how this would be a redemption game and they had to be patient, picked their times, you know, make sure they play the right ball. And when they did go, I thought they did a really good job of going at pace and going with numbers. We'll talk about it later in this in this post game that is drowning on into my bedtime, but we'll talk about more.

They could put out the door by eight thirty, Okay.

Buddy, I have, I have. I'm a working man now, Okay, not the fun kind.

It's it's a lot to no, it's I think there was a good game for him, though, And like I said, they picked their moments. I think they could have been cleaner and more clinical in those moments, especially towards the end. I don't think they made the right decisions, but we can talk about that more.

Yeah, I thought it was a better performance than Dallas. I think maybe close, but.

He's thinking again, Yeah, I think it is close.

But I would say this that they're gonna get in the locker room and because it's the second of three, they they're gonna look at it and say, Okay, put it behind us. They gotta get healthy again and get ready to go to Minnesota. Is a very good team. I like your comment about they picked their times right.

They did.

They could have got another goal or two, honestly on some of the counter attacks late in the game when San Diego is coming forward. But another clean sheet. That's clean sheet number six for the club this year. So I'll take it. It wasn't as pretty as you want, But again, if you can come through a season and have some wins that aren't as pretty, you're not playing at your best, then you'll take as a coach, as a player, you'll take as a fan, you'll take it.

I feel like we said the same things on Saturday, Well, it was as pretty as you want, and that's what we let the Free Games show with today. But well, it wasn't as pretty as you want, but it wasn't one nothing win. And I'm gonna say the exact same thing I said in the postgame show back on Saturday in October. When this team is looking at a top three seed in the Western Conference, we're gonna look back at the schedule. We're gonna see the one nothing went

Here's where I think this is a little bit of a better win. I agree with you. This was San Diego versus Dallas. Y. San Diego really had a they did very well against us in the first game. So and to come back in the rubber match and get the win at home and to get six points, right, that that is a good thing. So I think they're gonna be somewhat satisfied in the locker room. I thought some of the young people who came Stuart Hawkins did his job today.

Good for that kid.

Kilani did his job today and came in. He was he created some things he got a yellow card because of a fast break. He didn't give the ball away too much. He was a spark and that gives he should have some confidence from that game. And I'll tell you what the goal. Parreira's goal, great cross from Paul Rothrock. That's his third assist. Ferrera's first touch, that's the quality we are hoping to see from him. His first touch

Well, if you talk about these games, you talk about going into the locker room, you have your two games now on Saturday and Wednesday. You're going again on Sunday, and you're thinking, Okay, our legs are tired, but we already got our two wins, right. We grinded these games out. They really did get against Dallas again one zero. It was what the eighty seventh minute of the PK happened. And then you have it here again today where they scored in the second half, but then they did sit

Yeah?

Well, really quick before we take a break, py'all, we'll get back to that next segment. I will say.

With the win, Sounders now up to twenty six points, fourth place in the Western Conference. Not all results have finished tonight, but wanted to give you that update.

Sounder's taking care of business tonight against San Diego. A one nothing win here tonight at Luminfield, A beautiful evening here at loumin As. The Sounders took care of business to get their win, and it's time for Emerald Queen Casino Play of the match.

One goal tonight.

That's exactly where we're going It's the first for Haes who's Ferrara, and it ends up being the game winner.

Day committed down the line and go, sir rough full can you get that? Fust whips it in his Ferreira turns strikes and there it is for Fererra.

He gets off the mark for the Sounders, his first goal in MLS play for his new club, and what a time to do it.

Sounders won San Diego nil.

The Play of the match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest. And we kind of talked about it a little bit there in that first segment, Kellen, but what a good play the cross from roth Rock, the finish from Ferrero.

It was. It was really well executed. It was.

And then except they picked their times to go and when they did go, they went with pace and they went with with numbers, and that's what they did here. Alex had played a great ball around the corner to a you know, a running on Paul Rothrock, who did it all night. He was the first guy to kind of get behind that back line when he made those runs and he finally did it and he connected on it as well. And the quality and I'm gonna say that word of an underline and very bold and in

But the defender then is a flybyer.

He just kind of slides right by, thank you very much, and he finds a way to put his left foot through that for that through the goal, and it's just it's the quality and awareness of that turn is going to be missed by many people. It is such a hard thing to do, especially when you're a goal scorer like he is.

Yeah, you're nailed at. Here's the other thing. He got to that near a post, which is what we talked about before Dallas and what we talked about before this game and what Brian Schpetzer said, You've got to do that to create opportunities, so good for him and Kellen you you're absolutely correct, and it was such a great turn and then the goalkeeper had just absolutely no chance, so a great finish. It's it's his first goal for

And how about the defensive job where San Diego, I mean, what did Seattle finished with Keel you were saying it was forty four percent possession for the Sounders, and just the defending that happened over the last thirty minutes of this game, where they were just peppering the box with crosses and shots, and I think the job defending, I mean,

End, well, the big one right before the half kept it at zero zero that would have given San Diego all the momentum going in at halftime. And then the skate save where it.

Was a deflection sixty six minutes.

Yeah, and he good for him, I mean athletics say that. We both looked at each other going, oh my goodness, how did he do that?

And then he pinged it first time right out to Alex rolled On. I'm not sure that he is that quick that he could first time a ball.

I mean, what a player right makes a save then distributes right away.

That's our captain, baby, Yes, but again keeping the clean sheet, I mean that's he is really sharp right now. And you know, if he can continue this way, I think he gets another year, another two years. I don't know how long after that, but I think today, he was as sharp as as he's been at his decision making. There was a couple where he came off the line right and and san Diego's making a run through and he's right at the edge of his box and he's just stopping things before they get going.

I don't know about next year.

I don't know about two years or five years down the road for Steph and Fry, but at the moment, he's playing amazing and we want him for the rest of the year as well. So he again, Stephen Frye makes saves that we say now are Stephen fry normal saves, And we're going to continue to say this. If someone else made those saves that he made today, he'd be Team.

Of the Week.

Yeah.

Absolutely, that's that's something that everyone is.

Everyone in this league, ourselves included, are so used to Stephan fry making these incredible saves that it's just a normal save and he makes it look so easy and it is incredibly hard to do so, and so there's there's that, But there's also the organization piece, and I mean we missed this as well, on coaching staffs, on players sides as his fans as well. The organization that Stephan Frye has to do with that. His center backs have to do that I hear all the time Alex

Yeah, phenomenal performance and I'm glad he got Player of the Game. He deserved it.

We're gonna take a break here, We're gonna come back and hopefully here from head coach Brian Schmitzer.

That's just a few minutes away.

Let's hatch out the bowels of lumen Field, Seattle Sounders with a one nothing win tonight over San Diego.

Here is the head coach, Brian Schmitzer.

The thing that we'll do with this game though, is, you know, we'll obviously assess the first half and was it more than just the technical breakdowns? I mean, logo bid must have lost four balls in a row, and you know it was it more than just the technical piece? Was there attacktic? Did we get something wrong tactically? Did we not cover something when they pray? You know, we got to look at that. But what I can tell you what I might be on repeat is Stephan Fry

Right, Juda, thanks congratulations too. On the wind, I wanted to ask just it seemed like you had Danny and Pedro ready to go for Jyzeu's Can you talk a little bit about just that that moment timing.

It's, you know, whatever happens up there, whatever you want to believe. I mean they were coming off the field and you know, fate has a way of being kind. You know, Hey, Esus is expecting a child, He's got a busy week. I hope this, you know this, this, this goal starts him off on a good way. We needed him to score. He needed to score, you know, to get some of the fans off his back. I think he's done a lot of good things, and tonight's or in the winning goal. Just you know, it's the first.

And then with Stewart that decision there was it a game that you don't necessarily want to have Jackson kind of playing, because at that point there was a.

Lot of great question, great question Jada Jackson was only scheduled for X amount of minutes and it wasn't sixty eight or whatever. Whenever the injury happened, he Jackson couldn't play that long. So Stewie's just going to go in next man.

Up to that question, I was wondering if did you get any sense on the gravity of Kim Kyhey's injury at all?

No, Well, Mria tomorrow, it's a left calf issue and you know we'll see like he was stretching it. He's put a lot of heavy minutes in. It's unfortunate that you know, both Kim Key he and the I mar get injured in respective game. But the resiliency of the club, so we always preach guys step up, Jackson will be better and ready to play, and you know it's just next man up.

You seem like all your subs really worked out and you end up on Tapa San Diego. No, how important is that in terms of moving forward and kind of giving the whole thing just more confidence.

Well, the team didn't have a ton of confidence at halftime. I think the subs, Yes, they came on and did their jobs. I talked about pitt Well, I talked about Coloni and JP, Missoski, Pedro.

Good.

Those guys came on and did good. They all worked. But San Diego is a good team. You know, in the first half they took it to us. I mean, their possession is really good, and you know they couldn't find a goal to you know, compliment all the possession that they had. But Mike does Mikey does a good job, and that's a good team. So credit to him. Made

All Right, we'll swing over to this side of the room and solved the question. You're okay, George, coach, it.

Looked like when Stewart came on that you moved to street in the back.

No, we always play three to two in our possession, but it's a forty three one.

Just if you could talk a little bit about his performance and the fact.

That unexpectedly good. We have high hopes for him. We have high hopes for him.

You know.

One of the reasons why we signed kim Key he was because we didn't think Stewart was quite ready. But if the kid can put performances like that, if he can show us that, you know, he can do that on a consistent basis, then he's ready.

Hi, coach, forgot you on the wind.

What would you say are some of the key differences between the first and second half And what did you say to the players going into that second half?

Well, we tried to change some things up tactically to try and get past their press. They have a four to three to three and block US six in the middle of the park, and we weren't able to get past their pressure, so we made some tactical switches there. The second half wasn't our best in possession either, but.

It was just enough.

I mean, there was that, you know, a couple of moments. I think some of our transition moments. Obviously after the goal. After we scored the goal, they had to come out and we had some more transition moments. But you know, I don't think this was our best performance. And again we'll watch the tape and we'll try and assess it and figure out how we can do a little better.

All right, seen some hands on zoom and if not, my eyes don't deceive me. I think that's Kellen Rowe from the booth. Kellen, if you want to bring yourself off tout and ask a question, we'll take it.

Hey, coach, congratulations, Look, look, two games you kind of grind it really hard there this Sunday game against a team that's once again higher in the standings. What is your message to the guys who are coming in Obviously a little rotation with the injuries, but they had tired legs.

Well, the message is keep doing what you're doing. Look, we get an extra day rest against there. But Kellen to your point, because you know what you're talking about. It's we got to assess and then if there's guys that have a little nick or they've had heavy minutes. You know, Alex was cramping there at the end, we might have to make some changes to start the game against Minnesota. And that's just par for the course in

All right, we'll go to Felipe Machada next from l RA thirteen sixty am.

Felipe, go ahead, Thank you, Coach Bray.

And you just said it wasn't your best performance, but at the end three points or three points the second half, you had a Georgie Minongu kind of ready to come in and you end up at sending Klennie. What does Klannie offer to you different than the Georgie minong When I want to know how how was your defending? What do you think about the team defending the last fifteen minutes of the game.

Thank you well.

Kalani is a game player. He gives effort energy. Georgie gives energy, but he's an attacking player. I just felt it this game was so close that I needed a more, you know, two way guy to help Alex. Alex has had heavy minutes. It was just a decision that you make on a game day. Nothing to do with Georgie not being good enough to be inserted into the game. Georgia is a tremendous young player, good talent, but this game was just Kalani was the right choice.

All right, we'll go to Diego next and then let's see a couple of fabs, which is fine, Diego go ahead.

We need the mic.

Wells true for are you working at Partis Freendo, Colossias and.

Gambia?

Okay, Gambia, Partillo and Casa.

Congress on the win?

Uh?

Similar to the past game. We won this game with some level of suffering.

Uh.

But there's a saying in in soccer that when a team wins, you don't change the team.

Are you planning on making changes.

On the team.

Yeah, we might have to, depending on how they come out physically, and obviously there's going to be one change because kim keyhe is out, so that's one change already, and then rotation with some positions. I mean, it's normal. It's the benefit of again having a deep squad. Craig has given me a lot of players that you know, can do the job, so I have to use them.

That is Sounders FC head coach Brian Schmetzer falling tonight's one nothing win over San Diego back here in the broadcast booth. Here on the postgame show, Jackson Felts Pete viewing, and somebody who actually knows about going to say that was the quote, you actually know what you're talking about, Kelln Rowe.

It's the first time I've heard that all year. But that's okay, thank you coach.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you what I like Brian's comments about He gives shout outs to all the guys who come in off the bench. He talks about the it, he talks about the you know, next man up for the team, and you know, really he's sending a message to the guys that hey, when we come against Minnesota on Sunday, we expect that we're gonna do the same thing. We're going to get another three points. So I love

Well, as I look at the other smartest guy in the room here, he's writing down his notes. I'm gonna steal little note from you, and it feel it's just it's just three letters there. But it's the DNA, right, It's not the DNA of this team. It's not the DNA of Brian Smetzer. It's the DNA of this club that you find a way to win, that you go the next man up. And it's done it for years

Uh.

And then all of a sudden, Ul Raoul.

Scores and we win one zero. We come out of there, and everyone goes, how did that happen? It was It was a half of assist from me, by the way, don't want to talk about it, but it was a bad pass that got deflected right into Raoul. About I loved this, but you know those kind of moments that continuously happened for these Sounders, the Seattle Sounders club. And if it once is a fluke, two is is okay,

Yeah, it's happened since, not as dramatically as that game. As soon as you started to talk about it, I remember the goal from uh from Raoul. He smashed it.

He hit it so low, forty one yards out.

Yeah, it such a great goal. But those young guys, and you know, you think you were in that locker room. So that locker room must have been just a lot of high five and unhugging because they went in to win a game and they pulled it out. And yeah, that's there's a reason we say this about every fourth game, I think. But there's a reason that the Seattle Sounders have the most points since two thousand and seven when they joined the MLS.

I have a notebook that I take notes in for every single game, and in this notebook, in this kind of folder section right here, I have two things. First is a program from the inaugural Tacoma Defiance match back on March eighth of twenty nineteen. The only other thing I have in here is the game notes and the lineup sheet from that day. Going back to July twenty second of twenty twenty one, when the Sounders started five teenagers, they set a new league record, as defined by players

But no, yeah, Sam and Danny.

Yeah.

I mean those guys are to be fair.

That is also I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that was Obed Vargas's start with the Seattle Sounders.

That was his debut. So pretty incredible that that they were able to do that.

I mean, like we talked about the DNA and I'm going to steal your note again, but that DNA of the Seattle Sounders we talked about it's not just this team, It's not just Brian Spencer. It is the full club of the Seattle Sounders that has that DNA of.

Next man up.

It was, by the way, that that debut for Obed Vargas is he was fifteen years old with three hundred and fifty one days. That's the third youngest player in league history to make that debut.

And look at the star.

We have Pete what's that name on the bench right.

There, Jimmy Midranda, oh, Kelen Ra Okay, how about that bench?

Stephen Cleveland, Hey, Andrew Thomas was also on the bench that day. Alex Villanueva won all is gosh, Freddie Montero was on the bench too with it.

If we didn't have Freddy, myself and Raoul, this has been the youngest lineup and bench that would have ever been around in the MLS. I mean, Alex Villanueva is a thanks still a teenager, Holy cow, Jan Alvarez, it was a teenager at the time. Andrew Thomas was just freshly out of college. I mean this is a young, young lineup.

Yeah, how about that one nothing to win?

And that was We still still have it in my notes and I'm gonna keep it in here because we reference it so damn much. What a win that was for the Sounders, and what a win it was tonight for the Sounders one nothing over San Diego tonight at Lumenfield. As the sun sets on the stadium, we'll take one more break on the postmatch show. We'll come back and wrap it up by looking our final thoughts here to on tonight's win and also Minnesota ahead.

Pete. You know you want it, you know you love it. It's so dang good.

And guys, let's take a look ahead at what's next for the Sounders. It's not a Saturday match. They actually have an added day of rest. It's a Sunday match here at lumen Field. It's also a slightly earlier kickoff. Gonna be a three o'clock kickoff against Minnesota United at

Folks.

You can also watch the match on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV up and listen in Spanish language on l Ray thirteen to sixty and with the final few minutes tonight, I think the question that I'm having Kellen Pete is a do the Sounders rotate or do they just kind of throw, you know, Pedro back in there and obviously make up for the kim Key heat injury left calf injury. According to Brian Schmitzer, we'll see

For me, you rotate more than that.

Look, there's a lot of games being played, and you're gonna have a lot of games in there's gonna be you have an ability to give guys time at home that normally don't get their starts. And for me, especially with what what coach Smetzer said on his on his press conference, you know Alex Roldan, he cramped at the end there, Christian Christian hasn't really had any time off. Albert had injury problems earlier on, so you can maybe see that change.

But I liked what I saw from petere V la Vega in that in that second half.

I liked what I saw with uh Kolani, maybe giving Georgia run out and get him some confidence so he can kind of come through. And then for me, it's the one that kind of stays and is stagnant is hazus fer era, because if you have a forward, and I've said this many of times both on this in interviews two players themselves, forwards run on streaks, and if you can find a streak and you find the find

You let you let those.

Forwards get their streaks and you let them run it out. And so I think Hazus for Era is one of those guys that has to be one of the first names on that team sheet comes Sunday.

I like your thought process. Do you put him up front or do you put him wide and get Moose up front?

You know, I think you stick with what has worked.

Has been two wins in a row now with Hazus Ferrara as the nine, I think you stick with him as the nine. If you want to get Danny some minutes, you put him wide or you just take off. You say, Hazus, hey, we need to get every one minutes again. You have the first half.

Yeah, And I can see him going to Hayes Susan saying, I need you to play wide when a coach says I need you to do something that lifts you up. But historically Brian does reward those guys who do the job. And JP did the job today, Galaney did the job today. Stuart Hawkins did the job today. He doesn't want to have Jackson Reagan have to go ninety minutes right on Sunday.

He's already he said, he was already on minute restrictions now on Wednesday. That doesn't normally change for those that at home, especially if you don't play that number. That minute number doesn't really change much in half a week, and it usually doesn't change much in a full week.

If you haven't played any minutes in a game.

Well, given the injury to Kim Key, he could you do something where you go to a three five two and have Danny and Hayes, who's play off each other up top, and you have Kilani as your right wing back, and then you build the midfield back from there, and then you're able to say, all right, we're going to run you know, Jackson plus Stu plus Jonathan Bell, and then we have you know, knew who who can slide in.

Yeah, that's a great one. Kill I'm gonna ask you this question. Sometimes, coaches, you've got to manufacture a win, maybe for this weekend. I do love it at Sunday versus Saturday. That extra day is very helpful. But do you go to the team and say, hey, this is that we're gonna get the win this time. We're gonna go three at the back. We're gonna go two upfront.

Well, you play your personnel, but you play your personnel and you play the team that you're playing as well. And so there have been times when you think, and hey, we we're winning right now, why are we changing? But then you realize, oh, because our two starting center backs are heard that our our two midfielders have now played a ton of minutes, that Alex rolled On are kind of the guy we trust on this right side has been playing n ninetynute ninety minute. And we have another

Here's the other thing. He said it during his press conference that they're gonna look up Friday and see where everybody's at. So all all of our comments right now, it might be Alex, can you go tomorrow?

Right?

Yes, I can.

I guarantee all the answers of almost everyone there if you're a good pro. And you know this because you have to actually look them in the face and see if they're lying to you, because I was the best at it, and I could lie to a coach's face right there and say, coach, I could do whatever you want.

Yep, yes, sir, yes sir.

Well, as our broadcast director Keeley has very well accurately pointed out, the Sounders have an amazing history against Minnesota. We rarely drop points to them, and especially here at lumin Field, we all remember the Western Conference Final in twenty twenty.
