Welcome to the Sounders FC Postmat Show. Sounders FC Sucker is brought to you by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC. The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now the final form Providence Park here in Portland, Oregon. Your Sounders have come to Portland and picked up a massive two to one win here at Providence Park. Let's head down on the field and here from Christian rolled on with Michelle Wetco. Thank you Jackson, Christian, your first win
against Portland in seven meetings. What works so well for your squad today? Well, really important to defend well, right, This is a team that is really good in transition. So we limited them. We asked them to break us down a little bit more instead of playing the open game. And then we got a hell of a striker that can you know, put the ball in the back of the net. You picked up your fifth career goal against the Timbers. That's the second most goals for any Sounders player against your
rival. What is it about you playing Portland that makes you such a goal scorer? I played a lot of games against Moreland. Uh you know, but in all seriousness, uh yeah, you gotta you gotta step up. Look, our team is struggling a little bit. Sometimes we don't we we don't shoot enough, and uh, you know, if you don't shoot, you don't score, right, So we got a lucky a little lucky with the deflection. But maybe that's something that we've needed third of the way through
the season. Now, you guys aren't where you want to be in the standings. Given all of that, does this win carry a little bit more weight? Absolutely? Uh. We sunk Portland a little bit deeper in the standings and we uh went up a little bit. So uh, really important to uh, you know, win against against rivals obviously, but against Western Conference opponents. Uh, there's added added incentive. There's six point games.
And so really happy about the about the way we've been performing in terms of the intensity and the willingness to to fight for every ball and and you know, I'm just really proud of our group. Could these performance and these three points be the catalyst you guys need for the rest of the season. Yeah, absolutely, Look, we talked about getting three points on the road. You know, this was a really important week because a lot of the teams
around us goot points. So for us. It was extremely important to get those three points. Christian always appreciate the time. Congratulations beautiful goal. Congrats on the win.

That was That was a hell of a fun time, p feeling. That
was a great game. I think that's what the centers have been looking for. The coaching staff, the players. The grit they showed was tremendous. Five subs, they all came in and did the job. When the game ended, they all gathered at the edge of the eighteen that they were defending, and you could just tell that they they did what the kids did in the US Open Cup, which was great, you know, ground out a win and a great That goal that really Diaz hit was beautiful. It was
about ten or fifteen passes before. So I love the celebration. I thought Bell was really good. All bet he's getting better and better. Everybody had I would say at least their best or second best performance. Everybody did their job today. So yeah, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled for the coaches. I'm thrilled for the players and the fans. We you know, we get to sit right above them, and they were fired up. So and then
at the end, Brian Schweitzer SUSI game is over. Shook hands with the coaching staff of Portland, went straight to the Sounder fans and gave him a thanks for you know, coming and helping us out. It was a great win for the Sounders today. Yeah, and I thought that it was really a win. I for the fans, of course, but I think the players. This is a players win. What I mean by that is the
players made their own chances. The reason why everybody played well is they took it upon themselves to say, you know what, I have to win my individual battle. I have to go ahead and execute what it is the coaching staff said for me to do. And then when you do that individually and then collectively, you get great wins like this. They were gritty, they
will go dangerous. They played together, they were confident and when they needed to they executed with mister muscle, with the with the black guy tank top, we talked about, with the guns, we talked about he did, he had an eye and it is I mean, let's just get to it right now. Anders if you have the highlight you know, because we're on that subject of the Emerald quin Casino play of the match. In the fiftieth
minute, there was that great combination play. They were playing together some really nice patching between passing between Christian Albert who dished it to Roll and Roll uses a left footed chip from twenty yards out. Here's the highlights. To give the Sounders their two to one win, Ruydiez drops it off to Christian Rolled on thirty awesome goal goes to the foot of August the left foot of strike. What's a goal? Ruey Diaz out of nothing with his left foot finds
the top corner in front of the Timbers army. They go silent and the Sounder celebrating the fuck corner. Timbers one, Sounders two. The play of the match is presented by Emerald quen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest. What a goal that was from her role and it really came down to not only playing together as a team. But yeah, you mentioned too the individual performances, because every single player had their best or second best outing of
the entire season. From John Bell in the back and you know we were guy. This is a big test for John Bell. He flew with flying colors. Christian next to JP was excellent, Obed on the right wing was excellent, Roll up top was excellent. Everybody together had these epics. I mean, how do we pick a Toyota Man of the match? How do we even do that when everybody together played exceptionally and each had great individual performances. Well, I think Ruida's goal gets him that, But you're right,
everybody was really good, Morris, just in winning headers. Yes, on corner case. Everybody did their job. And it's a cult. You know, it's ninety minutes, but you got to do your job in those first minute, second min at third minute, twenty fifth minute. You have to do your job. And I thought, I thought Christian Oldan looked really good in the center of the park. I thought Ovid was good, Alex was good, Reagan was good. So you know that we had we had one
little switch off that cost us a goal. But after that there was not another time where the Sounders except except the corner gig right. But in the second half it was a really complete performance. They're gonna be very proud. It's a twenty eight minute flight home for them. They gotta go home, sleep in their bed and then onto RSL. Brian said this morning, Hey, it's a three game week. The most important game is the first one. So they got that check that box and now it's onto RSL again.
Getting those five subs on the field gives them confidence, gives the player's confidence in them coming off the bench, and now they're gonna have to help out and step up when they go to RSL. Absolutely, we'll talk about RSSEL in a moment. But so Pete's vote goes to Roll for Man of the match, Moz, do you double that? I guess I would go with see now, Okay, you know this is young, this is a democracy.
Fair enough. When Roll got his brakes, Remember we gave the Man of the match to Obed and you made the comment of like, come on now, and I gave it to Obed that day and I think Obed, for me, if I'm being honest with myself, might be number one. But we didn't give it to Roll just a couple of weeks ago. So your Lota Toyota dealers are proud to present tonight's man of the match. But I agree with you, Mice, because OVID was tremendous today. I'm off
for the democracy. I'm off for the democracy. There's no doubt the end of the day. But a difference in the game was the second goal. You can't go against the game winner like you just can't. He just picked out the corner and just curled it off. But open's ability, you guys, would be quick fifteen seconds ye please? Oh bit the way that he grew Remember he started out playing up on the right and then he had to
come back and play defense. I just think that we saw a young man really come into to his own, just in terms of all over the field. The individuality, composure, well done. Yeah, technicality coach, technical ability coach. And I just thought he's execution as well. Just I mean everybody, I mean and and and I can't say enough about the job that the back line did. I mean Alex Roldan and Knew Who both great games. I mean, I know I've been critical of Knew who he laid,
but knew Who had a great, great freaking match. And Alex on the other side too. And John Bell, I mean there was if there was any concern about John Bell having to step in with films androtte out for a couple of weeks, no concern. John Bell well well freaking played and Reagan next to him. They had the one play, the one ball where Jonathan Rodriguez got in a good position it was kind of just a lapse in defending
where it ends up being the Mora goal for Portland. That was a poor play, But I'm gonna ignore that one minute and remember the other eighty nine plus stoppage because overall, just fantastic performances. I know, we really got to go. It's just I want to stay on and I want to talk about this for another hour, because it was one of those days where you could you could just spend an hour reflecting on what was just a special, special day. I mean the fact that we got to be here at Providence
Park. The last time the Sounders won here was twenty twenty one and it was a six to two game. We were back in Seattle doing the broadcast. And to be here today to once again see a Sounder win, it's special. There's this this place. This place has a magical atmosphere to it. You know, I can joke about how it's disgusting and smells like burnt hair and all those things jokes aside, what an incredible atmosphere this was today, Pete mos and clearly both fan based, We're into it. We're loud,
engaged. Hell of an atmosphere and for the sounders to win, to you to want it. Just it puts the cherry on the Sunday. I mean it makes the Sunday. The cherry was the fans. But this was an incredible time today. Go ahead. ULA's Brian's mother. Ula would be very happy with her day. Yeah, happy mother's day, Ula. So yeah, it was a great win, great win. We said it before
the game, the atmosphere, and it is truly a great rivalry. Neville and Schweitzer walked past each other with a quick handshake, not a lot of words, because it means a lot to each team, right, And there's really nothing you can say to a guy when you just beat him. There's nothing you can say to a guy when they just beat you. So it was a good win, great proud, great crowd, you got it. You know, this is a special place. The Timbers have done a great
job today. It was Seattle's day. It's just such a terrific rivalry. So now in the MLS, we're what fifteen fourteen and seven? Is that what it is now? Fifteen fourteen and seven all times? So it shows you just how close this rivalry is. And yeah, that's a great, great day of the Sims. I love it's an afternoon game. They can go home and get ready for RSL. Yes, and another West Coast game. Even though they got to go there, it's not as much on the
body. So is that our cell game? Listen, you got to take JP off a little bit early in this game, so you think that he has a few minutes in him and the young kids just we have a great game in the Open Cup. So let's, you know, see what these young kids continue to have. But you know the whole team is going to be riding high off this winning was I said it in the pregame. Winning is contagious Open Cup into today. Let's keep the contagion going to Wednesday.
And I think it's what you said Jackson. The team. I think what you saw today started with the Open Cup. You now have a team that unified, that's together, not that they're divided, but because of the win, there's a belief now that wasn't there. And really speaking to this rival between Seattle and Portland, and this is what the beautiful game is about. Whenever you get rivalries that go back, when you know one hundred and twenty plus games, it just shows why we follow, we play, you know,
we speak about it. I mean, this is the beautiful game and it's full, full on display and it was a beautiful day today. Well Sounders again Wednesday we all saw it Lake.
