The Seattle Sounders salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw in their Thursday night Cascadia rivalry matchup with the Portland Timbers thanks to a clutch late equalizer from Will Bruin.
Andres Flores scored just 10 minutes into the contest to put Portland on top – a lead the visitors would hold until the game’s waning moments. Then, three minute into second-half stoppage time, Bruin came to the rescue with a close-range finish off a corner kick from João Paulo, ending the contest in a 1-1 stalemate.
With the result the sides remain tied on 32 points atop the Western Conference table, with Seattle holding the top spot on the goal differential tiebreaker and also possessing a game in hand.
