The Seattle Sounders will play their ninth home opener on Sunday (4 p.m. PT; FS1, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM | TICKETS) when they welcome the New York Red Bulls to CenturyLink Field.
The Sounders are 5-3 in the season’s first home match and have outscored their opponents 12-4. This is the second time the Sounders have played the Red Bulls in the home opener after hosting New York in Seattle’s inaugural MLS match in 2009.
The Sounders’ best performance in a home opener came from David Estrada, whose hat trick led Seattle to a 3-1 win over Toronto FC in 2012.
