Outstanding performance
Seattle Sounders•GoalkeeperSeattle Sounders secured a crucial 1-0 victory at St. Louis City thanks to substitute Kalani Kossa-Rienzi's early second-half strike. The Sounders' tactical gamble to bring on Kossa-Rienzi in the 23rd minute paid dividends as the substitute found the net just two minutes after the restart, capitalizing on a well-worked move through the center of the box. St. Louis City pushed hard for an equalizer throughout the second half, coming closest through Chris Durkin's wide effort from a corner just before halftime, but Seattle's defense held firm despite late pressure and multiple yellow cards disrupting the flow.
