TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders dodged a bullet ahead of their Decision Day match against Real Salt Lake.
Defensive midfielder Osvaldo Alonso does not appear to be facing an extended suspension for his ejection against the Houston Dynamo last week. He was sent off after a scrum with Will Bruin and was suspended for the team’s 2-1 loss at FC Dallas on Sunday, but neither he nor the Sounders have heard anything from the MLS Disciplinary Committee.
“Sometimes that happens, but [my teammates] support me, we are together and we’re moving forward,” said Alonso.
