The "greatest rivalry in the MLS" went in favor of the Seattle Sounders as they defeated the Timbers 1-0 in Seattle. The Sounders won the derby and are rounding into playoff form with spectacular performances by Frei, Nouhou, Ragen, Alex Roldan, and de la Vega, amongst others, as they shut out and defeated the Timbers at Lumen Field and ensured the higher spot in the rankings for bragging rights.
The Timbers haven't lost to the Sounders in Seattle since, 2017. The Sounders have been looking for a rebound game to get them back on track following their League's Cup title.
