TUKWILA, Wash. — To say that the Seattle Sounders are familiar with FC Dallas would be an understatement.
Seattle will host FCD on Sunday (6:30 p.m. PT; FS1, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM) in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals, the third straight year the two teams have met in this round of the playoffs. In the most recent matchup between these teams, Seattle lost 2-1 at FC Dallas on Oct. 16 in the penultimate game of the regular season.
“It was a competitive game [on Oct. 16],” Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer said.
