It all comes down to this.
The Seattle Sounders have already clinched a spot in the 2019 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. But that doesn’t mean Sunday’s match against Minnesota United (1:00 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM | TICKETS) won’t carry any weight. The team’s objective is simple: beat the Loons and secure the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.
“I think it’s do-or-die for us,” said midfielder Cristian Roldan. “It’s a final. We [will] treat it as such.”
With only one match remaining in the regular season, the Sounders could still land anywhere between fifth and second in the jam-packed West.
