Kansas City's Matt Besler looks to have opened the scoring ... only to have the goal disallowed for offside

Sporting puts the ball in the net; AR's flag waves it off. Feels like a) that goal was a matter of time, and b) Seattle got a break #SEAvKC

53' - OFFSIDE! GOAL KC is negated! Still 0-0 #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:36:15 AM
Ugh

by Sporting Kansas City via twitter 10/28/2016 3:36:18 AM
That was reallllly close. But on replay, Besler does look to have edged slightly offside

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:36:24 AM
True on all accounts twitter.com/richardfarley/…

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:37:01 AM
Sounders started 2nd well, but after ~5 minutes, started being a second behind the play again. Sporting /feels/ like the better side, still

by Richard Farley via twitter 10/28/2016 3:37:15 AM
54' - The whistle is blowing early and often in the second. This one in the #Sounders favor. #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:37:41 AM
46' - 45 minutes. Win or go home. LET'S DO THIS. #SEAvSKC

For 55 mins the Qs have been "Why isn't Seattle doing X?" The answer becoming clearer and clearer: Sporting is just outplaying them, period.

Besler held onside by Mears' arm. #SportingKC #SEAvSKC http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cv00BZrUMAAgvdx.jpg

Sounders are pinned back at the moment. Sporting again starting to impose its will

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:38:51 AM
IOW, credit to Sporting KC for this performance, thus far.

by Richard Farley via twitter 10/28/2016 3:39:03 AM
56' - #Sounders clear a pair of corners and now on the attack! #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:39:14 AM
57' - TORRES! #Sounders again connect on the setpiece but. can't. turn. it. in! #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:40:20 AM
Lodeiro wins, takes another free kick that Torres fires high. The Uruguayan has been a one-man attack tonight

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:40:35 AM
There again, Sounders get a good look off a restart. If there's a way Seattle tips the scales, it'll be Torres redeeming his first half.

by Richard Farley via twitter 10/28/2016 3:40:36 AM
58' - Oh and Nico megged a guy. It was pretty cool. #SEAvSKC

Scoreless through an hour of action at CenturyLink Field. The visitors look the likelier team to break the deadlock #SEAvKC

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:44:03 AM
Frei tips a rising Sinovic shot over the bar. He hit that one cleanly

62' - FREI SAVES again! Ball had menace but Frei saw it the whole way. Ensuing corner is cleared. #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:45:48 AM
Schmetzer must find a way to shift the momentum here. Valdez for Fernandez? Evans?

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:45:51 AM
Prob off by rule, but rule should change. Offside should require daylight btw attacker and defender. Would open gam… twitter.com/i/web/status/7…

63' - First yellow for KC...goes to Sinovic. #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:46:46 AM
65' - Hmmm. Well that is pretty obviously #Sounders ball...#SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:47:59 AM
And bigger picture, as part of his audition for the full-time job, he also has to show he's capable of influencing… twitter.com/i/web/status/7…

What a ball from Lodeiro, whipped into the Sporting box. Nobody on the end of it, though

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:50:38 AM
67' - Oh it's a fantastic ball from NICO! Trio of attackers just a whisker shy of it! #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:50:48 AM
Alonso lucky not to see a second yellow there. Did appear to get at least a piece of the ball, though

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:51:52 AM
69' - Ref calling for stretcher for Benny Feilhaber. #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:52:14 AM
Alonso, on a yellow, took a huge risk to stop that Sporting counter. He left his game in Elfath's hands, well-excused challenge or not.

by Richard Farley via twitter 10/28/2016 3:52:16 AM
Feilhaber waves off the stretcher. Would be a huge loss for SKC. He's been fantastic tonight

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:52:34 AM
70' - Benny says, "Never mind, I'll walk." #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:52:55 AM
Soccer crowd boos because player is not dead.

Fight and win. #SEAvSKC http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cv04LHnUAAA3lyz.jpg

73' - Chances starting to flow for #Sounders . Unable to make much of them so far though. #SEAvSKC

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/28/2016 3:56:25 AM
Signs of life from the Seattle attack. Benny Feilhaber, tonight's pantomime villain, may have tempted the Sounders' focus. #SEAvsKC

by Richard Farley via twitter 10/28/2016 3:56:39 AM
Lodeiro beats the offside trap, but cross comes up empty. This match feels like it's slightly tilting in Seattle's direction

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/28/2016 3:56:49 AM
The tension here has really escalated since Feilhaber's ... one-man show? Everything's drawing the south end's ire. #SEAvKC #MLSCupPlayoffs
