Seattle Sounders showcase veteran experience as they defeat Minnesota United, secure No. 2 seed in Western Conference

The Seattle Sounders secured three points and the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference for the 2019 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs with a 1-0 victory over Minnesota United at CenturyLink Field on Sunday.

Entering the match in control of their destiny, Seattle came flying out of the gates against the Loons. Winger Jordan Morris, who scored the game-winning goal against the San Jose Earthquakes the previous week, carved out several quality opportunities with his direct running in transition.

Seattle’s pressure, bolstered by the raucous crowd at CenturyLink Field, eventually paid off in the in the 29th minute as Román Torres bagged his first-ever goal for the Sounders.
