TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders accomplished their objective of their 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup run with a 2-1 fourth-round victory over the Portland Timbers at Starfire Sports Complex on June 13.
They’ll now turn their focus to the USOC Round of 16, which will pit the Rave Green against the San Jose Earthquakes in a road matchup at Avaya Stadium on Wednesday (7:30 p.m. PT; Live stream on SoundersFC.com; KIRO Radio 97.3 FM). A victory would put Seattle through to the tournament’s quarterfinals for the seventh time in nine MLS seasons and inch the club one step closer to its fifth USOC title.
