After grabbing 3 points in Orlando, the Boys in Blue headed cross-country to face Seattle in one of their toughest road games of 2018 aiming to extend a run of 398 minutes without conceding a goal in MLS play. With a few changes made to the Starting XI, Jo Inge Berget started for the first time since his recent injury and 2017 MLS First Round Draft pick Kwame Awuah made his first start as a NYCFC player.
Though the road warriors started strong from the first kick, it was the home team who got on the board first.
