Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris scored his first goal of the 2017 Major League Soccer season in Sunday’s 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls, but he almost exited the match before it happened.
Morris came up limping toward the end of the first half after a collision with Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles and was visibly agitated until the halftime break. Morris’ father Michael is the Sounders’ team doctor and, after having conversed with the training staff and head coach Brian Schmetzer, wanted to take his son off at halftime. Jordan said no.
