Seattle Sounders defender Oniel Fisher made sure to make some noise during his first regular season appearance of 2017 in the Sounders’ 2-2 draw against the Montreal Impact on Saturday.
The third-year University of New Mexico product had been working his way back from the league’s concussion protocol and didn’t factor into Seattle’s 2-1 defeat to the Houston Dynamo last weekend. But after entering Saturday’s match as a 59th-minute substitute with his team down 2-0, Fisher made his presence felt, drawing a pivotal penalty kick that allowed midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro to cut the lead in half.
