Minnesota United
Seattle Sounders
Outstanding performance
Seattle Sounders•DefenderMinnesota United and Seattle Sounders played out a cagey goalless draw in a match that was more defined by physicality than attacking flair. The encounter was marred by four yellow cards, with both teams struggling to find their rhythm amid frequent stoppages for fouls. Seattle was forced into an early substitution when Jackson Ragen replaced an injured player in the 22nd minute, disrupting their defensive shape. The Sounders made a bold attacking move in the 65th minute, bringing on Jordan Morris and Jesús Ferreira to try and break the deadlock, but neither side could find the breakthrough in a contest that highlighted both teams' defensive solidity rather than creative spark.
