It was game, set piece, match for the Seattle Sounders, which scored directly off a pair of Nicolas Lodeiro corner kicks to defeat the Houston Dynamo, 3-2, at BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday.
Chad Marshall celebrated his 400th regular season appearance with his fourth goal of the season in the 26th minute, latching onto a Lodeiro corner kick and putting a looping header inside the far post.
The Dynamo had a great chance to equalize four minutes from halftime, but Stefan Frei dived to his right to get a hand on Romell Quioto’s deflected attempt from outside of the box.
