Yeimar Gómez Andrade makes debut, Gustav Svensson returns as Seattle Sounders battle back for a point

The Seattle Sounders split the points with visiting Columbus Crew SC at CenturyLink Field on Saturday, conceding a first-half goal to Gyasi Zardes but getting a second-half penalty kick from Raúl Ruidíaz.

Columbus struck first in the 33rd minute off a point-blank finish via Zardes, who was found crashing the back post on a cross from Luis Díaz.

But Ruidíaz would pull the Sounders back level from the spot after a penalty kick was won by Nouhou, who sent in a cross that went off the hand of a Columbus defender. Seattle thought they had their equalizer in the half, but a chipped finish from midfielder Miguel Ibarra was waved off on Video Review.
