The Seattle Sounders finished the 2019 regular season with an intense 1-0 home win against Minnesota United, securing the second seed in the Western Conference for the playoffs. The Sounders will now take the next two weeks to prepare for their MLS-record 11th straight playoff appearance. They will face FC Dallas, who defeated an already eliminated Sporting Kansas City, 6-0.
The game saw a fantastic performance from the defensive unit, who have now secured back-to-back clean sheets and have three shutouts in their past four matches. Roman Torres started in place of the suspended Xavier Arreaga and scored the lone goal.
