It's a win for the Seattle Sounders today at lumin Field at Albert Rusnak penalty in the eighty sixth minute wins. It won nothing for the radh Green. Jonathan Bell had to get ready for this game, coming into the game in the fifteenth minute for an injured Yamargomez Andrade. They keep the clean sheet and Bell is down on the field with Michelle Wodko.

Thank you Jackson, Jonathan, congratulations on the win today. A hard fought match against Dallas. But walk me through the early on beginning of this match. Fifteenth minute, Yamar goes down. What is it like to see your teammate go down and then all of a sudden You're like, Okay, no warm up, boom, I'm going in.

You just gotta stay ready, That's honestly, it be ready. So you don't gotta prepare to get ready. Anything can happen in these games. And in that moment, I had to just lock in really and and you know, find my rhythm in the game as a game developed.

You guys kicked off a three match homestand now with the one point or with the three points, excuse me, with the win over Dallas, what will that do for the momentum of kind of the week ahead.

I think it's a good win. You know, we fought.

They gave it a really hard run, you know, for all ninety minutes, and you know the thing most important thing was that we didn't give up. We kept pushing them, kept pushing them, kept knocking. You know, opportunities came. Eventually got a PK. We put it away, we held it down. We got the ones that a wink. So I think it's a good push, you know, moving into the midweek. So you know, I think we're all confident now going forward and we know what we have to do.

One of two teams in Major League Soccer that is still undefeated at home? What is it about this season playing here at Lumen Field in front of these fans.

Yeah, you know, it speaks valumes. We don't want to lose in front of our fans. They come out all the time, they support us, whether it's cool, whether it's rainy, and you know, we take pride in end. We want to keep this as a fortress.

Love it.

Jonathan, thank you so much. Congratulations on the big three points in the win today and coming in saving the day off the bench. We appreciate the time.

Appreciate it.

Thank you, Jackson. Back to you, Thanks Michelle.

Jonathan Bell there part of the Sounders defense gets a clean sheet today in a one to nothing win over Dallas once again, Albert Rusnak with the penalty in the eighty sixth minute after a Dallas handball in the eighty fifth and sometimes it wasn't the prettiest of matches, but boy, we are not going to remember that, you know, in October. We're just gonna remember that it was three points here on a beautiful, beautiful afternoon here at Lumenfield in may Well.

I know what.

Not many goals happened. Is an exciting match. A little disappointing in the sense of the finishing. I thought they could have done a lot better in that sense. We have some things to work on. Thankfully, they can have another game here on Wednesday. That's gonna be a fast recovery and they can kind of get those misses out their brain. But in the end, like you said, they're not gonna remember the game, the score, whatever may be,

Yeah, in a thirty four game season, you're gonna have to manufacture some wins and find some wins.

Seattle created a lot of chances.

Killing's right that it was an exciting game in that regard, and then how do we end up.

Getting the win.

It's a free kick into the box and what seemed like a pretty benign or inadvertent handball.

Referee calls it.

Albert does a great job, is second PK of the year, tucks it away for.

A seventh goal, and we'll take the win.

And now we got a San Diego team that thumped us, right, so focus on that going forward.

And this is how we started our last three three games.

D right when we got the win on the first of three, and now we win on the first of this three, So let's keep going.

By the way. For Albert Rusnak there, that's his twenty fifth goal for the Seattle Sounders. He now becomes the second player in Major League Soccer history to have twenty five goals and twenty five assists with.

Two different teams.

He had, of course, he'll be forty one and forty with Real Salt Lake. He now has twenty five and way more than twenty five assists here with the Seattle Sounders. What an excellent start to the year. Continuation of this year for Albert Rusnak as he scores Seattle's penalty in the eighty sixth minute to give them a one to

Slash ride dash with dash us.

Also Delta Airlines is patzidoniate one soccer ball for every mile ran by Sounders FC players this season through Foundation's one Mile, one Ball program. We'll take a break here on the postmatch show. We'll come back and have a good, I think, discussion over who should be Man of the match for the Seattle Sounders today. Also we'll get to our play of the match might not be what you're expecting. And then of course we'll preview San Diego coming up

That's why we always played one nothing win today over FC Dallas. For your Seattle Sounders today here at lumin Field, Albert with the penalty kick in the eighty sixth minute is what won the game for Seattle. It start time for our Emerald Queen Casino play of the match. Not gonna be the penalty kick. I think I'm commandeering the choice for this and I think it's a good one. Back In the fifty seventh minute, this match was zero zero.

In their attack.

And it looked like they had an amazing chance in the fifty seventh minute, but Stephan Fry said no ways, all the.

Looking voice, Romero strikes it.

I want to save by Fry out of nothing, no pressure on the ball, twenty five yards at Romero.

Then it scuffed the shot. You almost found the box in corn. It had to be a really good save right hand by Stephan freyd great save.

Indeed, the Play of the Match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capitol of the Northwest. I mean if that if that ball goes in and Fry again had to dive to his right, kind of came out of nothing, but keeps him out of the fact if Dallas takes a one nothing lead with thirty minutes to go, the sitting seven guys back and basically just saying we're okay, just killing the game off defensively.

Well, we talk about the quality that Stephan Fry has had for now over four hundred games here in Seattle, and he's been those guys that we almost forget how good he is because he makes these saves continuously. But once again Stephen Fry stepping up making sure that he makes the save when the Sounders need it, and he made sure it stayed zero zero when he got the shutout for it.

I agree with all of that, and he was really on his players today because that shot, as you heard Danny Jackson's call, it was uncontested, it was a free shot. Steph comes up with a huge save. You want your goalies to make one or two goals. Saving saves hopefully won a game at least and if needed right and he did that as well. But then he was all over his teammates and it was great.

At the end.

Reid Baker Whiting went right up to him because he took a ball that Steph wanted to pick up because he wanted to kill a little more clock, and it was cute to see the young twenty year old go to the wiley old veteran who's almost double.

His age just kind of say hey, I sorry, Sarah.

Yeah, but Steph, you know, that's that's why he's got foreigner games, that's why he's got the captain spand making the play, but then also really getting after his teammates on not allowing shots from Dallas at the edge of the bucks because Jackson, you're right, they would have parked the bus and that would have been very difficult.

It would have Indeed, all right, let's move on to the Toyota man of the match. Albert Rusnak has the penalty. I know they named Albert Rusnak man of the match here in the stadium. I'm common during this again, and you guys can disagree or you can agree with me. Christian roll Don today for his work in the middle of the park, specifically his work on second balls, on getting in the middle of Dallas attacks, on pass it. Christian Rolldan today was an absolute iron man, a workhorse.

It's fair.

I think Christian had a really good game. I'm gonna just real quick, there's an honorary captain for me or an honorary player of the match. Is the person who caught Albert roos next jersey and I actually returned it to him because that would have been a great little souvenir. Right. The twenty fifth goal just won the game. It's like, I don't want to I don't want to get that back to you, but he did. He gave it back to him, and Albert was able to move on and

Well you know, after the game, Albert did run down there and actually gave the.

Good Well that's great.

Really, sorry before you talking about Christian really quick as the player and is the coach here while we're talking about that. As the fan, I'm like Alibert. He scores the penalty in the eighty six. He immediately takes his jersey off, spins it around, throws it into the stands. It's it's a yellow card, and I get you want to celebrate the penalty, but I'm kind of saying it's an unnecessary yellow player.

Coach, Look, but it's it's the eighty six. It's been an eighty seventh that he gets that goal, so there's not much time left. He hasn't been on foul trouble. He hasn't been on yellow car trouble. He hasn't been into those things. What for me, as as a player, I loved to it, right. It was my celebration as a kid, was taking my jersey. I'll put it over my head and run around like an airplane. But you know, once that got banned or gave him a yellow card,

Okay, fair enough, let me give you a fair enough fair enough kid.

But if Brian Schmetzer let me speak on me, have a Brian Schmelzer.

I'll I'll sit down and learn my lesson.

Blah blah blah blah.

Tell me tell me a story, grandad.

Don't do that.

If I'm Brian Schmetzer, granddad like, and Brian is gonna take it with a grain of salt. But if he gets to five and Kellen's right, he's not on yellow card. He doesn't have a lot of yellow cards. But but you know, Chew did it last year and then got a second yellow and was red carded and that did not go well, right, and so it I'm sure Brian just says, please don't do that and worries about other things. But I'll Kellen described it well, the emotion, the energy and all that.

But but no, don't do that, don't, okay.

Because if he does have to sit out a key game against Lak Sugar, that's problem.

All right, But you go back to the good the Christian word.

Don maned the match fair, foul fair. I thought he was really good today.

You know, before the game we said we'd like to see more diagonal balls because it.

Unlocks the defense. It shifts the point of attack.

Christian hit six of them today, which I've never seen him hit that many, and there was it was contagious because we end up with about nine where we changed the point of attack, and I like to see that. I think we are seeing Christian rol Don get even better. And that's a tall wid Yeah, yeah, that's a tall thing to say, but uh, the way he moves the

And by the way, he also stripped and picked off a lot of balls today as well, so he's a bit of a destroyer.

In the middle of part, I might be about to piss off some Sounder fans, but I'm willing to take the risk because Christian rold On the best six we've ever had here.

Yes, Oh that's an easy one.

You're everybody loves.

Here's the thing for me is when when Dallas started when anyone has been doing it right. When someone breaks that line in that back you know, when someone's coming out of our back line, who is the first person that usually finds a way to slow the play down. It's Christian Rolldan Yeah, and I will say he's learning or he's teaching, and you see ovid now to start doing as well.

Right.

The duo of those two has been probably the best midfield we've had in years, if not ever. But for me, Christian rolldon broke up plays like you said, he's stripping balls and he is the first person to slow the game down, which is what you want from a six. Defensively, if you can get in front and slow it down and allow everyone to come back, you are now in positions, you have your blocks, and it makes it a lot

And that is a good six. With six assists, he leads the team, yeah, with six assists. So I have a hard time disagreeing with him.

Kil and played with him, and I think that gives you a bit of an edge, and you also.

You know, but thankfully, thank Christian was on the right side when I was playing because I allowed me to be a six or a left back, so mostly the six my first year. So thank you Christian for not stealing my job right away. But no, I think, and against Ozzie, he's just a different player. Yeah, right, Ozzie was a different player, but he also played a different time. We talk about in basketball that like you know, Lebron and Jordan and what it would have happened if it

In the earlies.

Now it's different, it's definitely different. But Christian I think has the full package, while Ozzie had, especially in the attacking piece. I think Christian's got the full package for me.

You know, it's interesting because the obviously the fan debate of who are the greatest sounders of all time? I personally will always have right now, at least steph number one on that list. For me personally, Nico is probably a very very close second. But four hundred appearances, you know, wins US twenty sixteen and all reasoning is side. I mean, Christian Roldan for me, he's earning his way to number three. And I mean, right now, being the player that he is.

Well, I do want to add Alan Hudson center midfielder before your time, probably before you guys were born, Bruce Rioch center back, Mike England center back for the Sounders, We've had some tremendous Stevie Buttle was a phenomenal, skillful, one hundred twenty eight pound guy.

With great skills.

So if you're talking MLS ERA and you're talking and then throw those ones in, there's there's We've been really lucky to see some phenomenal players.

Come through this.

But I do I think Christians getting better, and I don't think I thought that until just thinking about it today, and then then you look and six assists and and plus he's a consummate pro. I mean Alex rolled on. When I was coaching, he came into our locker room before the an Oregon State game, I think, and and it was a spring game, and so Alex talked to the guys about what it was and he said, I learned how to be a.

Pro from my brother.

Sorry, we went way over that. Mitchell, our board operator is probably like Jackson, you want to take a break.

We're way over.

That was a great conversation. Sorry, Auzzie, but those are our thoughts and I mean, listen, he just outstanding game for Christian rolled on Sounder's e FC Soccer is presented by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders FC.

Unlucky at the moment, but we could put him in front of goal and find the back of the net. That's gonna be a positive. And obviously it's a very good San Diego team this year. Can you find a way to win at home?
