Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer earns 150th MLS win with 3-1 victory over
Minnesota United
SEATTLE (AP) --- Seattle got goals from Jordan Morris, Hassani Dotson and Paul
Arriola to help the Sounders beat Minnesota United 3-1 on Saturday night,
upping their unbeaten streak to seven and earning coach Brian Schmetzer his
150th MLS victory.
Seattle (9-9-8) jumped back in the Western Conference playoff picture with a
second straight win following five straight draws during a club-record 13-match
winless streak that ended with a 2-0 victory over visiting Real Salt Lake.
Morris used assists from Albert Rusnk and Cristian Roldan to score his second
goal of the season and give Seattle a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. Rusnk's
helper was his 11th and Roldan collected his fourth.
Drake Callender had a save on a shot by Morris, but the ball deflected to
Dotson and he banged it in for a two-goal lead over his former club in the 35th
minute. The defender has two goals in 19 appearances with the Sounders after
totaling 17 goals in 149 matches with Minnesota United from 2019-25.
Minnesota United (7-12-8) cut it to 2-1 in the 57th minute on a goal by
defender Anthony Markanich --- his eighth of the season. Bongokuhle Hlongwane
earned his first assist this season after subbing in to start the second half,
and Kelvin Yeboah picked up his third.
The Sounders regained a two-goal advantage in the 83rd minute when substitute
Paul Arriola used another assist from Rusnk and one from 20-year-old rookie
Sebastian Gomez --- his third --- to score for the second time this season.
Andrew Thomas finished with one save for Seattle.
Callender stopped five shots for Minnesota United.
Seattle improves to 6-4-3 at home.
Minnesota finished September 0-5-0, while falling to 2-6-6 on the road.
