Sporting Kansas City and Seattle Sounders FC renewed their rivalry on Saturday at Lumen Field. Conditions were brutal for both squads, as the 75 degree weather required the Teenwolf Referee, Alex Chilowicz, to call a hydration break in the first half.
The first few minutes of the game started slowly as both teams were feeling each other out. In the 8th minute, Seattle sprayed a ball out wide to fullback Alex Roldan. Logan Ndenbe shifted out to cover him, and Roldan cut the ball back to his brother, midfielder Cristian Roldan. Nobody stepped up to the US international as he put a ball into the box.
