They could play for three hours and I'm not sure SKC would score a goal from the run of play. Beware those pesky set plays, thoughby Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 9:51:58 PM

Pineda's lofted pass & Oba's lethal finish. That's his 1⃣4⃣th of the season. #SKCvSEA

40’ - Ellis picks out Quintilla in midfield, and he’s knocked over for the FK from about 25. Anor’s FK is… not good.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 9/27/2015 9:55:03 PM

45’ - Alonso, who’s a bit feisty today, nabs a yellow that was coming, in all honesty.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 9/27/2015 9:58:19 PM
