Major League Soccer on Thursday named Sounders FC captain Nicolás Lodeiro and center back Yeimar to the Week 16 Team of the Week following their dominant performances in Seattle’s 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake.
With several players absent due to international duty and injury, Lodeiro supplied a midfield masterclass, propelling the Sounders to three points against an RSL side resolute on bunkering deep and hoping for a point. In addition to his two assists, Lodeiro registered four key passes and covered ground all over the pitch.
