The Seattle Sounders will host Real Salt Lake on Saturday (2 p.m. PT; JOEtv, Univision, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM | TICKETS) trying to snap a three-game losing slide. Here are three matchups to watch:
Osvaldo Alonso missed the Sounders’ loss at Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday with right quad tightness, but it does not appear to be too serious and he very well could return on Saturday. If he does play, he will get his first look at RSL’s new Designated Player Albert Rusnak, a 22-year-old Slovakian playmaker who pulls the strings offensively.
