Here are the notable notes for Sunday afternoon’s match between the Sounders and Real Salt Lake at CenturyLink Field:
- Kevin Stott is the referee, Chris Strickland and Kermit Quisenberry are his assistants and Dave Gantar is the fourth official.
- Real Salt Lake leads the all-time series between the clubs 8-6-4, though Seattle does boast a 5-2-2 record in games played at CenturyLink Field. They’ve met twice in the postseason, RSL triumphing in the 2011 Western Conference semifinals and Seattle returning the favor in the same round one year later.
- Sunday marks the second of three league meetings between Seattle and Salt Lake, with RSL having won the first edition 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium back in March.
