SEATTLE -- Clint Dempsey scored the game’s only goal in the 36th minute, pacing the Seattle Sounders to a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City at CenturyLink Field on Saturday afternoon.
The longtime U.S. Men's national team staple cashed home the game-winning tally after Jordan Morris lofted in a cross from the right flank that sailed over the head of Will Bruin and directly into the path of Dempsey, who hit a perfectly placed header past SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia and into the net. Neither side would manage to find the net after that, affording Seattle all three points and extending the club’s current unbeaten streak to eight matches.
