The Seattle Sounders get only a couple of days to relax before they hit the pitch again. This time around it’s Round of 16 action of the 2017 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup against the San Jose Earthquakes.
To get here, the Sounders defeated the Portland Timbers 2-1 in the fourth round a few weeks ago, while the Earthquakes knocked off the San Francisco Deltas with two quick goals within the first six minutes of the match.
This will be the third time since 2012 the Sounders and San Jose have faced off in the Open Cup.
