82' - Lodeiro! Across the face of goal...no dice. #SEAvCHI

82' Nicolás Lodeiro fires wide of Sean Johnson's goal with his left foot. #cf97 still looking to draw level in Seattle. #SEAvCHI

Arshakyan rises up for a free header at the near post but puts it high and wide

We've reached the "trap the ball in the corner" portion of tonight's proceedings. Two minutes until stoppage time

by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/29/2016 4:22:49 AM
Say what you want about the Fire, but I am digging Arshakyan's role as an Andy-Carroll-esque battering ram off the bench

89' - Goossens tries one from distance. Off target. #Sounders holding 1-0 lead #SEAvCHI

Arshakyan drags a low shot that Frei can only push wide for a Chicago corner. Momentary gasps around CenturyLink

The Sounders basically picked up a point a week on 6th place over the last nine weeks. That’s… I don’t know if that’s human.
