TUKWILA, WASH. - Midfielder Zach Mathers scored a goal in the first minute of the match, as Sounders FC 2 (9-15-3, 30 points) drew Reno 1868 FC (14-6-7, 49 points) 1-1 at Starfire Stadium on Saturday evening.

Saturday's fixture featured an incredible start for the Rave Green, with Mathers finding the back of the net in the opening minute. The second-year midfielder out of Duke delivered a well-struck shot on a free kick from the left flank, which blitzed through a crowded area and tucked inside the far post.
