3’ - That Ozzie/Roldan/Joevin Jones interchange on the left was the stuff of unicorn dreams.

Official word on the lack of Feilhaber: Abdominal strain

by Matt Pentz via twitter 3/7/2016 12:24:06 AM
5’ - Sounds a knock-knockin’. Two corners in the last minute. Ivanschitz warming up his left early.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:24:16 AM
Yes, yes we are. #SEAvSKC t.co

by Seattle Sounders FC via twitter 3/7/2016 12:24:45 AM
It’s turf but significantly more plush. We went from berber to shag carpeting. twitter.com/theEdwardJC/st…

Nacho x2. Piatti slots in @impactmontreal 's 3rd of the night: soc.cr/Z8Akp #SoccerSunday

7’ - Ozzie doing work already. No Feilhaber won’t exactly hurt his production today.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:26:44 AM
9’ - JORDAN MORRIS NEEEEARLLLY. Morris just missed high but that through ball from Ivanschitz deserves a KNIGHTHOOD.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:27:44 AM
Huge early chance for Morris. Ivanschitz springs him on the counter but the shot skies over the bar

by Matt Pentz via twitter 3/7/2016 12:27:46 AM
9’ - Morris will be upset with himself for missing that chance, but he was past light speed at that point. Hard to tell your foot to chill.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:28:28 AM
This Jordan Morris kid is a bust. :)

by Percy Allen via twitter 3/7/2016 12:28:52 AM
It's not grass, bit it is nice to have a decent playing surface in Seattle finally.

by Grant Wahl via twitter 3/7/2016 12:29:35 AM
.@JmoSmooth13 SO close!

11’ - I can’t fathom this place if Morris manages to score in his first MLS game. SoDo might spontaneously combust.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:30:04 AM
Lightning quick break and a glimpse of what Morris can bring on that right hand side. Good chance

13’ - Grrrreat ball from Valdez leads Ivanschitz into the box, but his cross peters out. Sounders looking danger zone.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:31:53 AM
FT: For a 2nd stright season, a Canadian rivals has beaten @WhitecapsFC at BC Place. A well deserved 3-2 win by @impactmontreal . #VANvMTL

Diving save from Melia denies a Dempsey free kick that looked destined for the upper corner

by Matt Pentz via twitter 3/7/2016 12:33:28 AM
14’ - Dempsey earns a FK about 25 yards out, and NEARLY SPLASHTOWN’D IT. Almost upper-90, but Melia hero-saves.

... and Chad Marshall heads the resulting corner off the bar. All Sounders through 14 minutes and change, but still scoreless

by Matt Pentz via twitter 3/7/2016 12:33:52 AM
15’ - ANOTHER CHANCE. Marshall’s header off the ensuing corner hits the crossbar. SKC just full-on Matrix bullet-dodging right now.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:34:06 AM
That's an incredible save. Good hit from @clint_dempsey Very good start for @SoundersFC

18’ - TWO CORNERS IN A ROW. SKC scrambles both out of the box. Living dangerously, my friends.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:37:08 AM
19’ - Joevin Jones is very, very good.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:37:48 AM

I don't think I've ever seen Cristian Roldan that animated. Almost picked up a yellow protesting a foul

by Matt Pentz via twitter 3/7/2016 12:38:24 AM
Hallisey with a great look against the run of play but he shoots tamely at Frei

by Matt Pentz via twitter 3/7/2016 12:40:16 AM
21’ - SAVE FREI. Hallisey snuck in one the left flank and Frei saves Seattle’s bacon with a nice 1v1 save. Freidom.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:40:24 AM
22’ - Valdez just missed Ivanschitz streaking into the box with no one within 15 yards. That’ll hurt.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:41:19 AM
The man of the hour! Piatti leads @impactmontreal with 2 goals in a 3-2 win over @WhitecapsFC #SoccerSunday http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cc5-FjYVAAAItcw.jpg

So, Tim Melia's still pretty dope. #SportingKC #SEAvSKC

by AndyEdSKC via twitter retweeted by SportingKC 3/7/2016 12:41:47 AM
24’ - SKC is dangerous all of the sudden. Frei palms another save. Nice of you to join us, lads.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 3/7/2016 12:43:05 AM
.@Stefan24Frei you're the man. That is all. #SEAvSKC t.co
