The Provident Swedish premat show starts now.

Well after three wins in their last four. Your Seattle Sounders look to keep the good vibes going tonight and they are starting a three match road swing in eight days. It kicks off tonight down in Houston, Texas against the Dynamo. So welcome into Sounders FC pre match show presented by Providence Swedish, official healthcare partner of Seattle. Sounders FC. Should mention that tonight's match is presented by the Western Washington

Yeah.

It was a bit of a replication of the LA game as well, where they got all five goals and gave up to This one with Saint Louis was just a really solid performance, great goals, a variety of goals.

The crowd was really into it.

You and I were working that game, yeah, and when we felt like the crowd was as fired up and help repel the team forward and was having a lot of fun. So there's a little bit more joy right now in the club because they've been doing so well over the last few games. It was a great win and let's and Brian Schmetzer said today he wants to take that momentum from the Saint Louis game and take it on the road.

He does not care that they're at Houston.

He never really is worried between home game and road game, but he wants to bring that same energy tonight totally.

How are you, Pete Jackson? A pleasure being with you, guys.

I agree and what coach Schmetz was saying about that momentum keep going, and I think out of the three road games, this is to me a must win right against Houston, because after you have LAFC, then you have Portland.

It's a great, great couple points, Diego. I think, especially the point of you look at what's coming and you know it's Portland's playing really well right now.

They have a good to their season. LAFC.

We know LAFC, so getting three points in this one would be very, very important, but coming off of a great Saint Louis and there is a little bit of rotation and we have to kind of get into that before we get into the starting lineup for the Sounders tonight, and of which there is a lot of topics to discuss around that. Quickly, we'll dive into the Providence of the Swedish team health reports to tell you who isn't available.

Only three players on it.

Jackson Reagan still out with the right hamstring, not with the team tonight, and by just talking to Brian Schmitzer and his press conference earlier this week out at Long Acres, doesn't sound like LAFC, but there is a pausibility for Portland next weekend, so there is light on the horizon for Jackson Reagan, Jordan Morris. We're still looking at, you know,

Of course, we all know.

Paul Ariola out with the A c Eltaire. Should be noted that we used to have we had last week Haeshu's Ferreira on the injury report. Hayeses Frera is off the injury report from his adductor injury. He is on the bench and available for Brian Spencer tonight. But in terms of who is starting Pete Fewing, let's get to Brian Spenszer's delta, starting eleven for the Sounders.

Brian Spitzer puts out as usual four two three one, Stephan Frye, your captain is goal in goal, Alex Roldon in your right, knew Who on the left, in the middle, Gomez Androte and Kim Key He in the middle of the park, Obed Vargas. Christian rolled on on the right this time instead of the left Paul Rothrock on the left will be Ryan Kent and then Albert Rusnik will sit underneath Danny Massovski.

First start for Ryan Kent.

That's certainly going to be one of the topics we talk about in a moment before we get back to that diego.

What is Houston putting out tonight?

So they have Jonathan Bund goalkeeping, then in the back Daniel steris right back FEMEO withdu Ethan Bartlow center backs and Griffin Dorsey on the left. We know the dander of Griffin Brooklyn rains Artur and Jack McLean in midfield, and on top we have ammbassiessekille Ponse in the middle and Andre Linger also on the left side. To note, Frankoskolar is out because of accumulation of yellow. So so that's I mean, good news for the Sounder certainly.

So you mentioned Ethan Barlow.

By the way, former Washington Husky should be mentioned as well, native of Woodenville, so you know he's obviously faced the Sounders before. But always fun to note when you have local products who are playing against the Sounders tonight. Wonder if how many Sounder games he attended growing up here and now here he is playing them.

All right, let's go back to the Seattle Sounders lineup.

Pe Let's just start with the big thing that's of course going to be catching everybody's eye, Ryan Kent. I mean, we said it on the post game show last week that he played what thirty three plus stoppage minutes. He came off the bench in the fifty seventh minute, and we with Kellen Rowe had a very long debate over whether he was man of the match or not. That's how good he was last week. This time he's starting.

Yeah, it's wonderful and I'm sure Brian Schmetzer loves it because he loves to have competition. Kent comes in, gets two assists and he really picked players out. It wasn't just a cross into space the way to the past, the location of the past meaning to the correct foot. I really set a couple of guys up really well. So and this is as a coach you kind of look at it and say, well, look what he did.

We got to put him in.

Now it's a unique situation, right he push his Paull to the right hand side, so he's got this with these two wingers, and then you throw in Pedro de la Vega as well. I mean, he's got a lot of options on the flanks.

And that's the interesting part, Diego, is the fact that it is Paul Rothak who's been left side, left side, left side for.

As long as we know him.

I mean a couple of times he played on the right, but left sided player switching.

Over to the right.

That's an interesting dynamic of this whole thing.

Yeah, it's really interesting and I think it's a good bet from Schmetzer because knows the potential of kent Bas based on what he showed last game.

And also true point. I love that you have.

I mean, obviously, you know you would see in a normal scenario Pederally Lavega starting, but you have it in the bench, and I think if things are not going the wayge Metzer wants, then on top, especially then you have a really good player with a lot of quality that's put a lot of big coming in writing case things don't work. But I love especially how Schmetzer works and how he gives the opportunity to players who have really good games in the past and they have another shot.

Really really quick peep before you jump in for anybody asking right now, wait, why the heck isn't Pedro starting three matches over the next eight days for the club Wednesday at LAFC, next Saturday at Portland. So because of the fixture congestion, you know, it's the sort of thing where we want to make sure Pedro dale Vega doesn't,

It's just a fix your congestion and squad rotation.

Pete gohead well, and as Diego said, what a luxury right to have those three And you could throw colony into that one, or you could even move Alex rolled on.

They've got options on the wing.

So the thing I do like about it is that Paul Rothrock his preferred foot would be his right foot, so he likes cutting in when he's on the left. Now, the way Ryan Kent serves a ball, he can get on the end of those crosses right. His last Paul's last goal was a ball that hey SEUs Fera played him a great bully to one touch and bang it was in the back of the net. He can get if he can get on the end of Ryan Kent crosses.

By the way, speaking of you, saying like I've been in that position a long time ago. You showed us about twenty minutes ago a photo of you on the Seattle Storm.

What year was that, nineteen eighty eight. Someone just texted to it was in their garage.

I think we need to send that on social media. That's amazing, that's incredible.

You guys couldn't figure out who I was.

Seven age.

Today, let's talk about Danny Mozoski, Guys, Danny Missoski currently four goals in as many games. He currently right now is on the potential streak to hit five in five consecutive games, where he would join only Obah, Emmy Martin's, roaldri Diez and Freddie Montero as the only then four players in club history to score five and five consecutive games. Oh, we were talking to Brian Spencer earlier today, and you know I asked him straight up, you know, would you

It's undeniable.

Yeah, It's one of those special things about forwards, right and having when you have the right momentum, just the quality and in good shape, you have to keep that trust right and in that sense, and me schmetzterz No said, obviously with the situation happening, you don't have more is you know, available, But I think Musovski and we were asking before at the beginning of the season, what where's Musovski? Well, he's here now scoring goals. I'm ready to score his safe goal in a row in a game.

I like what he did in the last game. Danny had three chances too in the first half. He had his third one in the second half. Coach Metzer kept him on because he felt like he was hot. That's good coaching. And then he got the goal on his fourth really good chance. He gets himself to the near post. That's the coaches are preaching that over and over again. There's gold in there. And if you look at some of the goals, they've been balls that have been bouncing

That's a funny part right exactly because the list.

I don't think he would have bet on that.

If he scores tonight, the list will be obrahemy Martin's Rolodia is Freddy Montero Danos and no.

Clint Dempsey and and no Jordan Morris and no Jordan Morris.

Yeah shit, I mean crazy. But here we are. We'll see if Danny can do it again. We'll take a break here on the pre map show as we are just under a half hour away from kickoff down at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas. Today's countdown to kickoff is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of the Northwest. We'll come back, and we'll talk about the Houston Dynamo, a team that the Sounders have already faced so far this year.

Head coach.

We see on the monitor here Brian Schpinzer chatting up Benny Olsen right now, and guy Brian's been speaking so much as we think about how much he likes Olsen. So we'll talk about the Houston Dynamo, who the Sounders ousted from the playoffs last year, and we'll give our Sounders players to watch. That's all coming up, plus keys to the match. Plus the Sounders have a new forward on their team. A lot to get to here on the pre match show on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

Now back to Seattle Sounders Sucker on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.

Welcome back to the Providence, Swedish premat show. Sounder is down in Houston, Texas to face the Dynamo. We went over Seattle's lineup. Now let's spend some time talking about this Houston team two five and four, second to last in the Western Conference with ten points right now, their ten goals scored to seven less than Seattle, thirteen goals conceded.

As three more than Seattle.

As I mentioned last segment, we just saw them a couple months ago on March twenty second.

They lost to.

Portland, then beat LAFC, two draws against the Galaxy and Rapids, they beat Austin and then last weekend they lost to LAFC.

Back and forth results.

There also should mention by the way that they play on Wednesday in the Open Cup they had a four to one win over Phoenix Rising where they kind of partially rotated their lineup, So in terms of what they're starting tonight, yeah, it's still working off that partial rotation

And in November it was so hot and humid.

And this is you know, May tenth, so you can only imagine the humidity in the weather right now. But that's a place that we've all been there and Diego, I know you've called matches there. It can be sometimes be quite a sweltering place to play.

Yeah, it's a stadium that it's like a cauldron.

Yeah, I would say it gets there's no air or when that goes and especially to probably like in May, it's already hot there and it's really humid, muggy, and it's heavy for the legs for the players, right and so it's going to be to be crucial in that sense that the first you know, the setting, the tone and the pace of the game always the Houston We know when they play at home they want to be fast paced and they try to do that with Ben Olsen.

Ryan Kent is going to get a quick welcome to Houston because that he'll have probably the biggest adjustment because he's just not been in that climate forever. You know, when you're playing in these environments, you have to get the hot air inside of you. I would always tell that to our players, and the only way you can do that is by making a few runs. You got to start sweat and you got to get that warm air in your lungs and you have to kind of

It's a difference on.

The field though, Houston this is quite a different team from what we were down there watching last year. They're also quite a different team from what we saw them two months ago. Obviously, we know that they've let go of a couple really important people there, the center back and then also Coco Karaskia they sold to Pumas for three point five million.

They've replenished it.

Though we talked, you know, last time two months ago about Jack McGlenn.

They didn't have him.

He was on international duty with the United States for that March twenty second game. He's back with Houston now. They also have a new player that they signed. It's twenty six year old Czech attacking midfielder Andre Linger. He spent much of the last years playing with Slavia Prague in Chechia and now he is with Hugh Houston and he's done pretty well. He's made quite the instant impact scoring two goals in three games. They obviously have Ezekiel Ponse,

And you hit on the right word inconsistency, right, because he's a team that has all the pieces to your point, new players coming in, but still they haven't clicked yet, right, And it's it's a team that's rebuilding from last year. And you mentioned Owzy karas ki Yah even Ector Areta used to be last season, right, So it's it's a team that lost a lot of the firepower and now they're trying to get back to it. But hey, again

Now you know they got three forwards up front, right, so that's gonna be a handful. I do think that the partnership of Kim kihe and Gomez Andrade has been pretty darn seamless right and throwing Alex and knew who together. That's a it's a good group. But now you're you're dealing with a handful. And Linger does stretch the field a little bit more. Dorsey coming out of the back. I like him left back. Four assists, he can ping a ball, he can play guys in and can get himself forward as well.

So it is a it is a tea.

I like what Diego said. They can be very good or they can struggle. And let's hope we get the team that struggles a little bit tonight.

Yeah, for sure. Jonathan Bond and Gold.

They really weird keeper situation because they've been dealing so many injuries. Andrew Tarbo one of their keepers, he's been out with a knee injury. Tarbo had four starts, Jimmy Mauer had won, he got injured too young. Blake Gillingham had three starts filling in and then they brought in Jonathan Bond, and English keeper formerly of the LA Galaxy and also Watford last year. He's now getting his fourth

Now back to Seattle Sounders. Sucker on Sports Radio ninety three point three FM.

Fifteen minutes away from Sounders versus Houston Dynamo down Shell Energy Stadium.

We'll give you all our players to watch in just a moment.

But the Sounders have a new player on their first team, Osase de Rosario, the son of Dwayne de Rosario, who was on the field when Stephen Fry made his debut. Funny enough in Major League Soccer with Toronto FC, and here is Osase now signing to the first team. He leads MLS Next Pro in goals with eight in five games. Yes, you heard that right, eight in five games. He scored in the Open Cup. I'm just gonna say this stolen

Craig, here's the day Sase de Rosario first team contract. Take us through the timeline of that getting him to that deal.

Well, we nearly had done last week, but obviously timeline was just over a year bringing him in and kind of teaching him, continuation of teaching him how to be a pro day in day out.

He's learned those.

Habits, he's adapted well, and reward to our staff that's done a great job teaching him, but also to him for putting the work in. You know, the contract itself was pretty straightforward. It was, hey, this is another opportunity, another step, but let's make no mistake about it. You're going to play some first teen minutes, but anything less than twenty goals for the Defiance as a failure this year, and so you know, there's still pressure on him to perform at multiple levels, and.

That's Craig Wibol.

Sase A Rosario could be an interesting piece moving forward to watch for the Seattle Sounders. But as we continue the pre match show and look continually ahead at Sounders Houston tonight, let's get into our players to watch tonight.

Pete, I'll start with you. Who's your player to watch for Seattle tonight.

I'm going to go Ryan Kent. He's gotten a great opportunity. It's his first start. He had a really terrific thirty three plus minutes in the first one, and we'll see how he does with a little warmer climate, but in the starting role. And he's an experienced player and coach Smetzer said this morning that he was just so happy.

To be playing.

He hasn't been playing for two years, so I expect a lot of joy from him. I expect him to get crosses in that Paul Rothrock's gonna get. On the other end, that Danny Missovski is going to get to the near post. I expect a lot of quality out of him tonight.

Diego, I'm gonna go. You just mentioned it, Pete. Danny Missovski the player who's on fire looking for his fifth goal in a row, and especially we tucked up beforewards. I need to tell about momentum and he needs to take advantage of this momentum now, especially against Houston daimonk.

We mentioned it before and it's worth saying again. If he scores tonight, it'll be five and five games. He will join the group of open Phemy Martin's, Rollery Diez and Freddie Montero is the only four players score five and five games. What a group that would be for Danny Mazowski to join. If he scores tonight, I'm going new Who, guys, Listen, he scored in the Saint Louis game, and that's amazing and that's fun and everybody loves it.

Now back to Seattle, Sounders Sucker on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

Wrapping up the pre match show.

Just about seven minutes away from kickoff, Sounders down at Houston to face the Dynamo. All time, Seattle is sixteen to five and eight against Houston in the regular season. As we mentioned, the Hugh teams played just two months ago and was kind of frustrating zero zero game at Loomin Field last time when Sounders were down in Houston.

We talked about that earlier.

Was the playoffs last year down last November where we went through in penalty kicks, Stephen Fry came up huge, we didn't miss a single kick and we went through to the next round where we had a pretty fun time, then beating LAFC in the Western Conference semifinal. So hopefully Sounders can get a positive result again here tonight. Like last November, Let's get into some keys to the match before we go. Pete'll start with you. What are your keys for Seattle tonight against Houston?

To me, it's about the partnerships.

Kim keihe Gomas Androte, Alex rolled On and Paul Rothrock on the right, Knew Who and Kent on the left, Massovski and Albert Rusnik underneath, Obed and Christian standing next to each other. Everybody's got to be linked up today. The wingers have to do their job. No crosses, no shots, no goals. Danny Massovsky's got to get to the near post. They got to that kid Dorsey out of the back. Don't let him get his service in from the left right.

I love what you as mentioned, Peter, the partnerships, and I fully agree. I like to see us Sounders starting with the right foot from the get go right, and we talked to Schmetzer about how the conserving the energy, but also against a team that's struggling, you have to

Now time for Sounders FC soccer.

Good evening from an unusually comfortable Shell Energy Stadium here in Houston, Texas for this second matchup of the season between your Sounders and the Houston Dynamo. Houston have enjoyed meaningful success with head coach Ben Olsen over the past few seasons with a US Open Cup win and strong showings in MLS play. While they celebrate their championship teams from the mid two thousands this evening, the Houston fans will be looking at their new additions to pull them

I think of the free games, this is probably the most winnable one you look on paper, at least, I think it's a Sounder team that goal to tr and win every game. But the way the team's playing, and I think, you know you have LFC short turn around in midweek and then Portland next week, and that's always a tough one can go either way. I think this is one where you go on the road and an

Well, Victor Reevas referee tonight in the middle of the park, we'll get us going in just a moment or so, we'll get the fourth referee is a referee as Lewis Diego Aureja, and then the var tonight is Jorge Gonzales, so hopefully we'd have to have too much involvement from the fourth official and the vaar tonight. A couple of questionable decisions over the last couple of weeks for Brian

Yeah, I think everyone who said that was right. We saw it in real time. Of course you had the aid of a replay, but I think you've got to VRF for that. One definitely won miss. But all you can do is move on.

Referee gets us going. Here goes Houston long ball forward. Houston in their orange shirts, white shorts and orange socks attacking the goal to our left. Brian Schmitz's men in their Sailor's Sea kit. Their new kit for this year, kind of a navy blue dark green combination with strikes

Yeah, I think so.

I look at a good addition, and I think overall this Houston team, I think the same way it sounds, feel that they can win and should win this game.

You still feel the same way.

Don't think we're at home, we're in need of a win because we're kind of the wrong side of the table right now. I think we should see a wide open game. I think the sound has got to be careful to not be too open too soon. But I think it's a Houston team out maybe will try to look a bit more how they looked last year when they really tried to dominate possession. Get a ball out wide and attacking nors white space as.

The field surfers looks immaculate tonight, so no excuses for a bad touch, So let's see if the Sounders can take advantage. The ball get shifted farst side the right to Dorsey, who has played left and right hand side tonight. He plays on that right back spot forces on his season so far from a defensive role, so good return for Dorsey. The ball gets hooked long by the Sounders, picked up and cleaned up by you mensioned Woodenville, Washington

Yeah, and with each passing there you can see why he's had those highlights accolades. I thought last week he came on was absolutely fantastic. It can be tough to change the game as a wing at times when you come into a game, but he came on, got a two assists, but he was just buzzing all over the pitch. And I think with the three games this week, it's the right time to kind of throw him in there. I think should we expect all finish the game. I think it suits him, Schmeetzel told me, and I think

And Fry all his features outside of six drives a ball to this near side of the right good ball up the chest of Rothrock not four by Roll Damber assessing the referee from this near side puts per flag up. Houston throw right in front of the two benches. Sep and Fry. Mate mentioned four hundred all comp appearance last week for Sefron Fry against Saint Louis, and then with that when that four to one when Brian schmittze one hundred and thirty wins to tie him for tenth all

Yeah, it's one of the great servants of this club. And since taking the range.

They'll pick it up in a second. Here comes, here's some good save by sef and Fry had to gobble it up on the second attempt. It was a giveaway by the Sounders. Houston picked up with ponse and he was then driven low into the chest of Fry by McGlynn from just outside the eighteen yard box. Cleaned up by the Sounders.

No, no, and we should expect to see that, especially early on.

I think this animal team's gonna really give it a goal, try to find that early goal, get their noses in front. They don't want to play from behind. They want to give the fans you've come out to see them something to cheer about. Just going back to Schmid's day, I think what he's done really well. He's olways seen a

Well, I've lost the likes of Steve zach Quarney. Of course he was okay, Yeah, it was not a bad player that to rejig the entire team to figure that one out. He did alongside Zigie Schmid needed two of those soccer brains to figure that one out. It comes Huston now, bundled over by Rathrocker goes down a little awkward. He's holding the arm and sometimes those innocuous challenges can be the most painful. He fell on his although his

Yeah, and it's in a dangerous area.

I think it gives us anymore team a chance to get the ball into the box, to get their players right on top of Stephan Fry and it's going to be maybe the kind of game that does come down to just a bit of quality on set pieces on either side, attacking and defending.

And the Dynamo were the first chance here to get the ball into the box.

It's going to be Jat mcgern, former Philadelphia Union man, who's going to have the free kick just right of center, forty yards or so from Stephen Fry's goal, so a little far out to take the shot with his cultured left foot, he'll try and clip it in. It felt like he made his move from Philadelphi we had had so much success, broke into the US men's national team. It was one of the first cash transfers inside MLS

But it was so much happening on that one day.

I think there was two or three little bite side of Cherry from Houston and knew who and Dorsey having a little laughter and knew who was pricked on the board it's a decent delivery. Sits right on top of the six yard box there and yet knew Who just beats Dorsey to it. If he doesn't get in a split second, that's in the back of the netflied animal.

It's going to be a corner kick from this near side the Houston left with McGlenn and his left foot outswinger and it comes corner to six headed cleared by the Sounders, picked up by Rains as he clips it in. It bounces just on the six yard line and bounce into the arms of Stephan Fry quickly throws it out to the far side the left, picked up by new goalscorer last week, of course, first goal of his campaign. Man did he celebrate the way you'd expect new Who

Yeah, I think that's spot.

And I think what he's developed in his game he's added to it is when he gets into the final third. Now there's more often than not a bit of quantity to his final board. And I think in the early years of new who Who's getting into the final third eight nine times a half at times and never knew what you're gonna get. Now it was maybe two or three times. But it's with quality, and sometimes you'll take

Who knew who and Ken Well.

Certainly Ken comes off that left hand side just like roth Rod does, maybe drops his left shoal comes in on his right foot allows new maybe too the overlapping run, so the space might be there for new Who. Of course Dorsey gets up and down that right hand side, so there might be a space for Ken and new

Yeah, it's one of those ones where Kent was almost didn't even appeal it because he thought he was such a foregone conclusion and you wait two three seconds, No, we're some one. Then you realize what he's not giving a chord and you won't get back in position. One thing we've seen early on here is any time the sound who's used the ball, especially in these two thirds, the first two thirds, Houston are trying to go right

They're trying to attack right away.

As we see a foul and a first shadow card in the game, as Christian will done, I think this SHOs down, He'll be okay here.

I think just a step on top of his foot there. But the Dynamo first went to the book.

Yeah, Brooklyn Rains gets the first yellow card as the referees has a quick chat with our tour the captain. Another implementation from MLS and really across the world where captains are the ones to speak to referees. Where's BARSI lost the ball and then he's just almost an awkward collision between Rains and rolled on but painful one for Christian as he pops back onto his feet. Don't want

Yeah, I think they're coming to a very good understanding. At times does switch off on that, but it definitely seems like eighty to twenty percent where it's Albed who has a freedom to roam a bit more. He's got a younger leg they can get around, and a Christian source of sits and anchors and always seems to be in the right position defensively forever this team needs. And I do feel for the Sounders they are their very best when those two and Albert Rusnick grinding in front

At the top of the game twelve minute here in Houston, Shell Energy Stadium, Sports Radio ninety three point three k FN Sounders on the road in Houston play at Dynamo Neil Nils so far the ball gets clipped down the line. Here it comes Ryan Kent. Can he riggle free of Dorty Dorsey comes back little step over by Ryan as he has the ball left corner of the box. Now drags the ball towards the end like clips to the backstick, strike by roll down and it slices off his right foot.

Neil or it's a brilliant, brilliant pass by Albert Vargas. The chance seems to have been lost, and then Ryan can absolutely just destroys Dorsy here couple of fence, there's a step over and does the right thing. When you're that close inside the box, you clip it to the back post. And I don't mind Alex going for the spectacular. I do think he had more time. I think he actually you can bring that down and maybe do that in two touches. I think you had a bit more

A player like Alex Rodan, he's a player you'd want in that position as well. He has the technique to do that if he was able to. But you're right, maybe a bit more time to hit the ball down. As this time Ryan Ken does win the foul referee just ten yards or so away, runs forward, Barlow makes the tackle. Sounders win the free kick in their attacking half of the field. Just left of center, the Sounders start to find their feet. Fifty four percent possession so

It's good. That's straight from the training ground there.

Sometimes you just want to switch up and change the angle gives the opposition a different look by Yamar. Just went a little too soon by the last five minutes. Good from the Sounders coach. Stuff will be happy. It seems to have settled now and it's a bit more balanced in possession. We're not seeing the Houston dynamal get out in transition as much as they were early on.

Sounders have had Houston's number in regular season, certainly since twenty seventeen thirteen one and one by the Sounders. He just never got a winning result at lumin Field. But as was mentioned in pregame, Houston is no easy place to play. The thick air, the humidity, swamp like conditions, sounds are just about going to hit Houston at the right time. It's in the mid seventies here at kickoff.

Yeah, I mean, I don't like the heat that you get in Houston sometimes, but I would take that ten times out of ten over going to Utah or Colorado.

Those are very, very tough games.

And I think brad Emisa had so many times when the schedule come out in preseason one of the first games you would look at is when are we.

Going to Houston? When are we going to Dallas? So can be your top place to play. But as you said, sounds getting lucky.

It's a good, great conditions for football game today, and I think the guys, especially the pitch looks really really immacinate.

It looks great.

So the setting's there for a good game of football. Both teams so far showing that they're going to play a very open game. I think we're in for a decent game of football tonight.

Yep.

They'll neil back in mid March between these two teams at lumin Field and it comes to rath Rocks strikes it deflection, clips up central of the park, it goes and it was Rossneck who flashed in. It was defended against Rossneck because the ball left it up. It's gonna be over the end line. Is gonna be a corner kick for the Sounders. Good defending by Dorsey, but almost a chance for a deflection for Albert Roussick and the Sounders.

Yeah, it could have gone anywhere. After the deflection there goes into the box. Dorsey does really well getting across because Albert Russnip puts right on his tail, the Sounders having to settle for a corner kack k but continuing to play well. The last five six minutes here the sound is really beginning to gain the advantage, moving the board while getting the key guys on the board and

Seventeenth minute, nil nil cornerkick for the Sounders. This near sight there right, there's gonna be a Rossneck o bed's close by. Now it goes top of the box. Oh and it was Kent. Well worked again right off the training field. Andy Rose has been working with this team. There was a driven ball to the top of the eighteen yard box along the ground, Ken was able to find some space, couldn't do anything other than sky it wide and high. It's gonna be a goal. Kate remains

That's really really well worked.

I think all of us here and probably I find understanding expect an album Russ and at what's the point ends to the box? You send the big guys forward. But another really well work set piece. It's tough, it's coming to him at speed. You've got to get a really really good technique there, Ryan Ken. Unfortunately he gets too much underneath it and it Almo was flying over the crossbar.

But the sound is definitely have a few wrinkles in that set piece approach to it.

Sounder is in possession just inside their half of the field, Ken coming back to coming back to collect it. Sound is looking more confident of Steve zac Granni mentioned these last five ten minutes so on to get a grip of the game. Sometimes playing an away team as an away team just have to kind of absorb that early pressure.

I love that from the Christian showing he's experience there, Ryan Kenner. They're gonna play.

I think when you first, when you first come to a league like this, there's no real scout and report on you. They're starting to get the word down Ryan kener're paying him very tight as soon as he gets the ball as someone right on his shoulder, and as a winger, you will have to adapt to that.

So now for rank kid, it's going to be not always receiving the ball to feed.

Sometimes it's checking, showing to feet and then spinning him behind and actually getting a ball playteen behind. So he's communication with new have to be very important because you do have to switch it up because once they learn what you like to do balld to feed face you up dribble, they're gonna start playing you very very tight.

Pushing the back from one dub player former udub player to another. Bartlow on roll down Sanders get it going quickly shifts it from the far side of this nar given away by Yemark. It's been guilty of it a little bit, comes back, wins the ball sounded Houston and Crowder asking for a free kick, nothing given. Sounders have possession in a late challenge our tour in Vargas, and that was cynical frustration more than anything.

Steve it is and it's it's been a few times now from a Dynamo. They're gonna play very very tight.

You're not getting any time in space on the ball when you receive it, and there's no need for that foul day tour. You'd inspect someone that have to know a little bit better. All the vogus gonna only go backwards, which he does and it's about a full second late there at all, and maybe lucky not to go into book and they're a free maybe just letting him know, Hey, the next one, no matter who it is, you're going to book.

I was listening to Rude Holler. He was on that podcast with Gary Neville and Roy Keane a couple of days ago and talked about wingers. The ball goes along and getting to that the minutes it bounces through all the way through to Bond. But he's talked about wingers not picking up the ball anymore, just running at players and just putting the outside back on their heels, because like Ryan Kent is a player that will do that.

And I love that.

I can't I don't imagine anything worse for a defender, wrapt back or left back than a winger's gonna get the boat and consistently drive a board game. I remember, that's what made me fall in love with watching I mean, legendary Ryan Giggs. He would receive the board and he would go every single time. And I think Ryan Kent has.

A bit of that in him, and with a lot of qualityitude to the other things as well.

There comes Houston down this left hand side with Linger. New Man's come in just a number of weeks ago, and then from Slavia Prague it comes steris all gets clipped in by our tour fast Segis Dorsey down towards goal wide of separated prize left hand posts over the end line. It's gonna be a goal kick. Sounders here in the twenty first minute at shell Energy stay him in Houston. It's the Dynamo Neil Sounders nil, Steve Zaccarni.

It's a very open world Bannis game. I think the sound is here.

The one thing disappointing is you don't get the numbers back quickly enough and the Dynamo just take that time here and in the end Dorsey's header it's not threatening a gold at all, but if he heads this back across, he has a couple of runners in there and really called the course of sounds a lot of issues there. So you're seeing the animal not afraid to send numbers into the attack and Dorsey has a great engine on him because he's popping up what I would a bitch.

It's Houston again, Sounders giving out the ball heavy touched by McGlynn, taken away by Rolled just turns out a pressure plays it out to the far side to Ryan Kent, puts his foot on the ball, slows it down, goes square to Christian center of the park, clips it forward, now tries to find the run of Grothrock. Misjudged by Rains, here comes Rothrock, right corner of the box, towards the endline. He goes closed down.

Now back again and it's Mussovsky fifth.

Goal in five games.

Can you believe it? Mussovsky on a rich pain of form and against the run of play.

Somewhat is the.

Sounders who break down the right hand side, ball clipped in and Mussovsky heads it into an empty goal to put the Sounders up one goal to nil.

And it's like the football guys are conspiring to make sure Mussovsky's gonna score because this parcel Christians should be decepted.

It's not.

The cross from Paul rough Rock takes a deflection and it goes right into the path of Mussoski and you can't help but almost almost in shock that it came to.

Him so easily there.

But listen, when you're in form, you make your own luck, and he happened to be doing that right now. Do's five goals in five games, and in the absence of Jordan Murray's if there was ever a case for taking your chance.

Mussoski's made it well.

Jordan Morris was the last player to score four in four That was back in twenty sixteen. Now Mussoski joins Montero and Obert Femi Martins is the only too player other two players in that Molest's history for the Sounders to score five in five straight games. So Mussovski, of course now has the opportunity to come in on Wednesday six and six, and what a moment and time for him to find some form. As Houston trying to get one back quickly sounds he can defend his next five minutes.

Under the wall.

We'll see if the sound is stay rigid to the ground this time a little bit wider than it was last time, just a few yards outside the eighteen yard box. Certainly a chance to test Stephan frying the goals. He lines up his three men wore looks like it's going to be Boons number ten standing over it. Mc glynn there as well as left book likely be the right foot of Ponce goes up and over. Just why it's the side netting seeing if it took a clip off

That's remind every.

That's a Mussovski fifth goal and a good free kick just went wide.

Yeah, hit the board.

Well, good technique was never on targets, so Stephan, the frome was never truly worried. I think it was always going wide off the post. They a little bit off target. Before we learned last week was you're probably most vulnerable when you score. And for the Sounders, they've got a goal now and you mentioned it, Danny's how you manage this next five to ten minutes.

It's really taking this thing out of the game.

Putting your foot on the board when you need to not giving away city balls as Jamo did there. Sounders lucky to recover it. But when the chance is there, absolutely you go for it. But now you're gonna have the Dynamo team, it's gonna get one more desperate. They're gonna have to open up a bit more. There's gonna be more space. You've got the guys running behind Rough, rock Ken, Massovski all can make runs in behind.

Oh but when he joins up there too.

So taking the lead here should play very well into the strength of how the Sounders want to play.

Yeah, message from the bench will be take no risks, manage the game now in the hot conditions look cooler than notes normal this time of year, as you mentioned, but Sounder is still coming from the Pacific Northwest climate. Just got to take their time now sting out of the game. They're leading one goal, Chill and Tonight's match is presented by the Western Washington Toyota Dealers. Sounder's certainly entertaining their fans over the last couple of weeks for

Kent is really good there. You're seeing glimpses of what Ken can do. I think listen dribbling getting the ball, that's his strength, but seems to be very smart player, can combine with his teammates as well. I think if as a wing on the boy, you can add different dimensions to your game and then get help from your left back, which you knew who's willing to give.

There is going to make border more dangerous and as you attack.

Great ball by Kim Kihey spread to the field because this near side goes back to Alex rolled on from the foot of Rothrock, who is wide and available, and he gets it again now close down by steris that to Alex, goes inside to Vargas, back to Christian sound is keeping good possession here and the attacking third of the field. Rothrock has it near side the right, comes inside, clips it back to Chris You who drives it from this near side far side to Ryan Kent holding wide

That was a good sequence by the Sounders moments ago. Nothing came off it, but just moving the ball left or right. Maybe we're seeing ten to fifteen past sequence. The more you can do things like that just kind of at times slow the game down because you can always pick up the tempo again, but you kind of you can disorganize a dynamo and move them out of position a little bit, get everyone a lot of touches, take time off the CROC.

That's called game management and on the road.

The more this game goes on, especially as we get into the second half of your scene, he becomes so important to just manage the game and play a smart game. You don't want to back and forth transition game all night long because it becomes chaos and that can go anyway.

Bargas collects it faultless performance so far by rolled down Vargas, Vargas allowed to get forward as Massousi comes in behind. I think it's Bartlow got nudged down. Yes, Bartler is working his way up to his feet a little late on the challenge with Masalskipit Brian Schwetz to work mind that not a bad place to give up a film.

Yeah, and Misovski's gonna work hard. The finish sounders that they're being smart. They're not going all out pressed as you see at times when they're playing at home at Neumanfield. You've got to pick, choose your moments when you're under road. But any passes going backwards, any bad touch that you can press. Doing it as a group, they're doing really well.

For last week.

It was tremendous the way the team pressed from the front, and you're seeing glimpseed of that this week as well. I think Christians is caught in the face there, definitely inadvertent.

Yeah, it goes across there. He caught Christian. I don't think he meant to do.

He's trying to protect himself at his arm raised catches Christian and it's the right call there for a freaking.

It's probably an insurance policy for Ponce as well, just going over to make sure he apologizes. Doesn't want the referee to take action in any way, shape or for me inadverting arm. Is he trying to protect the ball? That's the tough thing, right. We see when we were young, we were taught to use our arms for elevations ahead to protect the ball, and now it feels like those players have to play with their arms down.

Yeah, it's called so much more so, so much more than it ever was it something where it was almost expected that you're probably gonna get a lot of contact in those situations.

Was a part of the game, and I think.

As the game has gone on, you're more than likely going to get caught for a foul having your anywhere near and opponents face Well.

After the first ten to fifty minutes, when Houston would dominate possession with fifty eight percent, now the Sounders have taken over. They've taken over the scoreboard leading one. Goldton Hill also a fifty five percent possession. So hit Brian Schweitzer's mark here. He says, whether it's home all away. Fifty five percent possession for the Sounders is where they want to be, and that's been their average around about

Well, there were warning signs earlier from Glynn's left foot. It's a second or third delivery. Were seeing a replay here. He's not offside. He gets in behind Vargas there and he's just first. He just wants it more in that situation. And I always have a feeling that set pieces at times just comes down to that, which is who's gonna have that desire to say I'm gonna be first here, because you have to get your body in front of your man. And sometimes it's gonna be a case of, look,

Oh my death sue. Former Houston Dynamo two man gets his first goal of the twenty twenty five campaign as Sound just hold up. BR's having a check samething was maybe offside, didn't look like if my advantage point.

No.

Glynn gets his fourth assists of the season. That cultured left foot just curled it to that backstick. Oldesha lost his mark and then hounded ahead up past Stephan Fry. So Sound is now all to do with they try and find themselves back at this game, crowd into it been a nice, wide open game so far. Sounders just need to shrug that one off. They've played well. They've really taken over possession these last twenty minutes or so.

Were not on that. Not a good cord. Not happy with that because listen, is it a foul?

Yes, it's completely accidental in a sense that Yemo's trying to clear the board. It's coming up high end. Listen, the attack has been a bit smart. Deck come on Yemo's blind side. He catches him absolutely. I think you qull a foul. It's like you played good advantages, good referee, and you give him a little warning down you the game going.

But I don't think two of those should get you set off the pitch. That's the way I view it. And it's a bit soft corner.

Cape mcglyn comes in headed clear by that man. Yay mark back over the end line. It's gonna be another corner kick for Houston. They're trying and take advantage of this momentum. It's suddenly found after that goal, another corner kick for McGlenn on this near side. It's to be the third corner kick for Houston in the game. Arms outstretched or whips in, cleared by Kent top of the

Yeah, the game's ebbed and flowed back and forth really really well.

But right now you've got to say, so, who's some dynamo look more likely definitely on top is they've got their goal.

They're pushing looking for that second one.

The Sounders just having to bend but not break it and absorb a lot of pressure, especially from set pieces.

McGlynn farst side this time from the right bed inswinger with his left foot and it comes whipped in top of the six, headed clear by rolled On, then clipped back in by our tour to that farst side, back to where McGlynn was. It's a fight between McGlenn and rolled On as McGlynn knocks it in, comes to this far side as Linga waiting from his left corner of the box. Staru's picked it off his toe. Houston half possession.

That's exactly what they needed there.

Just someone to be smart and get the buddy in the front take a foul now, edge the lineup.

Let's definitely fried. Take this.

Don't play short that guys, get up the field, get some breathing because there's been a hearts and mouse for a few minutes. Heres that that anymore? Lots of shots on gold just getting blocked on the sound. He's just doing just enough right now, but under a lot of pressure in the last couple of minutes.

Well.

This copyrighted audio casts of Major League Soccer may not be retransmitted, reproduced, or rebroadcast without the express written consent of Major League Soccer. Thirty seven minutes gone, here shall

Is it a handball out of nothing? Steve zach qary and it's a red card? Oh wow, Maybe it's make up time for the.

Sounders of the last couple of weeks where the referee has not given decisions and the Sounders favor and Steve's that quarny. I'll let you break that one down.

Listen as Stephen Fryant plays his more forward. I'm just wondering there. It's wonders on when you get something out of nothing. And I kind of fancy Missosage's chances, but I didn't expect all of this penalty and the red card. Look, we're gonna have to go to v R absolutely so we'll see the first replay head so over the top First of all, as to the fund that you don't let Hi bounce.

That's the first mistake. Hey, I don't see too much in that. I've got to say.

I mean, we'll see if the r takes us over board, it bounce, its awkward.

Bounce, is ahead, its arms get caught up. I don't see much. I don't see it. I think it may hit the arm on the way down. Is completely unintentional. I'm trying to understand the red card.

So let's go.

But is it because they felt like he knocked the ball away with his arm and he prevented I don't really hit that board. I can understand it clear though. Is just tossing with mysosge the moth Brattley for the board? It kind of bounces off his arm.

Maybe, So let me ask you this question. We talked about it last week. Oh, if it's a call that's made on the field, is there enough evidence to turn it over?

I think if I'm the Sounders and that's caught against me, I'm losing my mind. Yeah, and I don't know how listen a red card. I'm a shock.

Well, Odessa is off the field now behind the goal. The goal scorer for Houston. So in the space of what is that less than ten minutes, he goes from being hero with the goal, his first goal in MLS, so now been given a red card. The referee is still talking to the VR official. Odessa is off the field. He's just gonna wait. I don't know. He's turning around. The referee is not gonna Wow, make a change. Odessa is now walking down the tunnel. This is just chaos again.

There's been no good replay, to be honest, but the ones we did see it may have come off the arm, that for sure. The red cards where I'm really having a hard time coming to terms of here.

The penalty. If you think it's handboard, he give the penalty. I have no problem with that.

We've not seen a great replay, but the red card is extremely, extremely hard.

Well, don't leave us a halftime. Wow, Jackson, Diego and Peter can have all sorts of fun things to talk about. We'll see how this plays out. The referee is still listening to his ear piece. Oh, then he's gonna take a look at the VR. Oh death show is already off the field. He's walking down the tunnel. It's gonna have to come back if they overturned this one.

I'm just funning what angle he had that he was so confident in the penalty and the red card because Masovski and they're tussling boards bouncing. Oh, that's his first mistake, cause you don't have the board bounce. You deal with it right away. The moment you let bounce, you get the strike of some incentive. Mausoski does the right thing, pressuring him chasing the board. They're now tussling for it, and it may come off his arm in advertually there maybe, So.

Let me assure you this. If it's inadvertent off his arm, is it sill a penalty based on today's rulings and not a red card? I mean it was looking at both. Is it those two decisions combined this?

Well, I think he's gotta be combined because he's sent off because you're saying he's handled the ball and hit the ball away probably deliberately in this with intention at least to give a red card. They're now scoring opportunity. That's what they're checking on the red card. I I just don't see it, to be honest, I just don't see it. I think they're tousling I'm seeing the arm now. It does come off his arm, but it's as the ball's on his way down soft he's round top of him.

And is it inside the eighteen? Knows it outside the eighteen?

And it's outside the box. He hits his left arm right there.

And he swings it around. So maybe the movement, I don't know. Again, you got it.

You've got a defender's defend.

It's a discussion point now, and whatever happens, Brian Schmitz is gonna be asked about it. Yeah, I would say the third game in a row where the referees got involved, because.

Here's the thing.

If he calls an nothing on that, I don't think anyone thinks anything of it exactly. So you've now made it such a moment where there wasn't. I mean, the red card really has taken me by surprise. The penalty email, we can debate that, but I do think it was outside the box anyway. So we'll see what he does. He's taken his long hard look like we saw it last week where three games off time at the monitor and yeah.

And the question is is it conclusive evidence that his decision was wrong? And I think that's it so it could be outside the box, yes, but that doesn't matter about the red card. It's more about penalty though.

Yeah then yeah, And is it still a denial of whats growing opportunity because that doesn't matter what was in.

The box, well, outside of the exactly, he's the last man.

Yeah.

Oh, we'll see what he does. He's put him off in the hold. It's a tough it's a tough hold. He's put ms off in it.

I think you're absolutely right if you haven't called anything, which is usually the case for most referee decisions. It's such a case you wouldn't have been questioned in any way, shape or form. And let's hear what the referee has to say now as he announces his decision to the crowd.

The final decision.

It's the red free kick and red card for dying and obvious storing up infinity.

So wow, you get one for two, you get the red card. As monitor is not pleased at all, and I would be pleased. But it's not gonna be a penalty. It's gonna be a free kick just outside the ball.

It's a free kick.

But they've got a play now forty five minutes plus, Yeah, I mean, Ben Olsen's absolutely right, and listen, I feel the same. This was called against the Sounders branch means a Precky would be losing his mind because that is you don't send Yema off for that.

It's just you definitely need Steve Loiner on the on the sideline to talk through some of the staff if that decision.

This is a tough, tough break. But listen, for the Sounders, you take advantage. It's the way the games go. Sometimes you think over the course of a season, these sources of decisions even themselves out. But the referees made himself the story here in the situation.

He didn't have to do. There's nothing in there.

He's two players badly for the board might bounce off the arm inadvertually of course, then they're both tested in and you play on. But free kick in a great situation there for the Sounders, we'll get time. I did off for VR now because so much time had the money off. But as sound as a play.

A man up rested away, Well, if there's a game to play a man up, it's gonna be at Houston with forty five minutes to go. Houston played midweek. They beat Phoenix rising in extra time four goals to one, with a good number of first team players. And just like last time when they were in Lumenfield, they played the I played the Panamanian national team LEL Salvadora national team in a friendly game that that midweek, so Sounders have had the full week to rest. Houston now have

I'm gonna guess new who's the dcoy.

As Rusnak strikes it deflex it was well worn by the Sounders. It's a little touched by Rosnak and then it's barreled into the back and that's going to be an obvious free kick. And this is something that Missovski did not need to get involved in. Houston has got a man down to see who that player is as Barler comes across. Missos has given away a couple of silly yellow cards in the last handful of weeks kicking balls away. This time, I think it was a follow through.

It was Missosky felt that he was tripped and its found those away and well he was down.

He then retaliates and sticks his leg out.

You don't need to do that. You both off the pitch and listen. I wouldn't be surprised if you take a little cross to look at it. I'm not too much in it, but Missostle definitely definitely sticks his legout again, just Tripps a Houston Animal player likely would end up being nothing. But there's no need to even put refrom that position, especially on the heels of such a contentions cord.

We take past the forty five minute mark, look down and the or the fisher puts nine minutes on, so we've got nine minutes about it. Time after there's forty five sounders upper man for now red card on goalscorer Orodessu. He's given us a penalty rescinded after var check and now there's a little bit of weight and see mode as the sounders and it's gonna be nothing. It looked like he was a foul, kind of looked like he was gonna be a corner kick. Now it's gonna be

Yeah.

I think he was fouled. The defender definitely browed into his back. But you gotta be smart. You know your man up, your goal up, you're the goal scorer. Yeah, no one needs to give you a free anything to think about because if he has a chance to maybe even as he will.

You know, the referee has got a really h hard job. Now now it's a foul on the Sounders, Christian Roldan got barreled into. I think there's gonna be a lot of frustrated Houston players. And as much as the Sounders need to get in the locker room and just regroup and think about the second half's got in store for them, I think Ben also needs his players in the box back in the locker room as well as ro Fog has it as near sight back to BARSI they don't give the referee a chance and a sniff to make

Stiff, Yeah, and it's been such a good game. I think it's been an open, free flowing game. A couple of fowls here and there were Houston maybe a bit over aggressive at times. That particular incident there was such a nothing nothing really happened there. Referee making not just one but two really big decisions in the end reverses one of them. It sticks to me to the more controversial one of the red card. I feel bad for the kid o Destro there because I do think it's

It's a great chance to pick up free points.

Well, this is the time maybe to make changes with fresh legs and really get after this team. We're gonna be heavy legged in these final twenty minutes in the second half or so. And you've got lights of Georgia Minongo, Pegrit La Vega, Jess Ferrera on the bench, scary crossbeck

You know.

We talked about them playing mid weeks Phoenix Rise. He had to go into extra time to get that win. And with ten men, even though it's at home, they're gonna be storing the game down as well as best they can.

They're gonna have to We're gonna have to get a lot more compact, probably make a sub and then really really play for set pieces and for transitional opportunity I think gone is the idea of trying to possess the board for long periods and really break the Sounders down, which is the intention that came into this game with. So they're gonna have to go and really change their style getting a halftime, and I don't think they can compete with the Sounders bench. You mentioned some of the

Men or goes along challenged by Yam or Summer's just need to be very careful the referee there's gonna be as human of course. Could he make up that call as he takes maybe a second look at it in the locker room halftime, I'm sure have been some words spoken to him. I'm sure the crowd will not be happy with his decision, as was voice when his announcement was made after he checked the screen on VR. You know, a few boosering around the stadium, I'm sure at halftime

Well.

May is AA n HPI Heritage Month support AA n HPI owned small businesses joined the month of May for a chance to win Sounders FC prizes. Visit intentionalist dot com to find a business near you. It's about three minutes remaining of the nine Sounders want to see this one out. Regroup and I'm sure the staff will put their minds together, come with the game plan for the

Yeah, you're gonna have two very different speeches at halftime in saddles, knocker rooms, branch mess are gonna be saying gold for it, and it won't take long before he brings in attacking reinforcements or at least even changes things tactically where they're engaging a bit higher up the pitch, taking more risks. It doesn't mean you got all gung hole right away, but you definitely do think. We don't want to leave two points on the table here. It's there for the taking and it just sets you up

Good play by Alex Roldan deep on this right hand side wins the corner was Barsi who came back slid in blocked the cross on the end line by Alex Sounders now with ninety seconds to go of this first forty five nine minutes about a time due to that pretty much due to that VR call, big long delay as he turned over his initial decision. No penalty, but definitely redcard. As the ball comes into the backstick, I put away by the Houston back line, headed away by Bartlow,

Call it.

And then he does. He just lets all that happen before he even kicks it. He blows the whistle ed just I don't know. That just sums up the referees performance in that first half. But for the betterment of the sounders, and it was the sounders in Mussovski who took the lead in the twenty second minute, and there

Your thoughts, yeah, if in the first forty two minutes of this game was a good game, back and forth, both teams going for the win, doing well. Then after that our referee decision, it never really got going again. So halftime coming at a good time for both teams. For the Sounders, you're well poised one to one, with lots of reinforcements on the bench. The next forty five minutes there's free points therefore the taken.

Yet we'll take a short break, Jackson Felt, Diego Arioha and Pete Fewing, We're back to break it all down at halftime. Here at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas is the Dynamo one Sounders one.

Now time for the Sounders FC Halftime.

Show forty five minutes in the books from Shell Energy Stadium down in Houston and your Sounders and Dynamo are tied at one, and what a first half. It was Danny Mazovski scoring a header off across from Paul Rothrock in the twenty second minute. That is five goals in five games. He joins the legendary group now of Freddie Montero, Oba, Femi Martins, Rollri Diez and Danny Mazowski. Five goals in five games. Pretty impressive.

Houston got back ten minutes later with a free kick from McGlenn.

Awoodessu gets the header past Stephen Fry and then madness there right before halftime, as we had what was going to be Dogso and a penalty. They take a look at var they rule that it is Dogso red card to Awodessu. He's gone Houston Downaman, but it was outside the box, no penalty kick and thus we go into the half one to one. Jackson, Feltz, Diego, Audio a Pete Fewing here pease start us off. Takeaways from not only the first half, but just the craziness we witnessed over the last ten minutes.

Well, it was a lot of different segments to this game. It was back and forth at the beginning for the first ten minutes, Seattle settled down. They got an excellent goal. Kids should watch the run that Danny Massovski makes. He takes off going to the box, goes to the near posts. He's got Ethan Bartlow on him. He fades into the middle of the goal. Ethan doesn't pick him up. He's got a pretty clean header. Seattle was very good for

Gave and took away from Seattle.

I thought that was really a bad call and really was hard done to lose a player, so and then it kind of unraveled. And I thought Danny and Steve did a great job. Two different locker rooms right now, two different discussions, so for each team, and I hope the Sounders do.

Go for it.

They got a bench to do it.

Yeah, I completely agree, And I think the probably this type of call is like you never want the referee to to be or to influence the game, and I think in this call, I mean, good for the Sounders, but to be honest, it's one of the most questionable calls I've seen in a while. Victor Rivas actually won the MLS Referee Award in twenty twenty three. This referee,

Right.

But I think for the Sounders in this case, now they have their man up and to Danny's pointlet call, I said, you have to go for it, right, Yeah, you have to go in the second forty five minutes.

Let's talk about the second half coming up next. But absolutely, what a what a last few games a refereeing we've had, my goodness, including Tacoma Portland.

Wow.

All right, let's couple quick notes here.

Welcome back to the halftime show Sounders Dynamo Tied at one right now, Seattle is a man up from a wild situation and a dog so red card to awodessu there in the what ended up being what was the forty four to forty fifth minute ended up finally getting confirmed by var. We're a little bit late because we spend so much time talking about that, but I will quick quickly tell everybody this corporated audio cast on Major League Soccer may not be retransmitted, reproduced, or rebroadcast without

Pete, I think it's Ferrera comes off the bench first. He's used to this climate. He can give us something. I think.

I don't think that Massovski's a two goal a game kind of guy. I think deve Rosario has been hot. He got to get a goal midweek in the US Open Cup game. Give him a chance, but I would wait maybe to about the sixtieth minute before I would make that change.

And then de la Vega, Georgie and JP.

This might be a game for JP to come in and kind of close it out with three games this week.

Yeah, I agree, and I think Pete so well. Daniel Soski has a yellow guye right, So that's a true good point. You need to take him off the pitch. I like Jesus Ferret the experience, also scoring against Houston, you know, playing Dallas for so long and that classic. I would love to see the Osasa de Rosario if he can get a few minutes. And I think also better like beg, guys gonna have two minutes as well.

Sounders one, Dynamo one, Seattle Upperman for the second half, Danny Jackson, Steve Zachwuani have the second half kicks off next on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.

Now back to Seattle Sounders. Sucker on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR.

FM, Welcome back Sounders fans to Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas. Whether Sounders start the second half all square with Houston, but they're up, amen, and we'll get to some subs in just a minute. As we see it. De la Vega come on the fields. Did not start the game, but looks like he's on now ready to go. But Sounders took the lead with Massovski's fifth goal in the last five straight games to equal a Sounders record alongside

Yeah, without saying all that attack, he'll say goal for him and he's made a change that signifies that.

And it it stays like this, there'll be more changes. It's a game that's there for the taking now. I mean the gift has been given.

It comes to Eleaveger in the box strike.

And it's Rusnack.

First contribution by Della Vega on the right hand side and he cuts the ball back to Rusnak who guided.

The ball into the back of the net.

And within a minute this second half, the Sounders take the lead two goals to one.

And that is exactly what we're just talking about. It's exactly what the doctor all did. It's good football here and it was almost gonna be tough for this Dynamoe team to keep the Sounders team at bay and not give up chances. But maybe then expect to happen this soon. Then a Vega of an instant impact. That's a great cutback and that's a good finish by Albert Russknap, who with the inside of the left foot just gets a little bit under it, which helps him in the end

Well, it looks at VR is taking a look. Assovski gonna flashing front the goalkeeper. The first thing the goalkeeper Jonathan Bonded, was point to Massovski, was he interfering? And the answer is no, quick VR check, quick check by the referee, and Houston get us going. It's the worst possible start for Houston, absolute best possible start for the Sounders. They'd take a two to one lead now, four to five minutes or so left, so early in the first

Yeah, and I think that goal has changed. It's half time tall already you've gone and got what you would have wanted. Now you don't have to chase the game at all. You're not gonna sit back and defend, but you are going to bait and dare this anamal team to come out of their shell just a little bit. So I don't let to say one one the animal would have felt this stay compact, stay in a low block. We'll cast him in transition. That's got out of the window.

You know, what will be interesting to see what would Houston do if they start to preserve some legs at some point in the second half. But Alsen Sounders can get that third goal. If you get the third goal, upper man, you think that Ben Olsen starts to make some changes just to save some legs. But the Sounders still had work to do. Two goals to one up here just a few minutes into this second half. So let's get you the lineup coming out the locker room.

Yeah, and I don't think anything changes immediately the next five to ten minutes. But this game goes on to squad as stays as it is with the Sounds ahead and animal you're gonna have to start chasing because they listen. Losing two to one or losing five to one makes no difference, zero points either way.

So the one wall for it too early.

But as this game goes on, they're gonna take a few more risks. If the Sounds as the gaps up there, you can get in a third to really kill.

This off your wall for it.

Tella Vega takes a shot from a really tight angle but shows the confidence as the referees just gonna hold things up, and that's gonna be a question mark for the Sounders. Kim ki He with all that experience, got tangled up at the halfway line. I think it was Ponce who has gone down on massofsky as well. In the first half. Kim kih is on a yellow card, so walking on thin ice right now with the Sounders. Nothing given by the referee johnthan Bond gets us going

Yeah, I think it's something that breast he's got to think about, because you've got to also think about the quick turn around in midweek. You are going to LFC expects always a tough game when you go there, and so maybe to some of the guys on the pitch, has told them, hey, give me a good ten to fifteen minutes here and then I have the luxury now, especially I forget enough gold.

I really beginning to rest guys, make sure the one gets booked.

The Glenn takes a shot side netting. Crowd thought it had gone in quick, quick shout from the stands, but it's a side netting just the outside of Sep and Fry is right post. Will be a goal kick here in the early minutes of the second half and woul a start it's been for the Sounders. Within a minute it was Dela Vega to Rosnak takes the lead. They're upper Man and this score update is presented by Toyota as a Sounders lead two goals to one.

Yeah, they'd have been going into the second half hoping that, hey, if we can get a goal in us opening ten to fifteen minutes, will really set ourselves up for success. Probably inexpective to come in the first ninety seconds of the half. It's just completely taken all the life out of anything that Dynamo would have said it they've been a halftime Ben also would have given him fun belief, and the Sounder just took it away.

Ryan Kent stepped up towards you and a little ding what a wonderfultball flared by Houston. Goodness that was got a magic from Ryan Kent. Here's Rosnak. Ryan Kent is enjoying his football, as he mentioned to me just a couple of days ago. Certainly is playing that way right now and that was something that you don't often see. That just a little bit of magic, just to think the ball so close to the goalkeeper. Stilla Luds, Jonathan Bond,

Yeah, and you can see he's a seasoned player. You're not getting a raw player. Again, no one's a finished product yet. But once you beat your manage, so it's what.

You do next.

And I think the quality of the crosses he's been putting in that final boad. Obviously he got two assists last week. He's had a chance to get a couple more this week as well. He can beat his man, show him a clean turn of pace. But then it's what he does next that's been impressive to me. He actually is a rushing he's he's his crosses are varied. It's a different kind of cross depending on where he is on the pitch, where he's runners are. That's the skill.

You have good work by Corey Sean in front office who find continue to scour the world for these hubset players to help Ryan Schmetz on his staff continue to strengthen. It's a tough ball, well worn by kim Ky Hugh needs to be careful to man she's on a yellow car, but clean tackle the lovers. A ball to the far side the right to Pega Dolarvaga overlap and run by roaldar Ovega drops his shoulder, comes inside his left foot,

Yeah, I think you'll give kim Ky here maybe another ten fifteen.

Hope enough and crazy happens, and if you get a chance to get him out, and you'll probably have to reshuffle a few things left there.

Yeah, could be a new who slides inside really bigger Whiting maybe comes in on the left back spot. We'll see what happens. And here's John John de Bell left at center back and kim just gonna slide to the right. But good little ball too. Della Veger isn't able to control it. Picked up by Houston, closed down by Roldan, and Sounders pick it up from Sasky runs away. They just see be careful don't kick it away. It's on a yellow card as well. Sounders just have to manage it.

I think the mindset's very clear this team. They're going for that third goal to really kill this game off and leave no doubt. We're seeing a quick replay here upstairs listening it. Is it off his arm, yes, absolutely, but he's using us to brace himself, and I think it would have been harsh.

I mean the refereence to be a very brave individual, it would have been very harsh, So get into a tank and drive out of state. Goodness. Sounders has steve if that Quanni mentioned, finding that, trying to find that third goal that will make this game a little bit easier in the final fifteen or so minutes. We get here, the fifty eighth minute, Sounders leaving two goals to one. They have the ball with Ryan Kent drives forward left card of the box, records free towards the endline, clips it.

In and strikes and it's Russneck again.

Second goal of the evening, second goal of the second half, and it's a Sounders third, and if they wrapped up three points tonight here in Texas, Houston one, Sounders three.

Brilliant from Ryan Kent. Brilliant.

I mean he's playing with a lot of confidence right now in joining himself, but he's fun to watch. Picks the ball up and just starts driving, and he's made so many good things happen. We saw glimpses last week and he's carried on this week. Picks up the ball here about thirty five forty yards from goal and just

Sounders you can hear right and get on a microphone. What are you doing? I think that's a little question towards his sister referee on this near side, because there's no swear words nice and polite, and it's questioning of the decision. But it's gonna be a free kicks for mclenn. It's a very similar position as it was for the goal where he floated into the back of stick for

That is a big time save and I think it's been Houston's best bet all evening. McGlenn inswinging cross this Dorsy quite far up, gets a lot on the head off.

It takes a big right hand of stuff and Frank turned that behind him.

Paul comes in headed clear by you man. Jonathan Bell came on for ya Mar to play in the back alongside Kinky Fudge towards the backstick along the linger, then hooked up and away by that man Jonathan Bell inside the six. Houston are not giving this one up. Sounders need to just absorbed this pressure hours to get here. In the sixtieth minute, half an hour to go, Sounders leading three goals to one Sports Radio ninety three point

Yeah, the best teams in this club's existence have been the ones that play free flow and attacking football. The fans come to Seattle to be entertained. They want to see a show and get results. I think the past couple of years that was missing. The team went off in the off season really addressed it. We felt really good about how it looked on paper. It'spired a bittle start and stop, but over the recent weeks, in this good run of form and suns, see it come together.

Just a little high stepping the crap started laughing. Yeah, but nude the business wargoes of the end line. Just seize it offlessly. Gave Dorsey a little nudge, let's get you the Saunders bench. So we had Della Vega come on at halftime. Jonathan Bellis come on already, so Hazius Ferrara, Reed Baker White and Georgie nong Go, Kolonel Kosa, ri Enji,

He is a very strong bench. And you're talking about a team that even has port Ariota. You're not on the rest Jordan Fable and Jordan Murray, so you're missing two very key guys who maybe are in your starting eleven and many teams starting eleven as well.

So listen, those off season needs were very well addressed.

This team beginning to gel and look like a well bogered machine in very very good form. Maybe the most informed team and all of them ands at this point. But it's a big week. Talk about the three away games. Yes, it's off to a brit start. I just wonder the management now in terms of minutes.

When the court stuff.

Does Tallavega tries to clip it towards myself. So get picked up on this near side, just outside the eighteen yard box to rusnac and to roll do strikes it all that looked like it was going the back of the There there was Bartlow who threw himself at it. Deflex it over the end line. It's gonna be a Sounder's corner cack. But Sounders looking for their fourth goal as they lead here three to one.

Yeah, it's a confidence team here and listen it's yeah, depending as ten men.

But we saw this last week as well.

We've seen it in recent weeks where the attacks beginning to click and come together for the Sounders here. I think Albert Rostatsmo. He's been in and out of the lineup all year long. He's beginning to find some of his best form. We saw how great he was last season. He's starting to rest those levels. Of course, we've mentioned Massotsky, the run he's been on going into the Sounders recordable

Shiet a couple of changes for Houston Junior also on our tour off Ethan Barler off andred On Andreid signed on the loan from Fluminensa just a couple of days ago, just his first minutes for Houston. He's gonna come on play central defender against other new men or teams. So Sanders is gonna have a real chance to a potentially to these three goals. Now playing against two very inexperienced as it relates to MLS center backs, not a very

Yeah, nothing changes, right, Maybe maybe Monong is even more aggressive. He's even more unpredictable, so you're gonna be in for a run. I'm not surprised by the ensues Ferrera change.

I think it's a good one. Get out off, no need to keep him one at this point, and I think it's a good chance for Ferrer's. The game is off going you know he's back.

In Texas and think us, a long time rival, would be a great time for him to kind of start really with Sama's career here.

And if you're gonna need it, no, I look at the stretch of games coming up.

He's gonna be a team for all year long, and you'll need to let Ferrera to really get going.

Just cringing here as Jenny Masauci goes in for a second challenge in less than a minute, it's on a yellow card. Branch s Metzo has got de Rosario, who just signed his first team contract this week, got a goal of midweek. It's Definance. You mentioned lost de Finance lost US Open Cup play against Star Fire. Memorable game, lost three goals to two.

Yeah, heartbreaking ending. I couldn't believe it. I know Jackson has fots on them.

We're not gonna We're not gonna mention referees again. As Linga picks the ball up, Georgie trying to close the ball down. Can sound us find a fourth goal? Really put this one to bed as they leave three one. As McGlynn takes the shot, speculative all bounces in strike like so over the topic goes it's gonna be a

Yeah, I mean, the game's in the bag for you if you want it, but you still got to do the job. You've got to close it out. The work keeps a good habits, close players down, don't give up three shots. In seventy eighteen, Yard was because the things you practice in these games, that's what carries you over into the outcoming games, and especially when you get into a really tough competition that stretch in the summer and you start pushing towards the playoffs and things of that nature.

You build those habits now.

And so I think for the Sundars, it's next twenty twenty five minutes or so is how do you close out a game? Because if Houston able to get a set piece and get one to make it three too, you never know, things always can get more interesting. So for me, it's more of a case of let's close this game out the professional job. If you can get a fourth goal, let's do it. But it's leave hit, don't conceive any more chances any more goals, keep the board as much as possible, and if for chances.

Never go for it.

We'll correct myself. It was Kialani was my thought coming home. Reader, It's not on the bench, It's gonna be Kinky's selling in the yellow cars. You gotta get a break. It's Masofsky. You gotta get a break, and get it. Get Ze Derasario, of his second run out for the Sounders in as

Not a bad player at all. He was He was a special, special player.

And Brian Ching was a former Sounders player back in the old days. Want a check couple championships. He's in town as well. Think he was de Rosario in that first inaudial game for the Houston Dynamo got four assists. Of my supporters. Roy Craig Wibel, general manager, also played I think also got championships. He was stalwart and talk about his experience as MLS back in the day when there was all the tenty. Now there's thirty teams in the thirtieth year of MLS in celebration for the NLS

By my second or third year. Yes, have you you learn I should play?

You learn it comes Houston left hand side is or tease sounders pick it up well, Like I said, let's get some results around the league earlier today Minnesota four, Miami one, big win against lel Messes Miami Cincinnati two, Austin one ors to go on the road and lose to a high flying Cincinnati team. New York Red Bulls six, and there's a conflict in score because I'm looking at mine Steve has seven. We'll get a confirmation of that. LA Galaxy nil. So LA Galaxy still no win on

I think it speaks to how important prochs forget the moment he's gone down. I've not the same to my Tony lost your vintage as well. So that's the team that didn't really retook and is paying severe.

Conse Sounders have it right hand side with Alex rolled On getting involved. Can he whips it in? You know when I said about rips the ball in from the outside, sound As are playing with a ton of confidence. You were first time ball by New overlapping run by New Georgie has it left corner box drops his shoulder comes inside Dalla Vega shifting from a right to the center. Now it's new left channel. HRIPs it in with his left foot, good ball system, referees, flag goes up new

Yeah, I think the game is coming to a snatchural conclusion. Of course, set pieces and things of that nature will still be a danger that the Houston may have. But I'm surprised she met at this point and Massoski still out there. I thought it was a good chance to bring in the Rosario and just rests Missosk because he's in good former You need him, i think on Wednesdays going back to one of these former clubs, so he'll

That's Ferrera so looking for his first goal and a sound of shirt and MLS. Of course, he was prolific for Dallas in front of goal, as he has been for the US men's national team, and certain n Ladera sitting on the bench for Houston made his shift from

A big player, and I think when the time is right. I know he was honored on his return a couple months ago, but he'll be honored in a more meaningful way because he for me. You can throw a few names in there, he has an argument against each and every one of them. They'll before and after at this club. With Nicoladero, He's arrival marked a shift in terms of we had a great winning culture, but winning trophies already.

He took it to another level where it became expected.

Tonight's match is presented by the Western Washington Toyota Dealers Sounders leading three goals to one here on the road at Sell Energy Stadium, Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, Sounders ten points from their last twelve available and they make it thirteen out of the last fifteen. A good solid run and Sounders are on and this last month

Yeah, I give it a sound.

Sage's been careful because set pieces had actually been a strength for the dynamo here, because then anything gets a goal is putting about that belief and you're still a gout ten fifty minutes to play depending on what's added on here, and three two is a lot more un comfortable than three to one.

I think at this point you're trying to just see this game out and you're gonna get I do. I's been a dynamo.

Maybe to frost free numbers forward, try and get a bit more in transition so you will get chances going the other way. Just be a bit more clinical Georgian in the last couple of attack's been a little bit sloppy and if you can be clinic on the final third.

There's another going on the table for this team here tonight.

Englishman or As Sonia comes on for Linger for his MLS debut. Or Sonya played for Saint Mirren most recently. It's only his first introduction has rolled on. Looks like he need to tweaked something that's not good news for the Sounders, holding the top part of his leg, the back of his leg. Hopefully it's a little bit of cramped stage, a little bit fatiguing than anything.

Yeah, you're gonna hope maybe he took a knock or something like that. Of course this is such a big player.

Yeah, we've got having a conversation with the medical staff because Cornish are like we've got Jiao Paolo, Danny Lava on the bench lots of good replacement options for Brian Schmatzi. There's gonna be a corner kick for Cuson out swinging with the mclynt towards Nick Or the box comes off the face of It's New and the game's gonna stop. It's a deflected all right, into the face of New who he goes down. Let's get you a couple more scores around the league as the games continue to go on,

One of the greatest plays individual praise in Sounders history. You could say in terms of you fel some of the great goals you've had and things of that nature. I think that one I remember in Casey ketoff four saves against Samon's in his last season that comes up as as a book. But the Stephen Fry save, the way that game was going, were really under the crush and.

He needed him to come up big and he did at the biggest moment.

Sounders still have work to do here leading three to one upper Man, but Houston is still knocking the door. They made some changes, lots of debutantes back on the field. Samer's had the experience. I need to see this one out now. With you mentioned the Charlotte game they were leading going to the final minute of the game. Really need to see that one out as a little mistake from the Sounders who let Charlotte back into the game to tie up. It comes Houston left corner of the

Then that's not a good foul because the best opportunities usin that f had has come from this inside right McGlynn free kicks in swinger moves, that great left freees put some good services and that's how they scored as well.

So not the best foul to do up against the Houston.

Team, and that mcbin leaf foot sounders need to defend this free kick inside the box Britton towards the backs. A good defend you by kim Key. He powerful header away. It's picked up by Kavalchik far side Dela Vega just nips in isn't able to win the ball, although Sannia plays it back to the range who skips away from Dela Vega on the far side. The Houston left back to Olisarnia. Your tackle look like from Derisario, but needless.

I mean, I'm with Dina Vega and he sus Ferro. They asking referee, how is that a yellow card? And we'll see the replay here. Maybe he see something I haven't seen. I think that's a blue tackle from Rosario. If you want to see your strikers getting involved defensively when they can, he does the right thing. There's a big boy, big buddy, so yeah, usual his shoulder just a little bit there at the worst.

Maybe a foul. Yellow card is a bit harsh, but we'll see. Not the harshest quart of the day.

Sounders need to hold strong, defend this free kick. And again we mentioned it. I think it was Colorado with my high levitch who went under the wall as they jumped and Blunich Schmitz and said, that's on me. Players need to stay down. But it's a little bit further out of this time, So four man wall free kick left of center. It's gonna mc glinn. Now this left foot up and over the wall, comfortable, say by for a difficult angle to try and find that far post

Yeah, I think if you're the Sounders, you're gonna expect the dynamo from set pieces to be dangerous in the run of play. Now we're approaching a final five minutes plus whatever's added on. It really is about game management. You know, there's nothing more you need to do. Offensively. Can you get a board into the wide areas, have your wingers maybe have a goal every now and then. Aside from that, it's possessing the board, using your man

What goes down the right hand side de le Vega chasing it down stairs knocks it out safety first by the Houston captain number five playing central defender now coming from that left back spot. But all Sounders are back on the road to face LAFC. On Wednesday May fourteenth, at seven thirty pm Pacific. Watched the match for the MLS season. Pass on the Apple TV app and listen on ninety three point three KGr FM and l Ray thirteen sixty am. The Provident Swedish pre match show starts

Listen. DAWs is a very good player.

But if you have to face Kent and Georgie right after doing this, that's a tough, tough task man.

These are two of the most direct wingers.

They He'll sleep well tonight.

He's earned every bit of his paycheck this week because those guys are in enless. They're gonna run at you every time. And I was good played by Georgie. I don't mind the finish there. Sometimes you've got a little bit selfish force of a good save and the sound is now a corner.

Kick, be a corner kick foot of Ferrara far side, the right back. It goes to Petrodela Vega down the line, back to Ferrara top of the box too, I guess well worked again by the Sounders. Deflected off I think it was urso the substitute goes over the end line again another corner kick for the Sounders. So Andy Rose really has laid it out there today and the Sounders could have had a couple of goals from these set pieces.

Yeah, it has been really well worked and we've seen a few different wrinkles there by the Sounders. I think on this occasion at Ferreira, he's got the numbers up there in the box.

Gimky, he's up there.

Souls new who sold Jonathan bell Andy rosarros On, big bodies in the box on Maybe this one is one you're just swinging or.

Goes top of the box against Vargas, strikes it over the top again. Well worked Houston, Evant switched on on these set pieces. There's going to be a goal kick here. In the eighty ninth minute Houston one Sounders three. Houston down a man after a red card from rids Who in that first half, and the Sounders have taken full advantage in this second half. Very professional performance by Brian Schmitz's men. What a start it wasn't that second half.

I mean, you sometimes go into a game and you think, you know, if everything goes well for us today we have a chance. Then everything that's could have gone right has gone right. You know, a free decisions, players performing well, scoring at.

The right moments.

I think it's a great way to start off, to stretch off three tough games in a week.

It really is.

And I think for the Sounders, you know, hopefully with a couple minutes to go here, you leave there no injuries, You've been able to rest a few guys, get guys reps. And now if he really is looking like he has thirteen, forteen, maybe even fifteen players you can choose from on any given match day, and that's a position you want to be.

And if the Sounders so the Sounders from the performance last week, for one, they got three Sounders, one team of the match, they knew who Kent and Vargas, Vargas goalscorer, kent two assists, knew got the fourth goal. I'm gonna think Rosnek will be up there. Yeah, two gone night for him, dictated play the center of the park. Also, still a mass of this. You've got Vargas and rolled on who's played now, will will be the full ninety

I can see it.

I would say when you think of Obed, you think of Christian or Done, two of the fittest guys on the team. They're two of the guys who can see just going and playing and not feeling anything to it. So I would hate to break them up at this point if it is such a good rhythm. They're playing so well. Nothing against JP and Labor. The last time

Yeah, we gotta think. You know that the big teams in Europe who are coming over with the Club World Cup, they are playing at this time of the season, they're playing three games in the week, week in, week out. Good play by Georgia down the line, it goes new who's there? The rassario is available, just delayed the cross slightly. The assario frustrates the ball to reach him, but knew who again up and down that line four minutes about a time out of other referee already one minute into

Yeah, I mean that order fout.

I mean, I mean what take one?

Yeah, it's definitely for I think he's calling for the foul. I mean he comes through and it climbs a little bit above Alex Roydon and he defends it well because he has to, but referees Adam Man he's given a cornic it can I transferred dynamoment to end the night on a high, to may this score and seem a bit closer and maybe it was better.

Sounders. You want to defend us, well, take a free points and go home.

The Glenn clips it in the penalty spot, headed away by de Rozario. Good play. Georgie asked him for the throwing on his near side, not given, so sunders need to defend again. All the hands at rains sounds putting a real good shift out in difficult conditions. Look cooler than normal as you mentioned here in Houston, so perfect night to play. Really, when the new travels to Texas, all gets played in should have been a foul again referee gives nothing seven and four course off, Alex rolled

Yeah, I think so of those three, you think which one can we absolutely have to go in thinking we need to win this if you want to win all three, I think it's the most winnable one. We certainly fought the game before the balls kicked to before kickoff, and listen, it's hard not to go back to the red card.

I think it changed the way this game went.

I mean courts tosy, not just the comments from Ben Olsen, but also the perspective of branch Mets as well and his staff kind of what he saw there, because I think it definitely changed the course of the game. I still think threequints were there on the table. The team was playing well enough. Definitely got a boost there. But that said, you've got to take it when it's there. You've got three points and a few years ago to sound has had these weeks where they'd win three games in a week.

I think they did it that three or four times.

And half their points on the whole year came in those weeks, so you can really get nine points in and you'll be sitting really pretty And at the end of this end of this week.

Final seconds here as we ticked towards a ninety four minute mark, we've hit the four minutes about a time and there's the referees whistle brings the game to an end. Disappointing for Houston, but a really solid win for Brian Schmittzer and his men, and it started in the first half with Musovski the twenty second minute got his fifth goal in five straight games. It's a great return for Danny Mussovski since he got introduced to the starting lineup

I think, look at performances Ken fantastic. Seems to have a real player him there, Albert Russna again a couple of goals. Did Levega come in and gett an assist? Roth Frock don't forget that he got a first assist. I think all around this attacks beginning to click, beginning to gel, and it bowls well for the challenge of the head massive three points sets them up very nicely for the midwek BT Winnie.

Well, thanks for everyone involved in today's broadcast. Double duty from Jackson Felts on the board tonight, So thank you Jackson for doing that. Keiley Dunning, Kevin K. Jordan Thompson is always your great information and prep for these games, and of course the Sounder's legend Steve zach Quani.

Well.

Jackson Felt, Pete Fewing and Diego Arioha. We'll be back to break everything down. I'm Danny Jackson. Thanks for joining us this evening from Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas, where it finishes Houston one Sounders three.

Welcome to the Sounders FC Postmatch Show. Sounders FC Soccer is brought to you by Delta Airlines, proud to donate one soccer ball for every mile rand by Sounders FC players this season through Rave Foundations one Mile one Ball program and by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC.

The Sounders FC Postmatch Show starts now well.

For the Sounders.

It's a big road dub in Texas three to one over Houston tonight. As Seattle gets all three points, they get goals from Albert Rusnak two of them and Danny Mazowski his fifth goal in his many games. He joins the squad of Oba Hemy Martin's, freddie Montero.

And Roll Ruy.

Diez is the only four players in club history to score goals in five consecutive games.

The moose continues to be loose.

Let nobody keep the moose contained anytime soon as we welcome you into the postmatch show Jackson Feltspete viewing Diego audio A here for the next half hour. However long we go talking about the Sounders win tonight, and of course we cannot really kind of get this thing going without of course recognizing that late in the first half, Houston went down to ten men, a wild situation where there was a handball initially thought to be in the box, var stepped in it, took a referee, took a look

That means it's a red card.

Houston went down to ten men and the Sounders killed him in the second half, with that man down two goals to nothing in the second half, a three to one overall win. Let's just get some overall thoughts, boys on the win in Texas, the second half where we saw a lot of successes playing a man up.

Pete, I'll start with you.

I like that.

We've got three goals. We've got three goals.

We've got four goals in the one before this, A couple of games back with Nashville three, the five to two win over LAFC Stevie and Danny. We're talking about offseason was one of the things was to try to get goals in this club.

I think we're finding them. I love the wing play.

Holy cow, ye right, we talked, you've got Rothrock gets an assist as soon as de la Vega comes on the field in the forty six minute, he gets an assist. Kent gets two assists. Really at Georgia, Mannugo was wildly dangerous. We've got a very dynamic team wide. I love Albert Rusnek coming from deep to finish off those chances.

Both those chances he came.

We had a runner going early, getting too that near post, which creates a little space that Albert filled very nicely and tucked both of his chances away.

So a really good win.

You got to give Houston credit for hanging in there. That didn't make it easy. Their goal was a really good goal. But yeah, that little excapade with the red card and the penalty kick no penalty kick kind of flipped the game. But as Diego said at halftime, it was a new game. In the second forty five minutes, Seattle came out and put a stamp on it right away and kind of we scored in the forty sixth, then fifty sixth, fifty eighth minute.

That kind of ended it pretty quick.

Yeah, totally.

We're talking out keets the game before the match right starting with the right foot, and that's how the second half started right a minute in and we see Albert Rusnak just closing the play and scoring quickly. I love to see to your point, Pete scoring goals definitely, but also see that dynamic team that you can tell the Sounders are different from the Sounders who started the season,

You need your goalie to make.

You need him to do his job and make you know, click crosses and be clean there and be good with his feet and all that.

But you need to make one goal savings, say, because if Houston score.

That, it's a three change suddenly and we're looking at an entirely different situation. That's exactly right, Pete. But quickly Diego. You were talking about the slow start, right, and it was very much a slow start.

But it's funny.

March twenty second, we faced Houston at home and that game was a zero zero draw. After that we got a one to one drag in San Jose. We got a late goal from Rusnak to equalize that. Then a three nothing lost at San Diego. But since then win over Dallas, win over Nashville, draw to Colorado that I still think should have been a win if refereeing was

That's a that's a pretty darn good run right now.

Games are still we played to tonight, but for right now the Sounders are sitting in fourth in the West. Pretty darn good situation for Seattle, heading into a massive and difficult two game stretch at LAFC on Wednesday and out Portland on Saturday. But going back to this game, you know, I think it's it's so interesting because we can talk about the great success and it was great goals, and Pete, I love what you said about rus Neck. You know, the trailing runs and the assists from dalea

Yeah, I mean it is what it is, right at the end of the day, if it's about calling, it happens to both teams. In this case, it happened to be in favor for the Sounders and good for the Saunders at the end of the day the second half they took the game like nothing happened and they really went for it.

So that really changed to me the perspective.

And it's unfortunately that's you know what sucker is about at the end of the day, and sometimes you know it's refing is never going to be perfect. No matter if you at a var or any technology, it's still you know, a men's decision at the end of the day,

But yeah, I like McGlenn.

He's twenty one, crafty, confident, really got a good left foot, and we'll get better and better. You know, you got to deal the cards you're dealt I understand Houston be very upset about that. I liked what Stevie said about there's gonna be two different speeches, one Ben Olsen in the Houston locker room and Brian Schweitzer in the Sounders.

And what he said that Brian would.

Say is, let's put it to them, and that's easy to say, but then to go and actually do it and get two goals and then be very business like to be able to sub as much as we did to get Dave Rosario on the field, to get wingers on the field.

That was good.

To be able to take off Gomezentroti and put Bell in that was an important thing as well, because we may need Bell over these next two games as well.

So I want to go player by player for a few different guys I want to talk about in our next segment. Before we do that, I'll quickly mention that with the two goals, Tonight's Toyota Man of the Match is Albert Rusnak. Your local Toyota dealers are proud to

We'll get a break.

Continue talking about the Sounders three to one win tonight over the Houston Dynamo down in Texas, more next than the post match show.

Now back to Seattle, Sounders Sucker on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.

Use of the song recently four wins in the last five.

Now Sounders taken care of business tonight down in Houston, Texas, a big three to one win, two goals from Albert Rusnak and a goal from Danny Mazowski. And it's time for our Emerald Queen Casino Play of the Match. For the fifth time in five games. Mazoski did it again.

Tay comes Rothrock, right corner of the box, towards the endline. It goes closed down.

Now back anning and it's Massovski fifth goal in five games.

Can you believe it?

Missovsky on a rich fain of form.

The Play of the match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest. As Danny Mazowski fifth and five, he joins Obithemi Martin's, Freddie Montero roll Ruy Diaz, the four of them the only four to score goals in five consecutive games.

Pete, I don't know what else to say. It's the moose just can't stop scoring well.

When he came to Seattle a couple of years ago, I asked Brian, how many goals do you think he's going to get?

And and I thought he would say eight because he had a pretty good.

Run with LA, had a pretty good run with RSL, and so I thought he would He's capable of this.

What I loved about the goal today is his run is to the near post.

He takes Ethan Bartlow to the near post and then he fades back about two or three yards. Bartlow doesn't catch it, and so now he's got a wide open header that's a lot easier to miss than to make. But it was that run that he made that was terrific. So he has done a really good job of you know, that was probably his third touch of the game, by the way, Yeah, when he got that goal. But that's you know, we had Chance Fry, and Chance Fry scored a lot of goals, and he could do nothing for

You, by the way, yeah.

Score I scored.

Yeah, he loved it. He didn't care.

We had a game where Alex Uh rolled on, scored, smashed a great volley and then Danny Massovski came and tied it back up Uh to make go one to one, and then they got a PK.

We got a PK and then we won the game.

But Danny is it just he's a very good goal scorer. And again I said it earlier. I think Brian Schpetzer leaving him on the game after getting two good chances in the first half first half last week and then getting a third chance and giving him a little more time to get that goal. I think that gave him the confidence. So and I was surprised Brian left him one. He may still be wanting to get more out of him, but he's gonna go play his old team in La.

Yeah, that's gonna be a great match, no I I I love to see Dank scorting again.

Uh.

I mean it's funny always we were talking before the game. Yeah, it's it's you know, even Brian Schemetz like I wouldn't better if he doesn't score. He did and obviously, and now we have daniels Howsky one if he scores again, right, And just beating all records with Oba is the only player.

I believe it's Oba the only person to do it six games. So right now he has the chance to join.

Yeah, I thought, if you're a Sounders, you know, longtime fan, especially the MLS era, when you say Freddy, go Freddy Montero, right when you say Oba, You're going, yeah, Obafemi Martins, you know.

And then yeah, like Jordan and now he was just known by Danny.

If you just yeah, if you just called him Danny, say Danny who Yeah.

Now but now though now immortality he's getting his way into that list.

Sure, no, but just to have from Pete what you were saying.

And it's all about when you're a forward, it's about that keep up that momentum, right, and that confidence as well, and I think that's why also he stayed longer in the pitch. But also to me, it's not easy to be a forward because you really, you know, you're kind for scoring goals at the right moment, at the right time. And that run that you mentioned, it's just perfect right the way. It's really hard to do it on the pitch.

It's not easy for any for it isn't.

We're a little tight on time, So I want to continue to run through a couple other guys I wanted to talk about. The first is Ryan Kent, because he was the guy we started the pre match show talking about getting his first start for the Sounders tonight. Play sixty six minutes eventually comes off for Georgie and for

Well, we heard from Stephen Fry when he got there and from Brian Spetzer that he just is relentless running app players over and over. His final product is what I really love, and I think it's elevated the entire winger core because everybody's picking people out instead of just getting across in. It's not enough just to get I got my cross in. I got six crosses in. Did you pick somebody out? Did you cut it back?

Did you get it to the near post? Did you clip the one that he clipped up and over the top over the goalkeeper?

I thought that was an exceptional So his quality is good and he's making everybody around him better. He's making Georgy do the exact same thing. Pedro de la Vega came in with a real spark in the second half, and I think it's because he sees what other guys are doing.

He wants to be a part of it.

Yeah, And I think I think for for coach Schmetz, it's it's the options that you have on the wings, if you add now Kent and having that experience he's he has so much experience on the way he runs. It's really smart running, right. He doesn't run just for the case of running, but like you see with Minongu that it's a lot of power. It's still young. But I think it's just always the right decisions and it's not easy to be a winger, especially to finish those

He has a repertoire and he's not predictable. That's what's fun.

He can beat you going down the line, he can beat you coming inside. Uh he has Stanny Uh. Jackson said, what a nightmare to go from having Ryan Kemp running at you for forty five minutes for Dorsey and then Georgie coming in or however long he was on for sixties sixty five minutes.

So yeah, I like him, I just think, and he's having fun.

Yeap.

That's a great sign his.

Love of it.

He said it now a few times, including the Danny earlier this week. His love of football is back, and you can you can see that love and that joy playing and boy he is a I mean, right now they have because Paul Rothrock also was pretty good in his forty fists God assists, So right now you have Rothrock, you have Kent, you have Georgie, you have Ferrera who can play a few different spots.

Caedro.

The list goes on and on and on.

I feel like I'm missing somebody, but still the list goes on and on and on, and these guys are all competing for just a couple of spots because you have Albert in the middle, and Albert in the middle isn't going anywhere, So we're just talking about those two winger spots. And that list I just gave was five deep and could probably be longer if you know various

Now back to Seattle Sounders Sucker on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.

Sounders Win. Sounders win three to one down in Houston against the Dynamo tonight. Two goals from your Toyota man of the match Albert Rusnak and Danny Mazowski scoring his fifth in five games. Good performance all around from the Sanders, who now come home for a very very short stretch before leaving again on Tuesday because they have a busy week. First, it's the LA, It's not the It's LAFC. On Wednesday. That's gonna be right here. Sports Radio ninety three point

So busy week for Seattle.

And you know, it's interesting kind of to continue the conversation about the death right now. Winger Brian was able to make a lot of different substitutes in the second half, and he's going to have a lot of choices and options for how to structure these next two big road games.

Well he is.

This is where his man management skill is going to pay off, and his relationship with his players is going to pay off.

They all know, they're all competitors. They all know that they've got to do the job.

I mean, every single one of them knows that it's about going out and producing, doing the defensive work, doing all the running that you need to do and then you've got to serve quality balls.

You've got to get on the end of balls as well, and you have to do your job.

The nice thing is he could get a rotation going diego that between this game and the next too, he could have a rotation where they become like their own unit of okay, you go in, now you go torture them, right.

One hundred percent.

And I think you're playing against an LAFC that they're playing tomorrow against the best team in the Western Conference that's Vancouver. And also LAFC will know that they're going to be playing an important match at the end of the month against Globe America right for that spot for the FIFA Club World Cup. So to me, they're also looking at some rotation as well. So that to me, it's it's an advantage for Seattle Saunders in that sense. And also they come off after this game with no

But you can as you can if you think about it too, right.

That's how we're gonna end this show by simply answering this question, does Danny join OBA six and six?

Yeah?

Why not?

That was not.

Sure?

That was sure?

I would say yeah, yes, because you always a score against your former team, and that's LAFC, so I took to make up for you.

I'll say an emphatic hell, yes, he's going to make it six and six. The moose cannot be stopped, he cannot be contained. You can only hope and pray that he doesn't score two on you, because he's gonna get one. All right, Sounders win tonight, l a FC coming up next, that's Wednesday, seven o'clock right here, ninety three point three kJ RFM.

Look forward to that match.
