Wild night in Seattle. Gripping game. Dempsey the star, but Peralta goal shifts the tie. #SEAvCA #MLS

Clint Dempsey had the heroics for Sounders, but Oribe Peralta the final word for Club América. @kylejmccarthy : foxs.pt/1LFoJzb

Club América manager Nacho Ambriz notes back and forth nature of the match and says América must play well in return to go through. #CCL

See you next week at the Azteca. It’ll be fun. @WillParchman out. I’ll have a story about Dempsey free kicking the moon tonight.

Ambriz said Club América watched Seattle's preseason matches and cited their work on counter against LA Galaxy. #CCL

Wait… is Club America going to sign Blanco? Is that a thing?

by Will Parchman via twitter 2/24/2016 5:27:27 AM
Ambriz bats away question about Cuauhtemoc Blanco to conclude his presser. #LigaMX

#Sounders Head Coach Sigi Schmid: "I was very proud of what our guys did."

by Seattle Sounders FC via twitter 2/24/2016 5:29:05 AM
Cuauhtemoc Blanco is a vampire. Not in a figurative sense. He is an actual vampire who will live for 750 years.

by Will Parchman via twitter 2/24/2016 5:29:37 AM
Schmid: "He (@clint_dempsey ) was obviously a target, a guy they were going after. There has to be more protection and awareness."

by Seattle Sounders FC via twitter 2/24/2016 5:30:50 AM
Schmid: "I can't say enough about the effort our team put in...I thought our guys did really well."

Who picked up the first goal at @CenturyLink_Fld in 2016? None other than @clint_dempsey of course! #SEAvCA

It was enjoyable hearing Ambriz talk about the difficulty in adjusting to the turf. If only they'd played this tie last year.
