Speaker 1: Show starts now.
Speaker 2: Welcome into Loomin Field for Seattle Sounders Portland Timbers number
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty four. After a one to one
Speaker 2: draw between these clubs down in the Row City back
Speaker 2: in May, the two heated rivals will face off a
Speaker 2: kin here tonight for the Sounders, just three matches left
Speaker 2: in the MLS regular season and with this game a
Speaker 2: chance to try to keep the Timbers out of the
Speaker 2: playoffs as well. It is still possible. The intensity, the passion,
Speaker 2: the fire, It will be here tonight as it always
Speaker 2: is for the greatest rivalry in American soccer. We welcome
Speaker 2: you to the Center's FC pre match show presented by Providence,
Speaker 2: Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Center's FC. We'll mention
Speaker 2: that tonight's match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the
Speaker 2: entertainment capital of the Northwest. Here in the broadcast booth,
Speaker 2: Jackson felt alongside former Seattle Center center back Shane O'Neil.
Speaker 2: We are counting you down to kickoff. It will be
Speaker 2: Danny Jackson, Steve Zachwani, Michelle Ludko on the sideline for
Speaker 2: Sounders Timbers.
Speaker 3: Shane.
Speaker 2: Always fun when these teams face off, and I imagine
Speaker 2: being part of this rivalry for a while. Either's there's
Speaker 2: nothing quite like it in soccer in this country.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, this is one of the if not the premier
Speaker 4: rivalry in the country in MLS, and it's a date
Speaker 4: we all look forward to. And it's kind of a
Speaker 4: game where you you throw the tactic Ford out a
Speaker 4: little bit. It's just there's just so much intensity, fire
Speaker 4: and that fight that's gonna be the determining factor in
Speaker 4: tonight's game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so many factors.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's always funny.
Speaker 2: We always talk about how no matter how these teams
Speaker 2: are doing at a certain point, you know in their seasons,
Speaker 2: really the ultimately you just wash away all the stats,
Speaker 2: you wash away all the records, None of that matters.
Speaker 2: What matters is the intensity. What matters is who wants
Speaker 2: it more, the fight that exists between these clubs. We
Speaker 2: know that Seattle plays in a lot of finals and
Speaker 2: this is certainly one of the biggest games on their
Speaker 2: calendar every single year. Obviously Miami, seventy thousand people were
Speaker 2: in the building a few weeks ago. This club has
Speaker 2: a lot of big, big games here at Luminfield. For
Speaker 2: the Timbers, they don't play in as many big games.
Speaker 3: This is their.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl every single year when they come to Seattle.
Speaker 2: This is the match they care about the most. This
Speaker 2: is really if you were to ask a Timbers fan,
Speaker 2: I bet give me one match every season ye want
Speaker 2: to win.
Speaker 3: They're not thinking finals like we are.
Speaker 2: They're thinking at Seattle and we gotta match that intensity
Speaker 2: here tonight, Shane, you're laughing, I'm not joking. This is
Speaker 2: everything for Portland. They don't play in League's Cup finals.
Speaker 2: They play in MLS is back finals. They don't go
Speaker 2: and win two MLS Cups. We have two MLS Cups.
Speaker 2: They don't have a CONCA CALF Champions League trophy.
Speaker 3: We have a CONCA CAFF Champions League trophy. They don't have.
Speaker 2: Four US Open Cups. We have four US Open Cups.
Speaker 2: They want to be us, they ain't us. For them,
Speaker 2: this is facing the big dog, this is facing the
Speaker 2: big brother. We are on top. They try to knock
Speaker 2: us off every year. That's the reality of the situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously I respect the commitment there, and
Speaker 4: you know, credit to Portland though for a few years
Speaker 4: there they had a great run. They got to a
Speaker 4: couple of MLS Cup finals. Obviously winning one. One MLS
Speaker 4: is back as you mentioned in Orlando, so, you know,
Speaker 4: trying to be a little bit you know, neutrality to
Speaker 4: the commentary booth. I feel like Portland for a club,
Speaker 4: you know, not obviously the size of Seattle have certainly
Speaker 4: held their own and punched above their weight at times.
Speaker 4: So and the thing I love about tonight's game is
Speaker 4: there's big stakes, you know, for both teams here going
Speaker 4: into the playoffs. Portland beat these points to secure their
Speaker 4: spot and obviously Seattle want to get into their groove
Speaker 4: going into the postseason that we haven't quite seen yet
Speaker 4: since since the league's Cup finals. So it's a really
Speaker 4: important game.
Speaker 3: You couldn't be more right.
Speaker 2: I mean, shoot, Portland looks at Seattle and sees them
Speaker 2: at forty six points. Timbers are at forty four points.
Speaker 2: This is a game where quite literally, the Timbers could
Speaker 2: jump the Sounders with a win here tonight at lumen Field.
Speaker 3: So lots of stakes here for these games.
Speaker 2: Quickly, Shane, let's jump back because there's so much time
Speaker 2: and there's so much to preview when it comes to
Speaker 2: Sounders Timbers.
Speaker 3: Let's take a look back because this.
Speaker 2: Is kind of part two of Rivalry Weeks. Because last weekend, Shane,
Speaker 2: we had the Vancouver white Caps year and they took
Speaker 2: a one nothing lead. Sounders got two goals inside a
Speaker 2: ninety seconds from Jackson, Reagan, Albert Rusnak. They take a
Speaker 2: two to one lead.
Speaker 3: But then the white Caps score on a set piece on.
Speaker 2: A corner kick editor into the back of the net
Speaker 2: and it finishes two too. So I think the question
Speaker 2: that we asked during the postgame show that I'll ask
Speaker 2: ye here again is did you see enough in that
Speaker 2: game where the Sounders were able to kind.
Speaker 3: Of get out of the post Leagues Cup Championship.
Speaker 4: Ango, Well, you're probably sick to here and me saying this,
Speaker 4: but I feel like I've talked a few times about
Speaker 4: these cold Christie Knights in Seattle and Vancouver was the
Speaker 4: first one of those that started to feel like the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: The second half of that game really started to feel
Speaker 4: like a playoff like atmosphere, and the Sounders played with
Speaker 4: a great intensity and vigor for about twenty five minutes,
Speaker 4: overwhelming the white Caps after they took that lead, and
Speaker 4: so we really felt like things were kind of pulling
Speaker 4: together and then obviously you give up a set piece
Speaker 4: goal walk out of there to two, Like we talked
Speaker 4: about on the broadcast. Though, Vancouver white Caps are a
Speaker 4: hell of an opponent. They're going to be an MLS
Speaker 4: Cup contender, So I think it was a great preview
Speaker 4: of what the playoffs are gonna hold. You're gonna have
Speaker 4: tough battles with tough teams, and tonight's no different. Portland
Speaker 4: is gonna propose some real threats, particularly from one or
Speaker 4: two of their.
Speaker 2: Really key man Yeah exactly, And when it comes to
Speaker 2: the playoffs, Sounders are kind of looking pretty squarely at
Speaker 2: somewhere between the five seed and the seven seed. So
Speaker 2: it's sort of a question of, you know, all right,
Speaker 2: what are those teams who are gonna be looking at
Speaker 2: in that first round LAFC, Minnesota, San Diego and Vancouver.
Speaker 2: And as we kind of approach the playoffs, three matches
Speaker 2: to go. Today it's against Portland next Saturday here at Lumenfield,
Speaker 2: it's RSL in a rescheduled game. Originally Salt Lake here
Speaker 2: at home was gonna be on the weekend of the
Speaker 2: Elite's Cup Final because we were playing their Messi in
Speaker 2: Miami and got that three to nothing win. That game
Speaker 2: got rescheduled against RSL to next Saturday, and that's the
Speaker 2: penultimate game of the season and then Decision Day, the
Speaker 2: final game at New York City FC. That is two
Speaker 2: weeks from today. But let's take a look at Shane
Speaker 2: at what the Sounders are doing today.
Speaker 3: Before we give you.
Speaker 2: The starting lineup, there is a couple of injury notes
Speaker 2: to share with you, so very quickly, let's dive in
Speaker 2: to the provident Swedish team health reports. Yamar Gomez Andrade
Speaker 2: is the major new name to report. According to Brian Schmitzer,
Speaker 2: Yamar Gomez Andrade is going to miss four weeks with
Speaker 2: a hamstring strain. That was four weeks from last weekend,
Speaker 2: so could be three weeks. The hope is to have
Speaker 2: him back for the playoffs, but Gomez Andrade not available
Speaker 2: for head coach Brian Schmitzer here as we round out
Speaker 2: the regular season.
Speaker 3: Alex Holdan also picked up.
Speaker 2: A knock in that Vancouver game, but I can tell
Speaker 2: you very good news. He is good to go and
Speaker 2: he is starting today. We'll get that full line up
Speaker 2: here in a moment.
Speaker 3: Also, Ryan Kent hamstring injury will keep that deep from
Speaker 3: the MLS Cup playoffs.
Speaker 2: Steuart Hawkins out with the quad and Paul Ariola out
Speaker 2: with the acl tair. We'll mention that that team health
Speaker 2: report consented by Providence Swedish, the official healthcare partner of
Speaker 2: Sound as F see okay. Here is the Delta starting eleven.
Speaker 2: Stephen Fry is in gold a back four of k
Speaker 2: new Who on the left, Alec Troldan on the right,
Speaker 2: Jackson Reagan and he will be next.
Speaker 3: To Kim key Hee coming in for Yamar.
Speaker 2: Christian rolled On will be a holding midfielder alongside Albert
Speaker 2: rusnack Up. The line you're attacking midfielders. Pedro de la
Speaker 2: Vega returns he is starting on the left. Heyesus Ferira
Speaker 2: is gonna be in the middle, and then it will
Speaker 2: be Paul Rothrock out on the right wing with Jordan
Speaker 2: Morris up top.
Speaker 3: Shane. That is about as first choice.
Speaker 2: I mean, that is the best eleven players I think
Speaker 2: you could put on the fields here tonight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously you drop Albert Russknack back a line. He's
Speaker 4: he's gonna be in that position next to Christian, and
Speaker 4: I think that's the one area that is gonna be
Speaker 4: interesting to watch. Obviously, that's a lot of attacking firepower
Speaker 4: on the pitch. Now, how do you balance that off
Speaker 4: in defensive transition moments? You know who's going to be
Speaker 4: doing that dirty work. I think Christian's gonna have to
Speaker 4: play a little bit more in that sixth role. Make
Speaker 4: sure he's sitting sort of balancing off Albert if he
Speaker 4: does drift forward, because obviously you know you got Hayesus
Speaker 4: and dala Vega on. That's a lot of attacking options there.
Speaker 4: So gonna have to be really mindful in transition, especially
Speaker 4: without Yamar, who's one of the best I would say
Speaker 4: transition center backs in the league. So just something to
Speaker 4: be mindful of. It's a very attack minded lineup.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that we talked about with
Speaker 2: head coach Bryan Schmeenzer yesterday is the freedom and the versatility.
Speaker 2: I think of that threesome of Christian Rolldon haes Wu's Fera,
Speaker 2: Albert Rusnak, and when you talk about the aggressiveness and
Speaker 2: the attack mindedness, you think that Christian Roldan of the
Speaker 2: three of them, is going to be the one who.
Speaker 3: Naturally sits back.
Speaker 2: But having Albert Rusnak in that lower position, I imagine
Speaker 2: Shane there is a pretty good amount of flexibility probably
Speaker 2: for him to get up the field and play alongside
Speaker 2: Hazus Ferira.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 4: The other thing too is the ability to play those
Speaker 4: splitting passes from deep. Albert Rossnak is such a fantastic
Speaker 4: passer of the ball, and so to have a guy
Speaker 4: in a position like that, I mean, especially when you
Speaker 4: guys got guys like Jazus Ferrara in between the lines,
Speaker 4: you need players who can pick him out. And to
Speaker 4: have Albert Rossnak going deep like that, I think it's
Speaker 4: gonna be a big coup for the Sounders here tonight,
Speaker 4: and it's you know, the other thing too that will
Speaker 4: be interesting to watch is Jordan Morris.
Speaker 6: Getting going, getting him up and running, and.
Speaker 4: Having guys like like again Albert finding Jesus who can
Speaker 4: then slip those balls into Jordan. I think it's really
Speaker 4: nice that the Sounders have so much attack and talent
Speaker 4: on the pitch to get him up and running.
Speaker 3: Will you tell me if I'm off base a little bit?
Speaker 3: But it didn't seem.
Speaker 2: Like Jordan Morris made enough runs in that last game
Speaker 2: against Vancouver. He got his first start in a long
Speaker 2: time in that white Caps game. And I, for one,
Speaker 2: maybe you can tell me that I'm dumb, but I,
Speaker 2: for one, I'm kind of looking at that saying to myself,
Speaker 2: I need Jordan to make more of those runs.
Speaker 3: So cycle more of those runs.
Speaker 2: Going, going, going, and get in behind those defenders over
Speaker 2: and over again to try to open up some space,
Speaker 2: but also try to get some balls behind their defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and obviously from a player's perspective, I might take
Speaker 4: you know, you also have to think of it as
Speaker 4: he needs that service too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he needs to know.
Speaker 6: That the ball.
Speaker 4: If I'm a striker. I don't want to be making
Speaker 4: all these runs off it. I don't think the balls
Speaker 4: come true, you know what I'm saying, And so I
Speaker 4: think for him. The other thing, too, is when you're
Speaker 4: out for a scene, if you don't out of time,
Speaker 4: that first game back is always tough. It's tough on
Speaker 4: the body, it's you know, it's tough to get up
Speaker 4: to speed. So I think tonight, you know, he's got
Speaker 4: all the attacking prowess around him. I think it's gonna
Speaker 4: be a really really good day for him, And like
Speaker 4: you said, making those runs, it's a lot easier when
Speaker 4: you know that ball is coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, we'll see what Brian Schmizer's lineup produces
Speaker 2: on the offensive end.
Speaker 3: It's so attack minded.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Sounders are in for a very very fun
Speaker 2: day here today against the Timbers. It is the one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty fourth occasion of Seattle and Portland playing soccer.
Speaker 3: Will of course give you the full rundown.
Speaker 2: Of this series against Portland in the long history a
Speaker 2: little bit later on in the pre match show, we'll
Speaker 2: also here from Paul Rothrock.
Speaker 3: He has some fun thoughts on Portland, who.
Speaker 2: Also have our players to watch Keys to the Match,
Speaker 2: and coming up next, we're gonna talk about these Portland
Speaker 2: Timbers and talk about the intensity of the rivalry. Shane O'Neill,
Speaker 2: former Sounders center back here, certainly can shed some light
Speaker 2: on the intensity there. We are live here from Loomenfield,
Speaker 2: the pre match show counting you Down to kickoff Sounders Timbers.

Speaker 2: Portland Timbers. Tonight, beautiful night here in Seattle for soccer,
Speaker 2: Beautiful night here in Seattle for all sports, and of
Speaker 2: course for the Huskies as well with their comeback win
Speaker 2: over Maryland earlier today. Trying to make this a big
Speaker 2: sport to stay here for our city.
Speaker 3: Let's continue the pre match show here at.
Speaker 2: Luminfield by talking about the horrible, ugly Portland Timbers. They
Speaker 2: are eleven, ten and eleven here on the season. They
Speaker 2: entered the weekend seventh place in the Western Conference with
Speaker 2: forty four points.
Speaker 4: They are six.
Speaker 2: Points above tenth place Dallas, which is the first team
Speaker 2: outside the playoff picture, so it is still.
Speaker 3: Possible they missed the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But more importantly, they're only two points back of Seattle,
Speaker 2: which means a win here today would have Portland to
Speaker 2: jump Seattle for fifth place.
Speaker 3: Talk about motivation.
Speaker 2: Forty one goals scored on the season is thirteen less
Speaker 2: than Seattle they're definitely having a little bit of a
Speaker 2: down year offensively. Forty three goals conceded though is five
Speaker 2: less than Seattle in one more match. They've done much
Speaker 2: better there this season.
Speaker 3: But Shane, we can.
Speaker 2: Talk about all the stats, we can talk about all
Speaker 2: this and that what really matters is the fight and
Speaker 2: the intensity in these games. What is it like as
Speaker 2: a player on the Sounder side as you experienced facing
Speaker 2: the Portland Timbers, especially here at home.
Speaker 4: Well, there's a couple things first and foremost, it's interesting
Speaker 4: how obviously Seattle's core has remained so similar. So there's
Speaker 4: that the whole team knows the seriousness of this rivalry
Speaker 4: in the Darby match, and the coach as well. You know,
Speaker 4: it really runs through the team. And it's interesting how
Speaker 4: Portland is sort of going through that transition now, especially
Speaker 4: as Diego char is probably on his last legs of
Speaker 4: his career, where that sort of core players that you remember,
Speaker 4: you know, the Valeris and and all these guys, it's
Speaker 4: sort of being phased out now and so it's gonna
Speaker 4: be interesting the next couple of seasons and even tonight,
Speaker 4: how do Portland, you know, managing these big games without
Speaker 4: sort of those those sort of you know, lifeblood of
Speaker 4: the club type players who are always have been integral
Speaker 4: for the last you know, decade or so of this club.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. We talked with Brian yesterday ashe
Speaker 3: Metzer and.
Speaker 2: One of the fun questions that I asked him was
Speaker 2: do you have a former Timbers player that you hated
Speaker 2: coaching against or playing against the most? And he named
Speaker 2: a bunch of different guys. He named, of course Will
Speaker 2: Johnson and stands out obviously for any Sounder fans. He
Speaker 2: talked about Gavin Wilkinson back in the day and back
Speaker 2: when Danny Jackson was playing the strategy that was involved
Speaker 2: in making him mad Steve Clark. You know. He also
Speaker 2: talked about when he was young. He remembers taking a
Speaker 2: bust down to Portland in the middle of the day
Speaker 2: for a game against the Timbers reserves when he was
Speaker 2: eighteen years old. He said, those early games were hard
Speaker 2: heart games, bloodbaths, and you know, those reserve games where
Speaker 2: players wanted to prove that they belonged. The intensity has
Speaker 2: been there, Shane, throughout the years. And I imagine that
Speaker 2: when you arrived in Seattle, when you arrived in Seattle.
Speaker 3: Then having the experienced this rivalry for the.
Speaker 2: First time, that natural hatred that all players wearing the
Speaker 2: rape green must have in these games, you do got
Speaker 2: a manufacture if you aren't from here, and then a
Speaker 2: lot of players aren't from here, you do got to
Speaker 2: manufacture that fire and that hatred for these games.
Speaker 4: Well, the cool thing about this game that is so
Speaker 4: unique to you know, this league, is there's history. There's
Speaker 4: real history in this game. And that's what's really unique
Speaker 4: about it. You know, people talk about l TRAFFICO or
Speaker 4: all these and it's like that game. How's talking about
Speaker 4: manufacturing exactly exactly what I'm talking about here. You feel
Speaker 4: the history of the club, but that is that goes
Speaker 4: through the whole club in all aspects. It's not just
Speaker 4: this game. But obviously this game is sort of a
Speaker 4: culmination of that for both clubs, and you feel that
Speaker 4: history and so you know that this is this is
Speaker 4: a real Darby match.
Speaker 2: Well, let me just give you that history right now
Speaker 2: while we're on the subject. I was gonna wait, but
Speaker 2: let's just get this right now, because I will mention
Speaker 2: Vancouver's already one Cascadia Cup. That's over, that's done with.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't take anything away from this game here tonight.
Speaker 2: Overall in MLS play, this thing is even in MLS
Speaker 2: play fifteen, fifteen and eleven since Porland joined MLS. The
Speaker 2: all time record, though, this is what you're talking about,
Speaker 2: the history, the all time record dating back to the
Speaker 2: mid seventies, Seattle is on top fifty seven forty seven nineteen.
Speaker 2: Let's expand that. Let's get win number fifty eight here tonight.
Speaker 2: I will also mentioned the last time these two teams
Speaker 2: played was back on May seventeenth to Providence Part where
Speaker 2: Albert Rusnek scored in the thirtieth minute in a.
Speaker 3: One to one drop. All right, let's get a break
Speaker 3: here on the premat show. We'll come back.
Speaker 2: We'll give you our players to watch. We're gonna hear
Speaker 2: from Paul Rothrock as well. We still have to get

Speaker 1: You're listening to the home of Saunders FC, Seattle's Sports
Speaker 1: Radio nine fifty KJR.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Luminfield and the Providence, Swedish prematch show.
Speaker 2: Jackson Felts, Shane O'Neil counting you down to kick off
Speaker 2: before Danny, Stephen Michelle have the game here for you
Speaker 2: on Sports Radio nine to fifty KGr AM.
Speaker 3: In a moment, we will hear from.
Speaker 2: Paul Rothrock an interview that I did earlier a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago at training talking about this sound Timbers rivalry.
Speaker 2: But before we hear it from Paul Rothrock, let's get
Speaker 2: some Sounders players to watch.
Speaker 3: Shane, who are you looking for tonight?
Speaker 4: I'm really interested to see how Pedro del Vega does
Speaker 4: you know, obviously he's been dealing with that little bit
Speaker 4: of knee todonitis. Obviously in that league's Cup run he
Speaker 4: was instrumental and he was absolutely electric, especially in one
Speaker 4: on one situations, his bursts of speed to get away
Speaker 4: from defenders. So I'm really curious how how is that
Speaker 4: looking now? You know he's had a couple of weeks
Speaker 4: van the shelf getting reintegrated. Now how does he look
Speaker 4: with that sharpness and that's trying to speed?
Speaker 2: Certainly have to be curious about that level for Pedro.
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see about Albert Rusnak on he's playing
Speaker 2: next to Christian Rolldon in that holding midfielders slot that
Speaker 2: typically Obed Vargas is in. Obed's away with Mexico at
Speaker 2: the U twenty World Cup. So for Albert rusnak how
Speaker 2: much does he stay? How much does he go? Because
Speaker 2: he's gonna want to get up the field a lot.
Speaker 2: I think him play next to Hayes Ferreira play aggressively,
Speaker 2: playing more towards than usual in spot that he is
Speaker 2: in up a line, so he's gonna want to do that.
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how much Albert.
Speaker 2: Does that versus behaves a little more like oh, but
Speaker 2: where he does stay back a little bit on the
Speaker 2: defensive end, especially when Portland has the ball, So his
Speaker 2: spacing and his positioning and his decision making of when
Speaker 2: to go. I'm really interested to watch that today from
Speaker 2: Albert Rusnak Now. Paul Rothrock is of course another player
Speaker 2: to watch in this game, and a couple days ago
Speaker 2: I had the chance to go talk to Paul, who
Speaker 2: started this conversation by talking about coming out of the
Speaker 2: two to two draw against the white Caps.
Speaker 10: I think the last two games especially have been frustrating
Speaker 10: because I feel like we've played better than maybe the result.
Speaker 4: Showed. But I thought there were some positives.
Speaker 10: Like you said, I thought our intensity in the game
Speaker 10: was a bit better, and you know, I think people
Speaker 10: who were watching that game and we're in the stadium,
Speaker 10: it felt a bit more like a playoff game, and
Speaker 10: I definitely felt like we matched them, if not had
Speaker 10: some of the better moments of the game. And yeah,
Speaker 10: still giving up some sloppy goals and we've we've got
Speaker 10: to we've got to.
Speaker 5: Clean that up.
Speaker 10: But I think the response from having two guys get
Speaker 10: injured in the first half was good, and then the
Speaker 10: response to the goal. You know, we scored almost immediately
Speaker 10: off of both kickoffs, and I think the the chat
Speaker 10: this week has been just how can we how can
Speaker 10: we bottle up that energy a bit more and and
Speaker 10: carry that forward and and see that more consistently with us?
Speaker 10: You know, I think we were better once they scored
Speaker 10: on us. We were better once we scored that goal
Speaker 10: as well. So how can we bring that intensity throughout
Speaker 10: the majority of the game.
Speaker 3: Well, you just mentioned Portland, there is somebody from here.
Speaker 23: What are your feelings on the Portland Timbers.
Speaker 10: I'm excited for this game, I'll say that. And I've
Speaker 10: never been a big Portland fan. These games you know
Speaker 10: lot to me, And yeah, I don't want to use
Speaker 10: any expletives on the expedives on on on live camera,
Speaker 10: but I'm really excited to play those guys.
Speaker 3: And you definitely dont want to give money Bolton board material.
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny. They definitely get up for these games.
Speaker 2: They treat them like the super Bowl. You guys play
Speaker 2: in a lot of finals. Is the energy sort of
Speaker 2: like that? Can you compare it all as another big
Speaker 2: game on your calendar?
Speaker 10: I think it's a massive game. I think last weekend
Speaker 10: gave us a taste for what it's what it's going
Speaker 10: to feel like. I think there's going to be even
Speaker 10: more just because it's Portland and it's a good time
Speaker 10: for a game like this for us to change the
Speaker 10: mojo a little bit and get us going.
Speaker 9: You're playing Portland.
Speaker 3: I guess what would you rather score at.
Speaker 2: Home, in front of your own fans or in their
Speaker 2: house to shut up their fans.
Speaker 10: That's a good question. I haven't scored against Portland yet,
Speaker 10: so with Dream Scenery ending their season in a ninety
Speaker 10: is minute Winter.
Speaker 2: Rock, I would be a dream for him to score
Speaker 2: a winner in the ninetieth minute tonight. Yeah, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: end their season, but boy a late goal to be
Speaker 2: the Timbers. We haven't beaten the Timbers here in this
Speaker 2: stadium in quite a while. Would love for that to
Speaker 2: happen here tonight. Sounder Dan's down on McDonald's Up to

Speaker 2: face off in the one hundred and twenty fourth occasion
Speaker 2: of Seattle Portland in soccer.
Speaker 3: This rivalry which dates back so many.
Speaker 2: Decades, five decades in fact, and here we go again
Speaker 2: for this best rivalry in American soccer.
Speaker 3: Before we get you to kick.
Speaker 2: Off with Danny Stephen, Michelle Shane, what are your keys
Speaker 2: to this match?
Speaker 4: Defensively, it's all about containing Christopher Veld. He's a new
Speaker 4: player from the summer, but he is the guy Norwegian
Speaker 4: coming over from the Greek league. And you know, obviously
Speaker 4: the last few years Portland have had a key guy
Speaker 4: a Vander before that, Diego Blarry.
Speaker 6: He is the key guy.
Speaker 4: You gotta shut him down offensively, Fluidity in their movements.
Speaker 4: Obviously with Russknack, de la Vega Ferrara, how can they
Speaker 4: get that interchanges in fluid movements to get Jordan in behind.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, it's funny you look at big soccer
Speaker 2: clubs around the world, especially Man City and the way
Speaker 2: they operate, having flexibility and fluidity when it comes to
Speaker 2: talented midfielders there. Certainly you know Christian Rolldon is going
Speaker 2: to stay and he's gonna do his job. But allowing
Speaker 2: Christian Albert Hayes, Who's to have that flexibility in the fluidity.
Speaker 4: That's gotta help absolutely, And obviously it's also it helps
Speaker 4: a lot to have guys who can play those splitting
Speaker 4: passes between the lines. That's what's gonna be really important,
Speaker 4: because you know, it's all well and good having.
Speaker 6: Dale Vega Ferrera rock Rock on.
Speaker 4: The pitch where you need guys who can get them
Speaker 4: the ball consistently, and having russneck and roll down back
Speaker 4: there is going to be really instrumental.
Speaker 2: And Jordan up top to feeding him for sure, and
Speaker 2: that's gonna be such a massive key.
Speaker 3: All Right, the first fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: This is a home game against a rival who wants
Speaker 2: to come in your house and jump you in the standings.
Speaker 2: Two points back are the timbers of the Sounders. How
Speaker 2: do you treat this first fifteen minutes to do the Sounders.
Speaker 3: Let's let's go on both ends. Start with defensively.
Speaker 4: How do you treat the first fifteen minutes defensively? Well,
Speaker 4: they kind of go hand in hand if I'm being honest. Okay,
Speaker 4: you want to go along. You want to get Jordan,
Speaker 4: you want to get Paul in behind, and you want
Speaker 4: to get the back line up and you want to
Speaker 4: make sure you're defending in there and put the pressure
Speaker 4: on them because obviously, at the end of the day
Speaker 4: they need these points to make the playoffs, so they're
Speaker 4: gonna be feeling a lot more pressure sure than Seattle is.
Speaker 4: So I would say play long, get the lines up,
Speaker 4: and make sure, especially with Kim and Jackson, a lot
Speaker 4: of communication there. Obviously, Jackson and yam Or have a
Speaker 4: great relationship. Make sure that communication is buttoned up early on.
Speaker 6: I love it all.

Speaker 29: Good evening Sounders fans from equc pitch here at Lumenfield
Speaker 29: where your Sounders face their art drival the Portland Timbers
Speaker 29: in this final Cascadia Cup game of the season.
Speaker 7: The Timbers currently sit in.
Speaker 29: Seventh position and have still got not confirmed their spot
Speaker 29: in the postseason. The odds are heavily favoring Poland to
Speaker 29: clinch a playoff berth, but there is still some work
Speaker 29: to do, and is Phil Neville continues to tinker with
Speaker 29: his lineup and formation he knows at one point Tonight
Speaker 29: solidifies their chance for an MLS Cup run for your Sounders,
Speaker 29: they qualified for another playoff run last week, their sixteenth
Speaker 29: postseason appearance in their seventeen years in MLS, but they
Speaker 29: are limping somewhat into October right now, winless in their
Speaker 29: four games since their league's cup triumph. The players know
Speaker 29: a win against the Timbers is just what they need
Speaker 29: and it might just be the perfect time to play
Speaker 29: Portland to get back on track. It's the biggest game
Speaker 29: on the MLS calendar. It feels like playoff time in Luminfield.
Speaker 29: Tonight is one hundred and twenty fourth game between these
Speaker 29: great rivals.
Speaker 7: It's good versus Evil, It's Seattle and it's Portland.
Speaker 29: I'm Danny Jackson alongside former Sounders winger Steve zac Quan,
Speaker 29: who's played in a few these games over the years
Speaker 29: in his career, and Michelle Ludker down.
Speaker 7: On the sidelines.
Speaker 29: Before we get to Stephen Michelle for their initial thoughts,
Speaker 29: let's get you the delta. Starting for your Sounders, Stephen
Speaker 29: Fryin gole. Alex Rolldan will start in the right. He
Speaker 29: limps off last week through injury but has recovered.
Speaker 7: Kinky Heat will step in for Yama in that starting lineup.
Speaker 29: Jackson, Reagan knew Who, Christian Rolldan will play alongside Albert Rusnak,
Speaker 29: who drops a line as obed continues to play in
Speaker 29: the You twenty Youth World Cup, Paul Rothrock on the right.
Speaker 29: Jesus Ferrera will play in that ten Pedro Dolovitch gets
Speaker 29: a chance right back into this starting lineup on the
Speaker 29: left hand side, and then Jordan Morris up front for
Speaker 29: Portland and Phil Nevill crap owing gol a back, fourth Masquera,
Speaker 29: Simon Miller, Smith, Ayala and Peritis. In the middle of
Speaker 29: the park, Anthony DaCosta and Velder are playing. You're attacking
Speaker 29: three and then Kevin Kelsey up front and it will
Speaker 29: be Portland who will get the kickoff. Here Sounder's attack
Speaker 29: in their traditional left side as we're looking at it
Speaker 29: the north end in this first half, Portland attacking the
Speaker 29: goal to right the south end and here we go,
Speaker 29: big Cascadia.
Speaker 7: Cup game and it's all to play for Sounders. Need
Speaker 7: to win.
Speaker 29: Soda Portland. Steve zac Quani. How do the Sounders get
Speaker 29: three points?
Speaker 26: Yeah, they don't get much bigger than this, and I
Speaker 26: think for the Sounders you can field the energy of
Speaker 26: the proud use that to your advantage. It's been a
Speaker 26: bit of a load since the Least Cup triumph. But
Speaker 26: if ever there was a game a team to win
Speaker 26: and get us off kick started again, it's this opponent.
Speaker 26: Come out on the front, foot play fast, play forward
Speaker 26: early and often I think the Sounders really set themselves
Speaker 26: up for a good trance at three points tonight.
Speaker 29: It comes Portland in the cream kit. Sounders are playing
Speaker 29: in there saily sheet kit tonight, which is dark green
Speaker 29: with some flashes of teal across the shirts. As the
Speaker 29: ball goes down the left hand side and Smith attacking
Speaker 29: down the left aboard the left back just venturing.
Speaker 7: Forward into the channel.
Speaker 29: Good block out by Melick all On, good early test
Speaker 29: for him and his body as he comes back from
Speaker 29: that hit injury. The Brian Schmidtz said it was less
Speaker 29: serious than they initially thought. Came off in that first
Speaker 29: fifteen minutes alongside game on and it was a bit
Speaker 29: of a change for the sound It took a little
Speaker 29: bit of time to get back on track against Vancouver.
Speaker 29: As the Costa comes into the hole, ball flicks up
Speaker 29: on his hand.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a free kick for the Sounders.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 26: I think if you're a sound is henok at the
Speaker 26: Timbers team, you kind of know what to expect. They
Speaker 26: won't want to have much of the board. They're good
Speaker 26: on the board, but they're very happy to see possession.
Speaker 26: And Bran Schmets and my pregame chatter who told me
Speaker 26: the same. Look, we have got to have it off
Speaker 26: the board, but it's what we do. A bit can
Speaker 26: well be aggressive early and we're seeing that right now
Speaker 26: from Sounders.
Speaker 7: Here is a player that can unlock this.
Speaker 29: Back line and it's Sermon alongside Miller today Zuper rich
Speaker 29: Out there comes to Christian worldn called up for the
Speaker 29: US men's national team as Christian for this upcoming camp.
Speaker 29: You will leave after this game, miss the RSL game.
Speaker 29: So we lost for the Sounders, but definitely something's positive.
Speaker 29: The ball gets almost flicked in by Pharrera Lot slashing
Speaker 29: run by roth Rock behind the back four Paul able
Speaker 29: to snuff.
Speaker 7: It out and they come away with it on their
Speaker 7: left hand side.
Speaker 26: Yeah, and the Spanish mens, he's going very attacking today
Speaker 26: in the sense that you know he's trusting Albert Russknak
Speaker 26: by dropping him back a line next to Christian road
Speaker 26: On that allows him to get Pedro de la Vega Hey,
Speaker 26: sus Frere up and Albert Russknack or on the team
Speaker 26: at the same on the pitch at the same time,
Speaker 26: and it's gonna go through forever and Rusnick.
Speaker 5: They have to really figure out not take up the same.
Speaker 26: Lane the same spaces, can they when one's on the
Speaker 26: left hand side, can one be on the right hand side.
Speaker 6: Just really occupy those.
Speaker 26: Portland defensive midfielders because you don't both have to work
Speaker 26: in similar spaces, but you cannot occupy the same two spaces.
Speaker 29: And as Portland build it with some as you mentioned
Speaker 29: Sermon as a player that made his debut for Portland
Speaker 29: in the last home game against Portland, which not this
Speaker 29: time last year. It's Portland playing into the cost got
Speaker 29: some space top of the box, right hand side available
Speaker 29: as Moscao's course, scored some wonder goals against the sound
Speaker 29: at the top of the box. The Portland timers having
Speaker 29: now they float it out to the right hand side
Speaker 29: with my scared with clips it in towards the baxstick.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be too far for the assistant referees flag
Speaker 29: on this near so it goes up and for the
Speaker 29: first time this evening, we're gonna throw it down to
Speaker 29: Michelle Loveka.
Speaker 3: Good evening, Michelle, good evening you guys.
Speaker 30: Earlier this week we had a chance to talk with
Speaker 30: head coach Brian Schmitzer and we asked him about the
Speaker 30: preparation of his team and the messaging from the coaching
Speaker 30: staff to his squad getting ready for today's match, and
Speaker 30: he said, you know, they were a little bit more
Speaker 30: detailed oriented in training this week. They watched more film
Speaker 30: than usual, and he was a little bit more firm
Speaker 30: in the messaging. The biggest thing though, he pointed out
Speaker 30: about this rivalry is, yes, the Sounders have two more
Speaker 30: home games to close out this season, three games in total,
Speaker 30: where the Timbers only have two more opponents for the
Speaker 30: end of the year, the Sounders and then next they
Speaker 30: head to San Diego, and Brian Schmitzer would like nothing
Speaker 30: more than to be a part of ending the Timbers
Speaker 30: season for the year, and a loss tonight and a
Speaker 30: loss at San Diego would do that for Portland.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Michelle.
Speaker 29: Yet, Brian Schmetzer was definitely telling some stories in our
Speaker 29: production meeting and of course in his press conference yesterday,
Speaker 29: and he's been through many a game against Portland, but
Speaker 29: during my time, of course, twenty plus years ago, during
Speaker 29: his time as a young whipper Snapper playing back in
Speaker 29: the eighties of course, and now because of course cause
Speaker 29: the Timbers as head coach of the Sounders, and they
Speaker 29: mentioned that Horton.
Speaker 7: Timmers have had his number over the years. Sounders certainly
Speaker 7: have done well away.
Speaker 29: From home, but at home it's been a bit of
Speaker 29: a struggle against the Timbers.
Speaker 7: Steve.
Speaker 5: It's one of those stats that if I didn't read it,
Speaker 5: I would have believed it.
Speaker 26: I think it's been eight years Finish won a game
Speaker 26: here at home against his Portland Timbers stem and it's
Speaker 26: really shocking. But I think the reason is the way
Speaker 26: Portland have played historically is very good in transition and
Speaker 26: they've had you know, Valeria there for a long time.
Speaker 26: Of course, the Bastian blankle for a while. They've had
Speaker 26: finishers at the other end who've punished a Sounder seam
Speaker 26: that want to play on the front to when I
Speaker 26: play it open. So we'll see tonight if you've kind
Speaker 26: of learned from that for the Sounders, don't over possessed
Speaker 26: a Levs off two exposed and so I think the
Speaker 26: lesson's have been done. And you mentioned Timbers season on
Speaker 26: the line today. I think this is a massive.
Speaker 6: Game for both clubs and really free.
Speaker 26: A point, yes that's them well, but you kind of
Speaker 26: if you get three points, you really put a dent
Speaker 26: in the other side aspiration for the season.
Speaker 29: Yep, seventh position for the Timbers coming into today's game
Speaker 29: Sounders in fifth.
Speaker 7: It comes Jordan.
Speaker 29: Morris left cord of the box for the Sounders, wins
Speaker 29: the ball, brings it back to Ferrara's got some chance
Speaker 29: to play in that number ten spot with Albert Roznecks
Speaker 29: still in the field playing alongside Christian of course did
Speaker 29: that a couple of years ago. It goes into Jordan Morris,
Speaker 29: back to gold. It comes to La Vega on the six,
Speaker 29: it goes and it just scooped up in the airby
Speaker 29: big frame of sermon.
Speaker 7: Looked like come of the hand to strike by Ferrera.
Speaker 7: Sounders still have it.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be new whips it in Heady clear by
Speaker 29: Miller scored a wonder goal fro about twenty five thirty
Speaker 29: yards against Vancouver just a week or two ago in Vancouver.
Speaker 7: Won one tie for the Timbers.
Speaker 29: It was back to back Cascade games for Vancouver Wednesday Saturday.
Speaker 7: Last Saturday. Of course, the Sounders more goes in.
Speaker 29: Here's a good ball from Reagan just skips through and
Speaker 29: it was Alex rolled On coming off that right hand.
Speaker 7: Side and Crayper comes off his line and cleans it up.
Speaker 26: Yeah, but I like this balance from the Sounders where
Speaker 26: I've mentioned a couple of times you expect to have possession,
Speaker 26: but when can you go, Darren, when can you.
Speaker 5: Have hard runners in behind? We had it right there
Speaker 5: from Alex rod On.
Speaker 26: Great idea, but Jackson Reagan didn't quite put it off
Speaker 26: a bit too much in the way of the past.
Speaker 26: But if you want to see the sounds mixed up
Speaker 26: and because the Timbers are just waiting for you.
Speaker 5: To overpossessed and trying to catchy in transition.
Speaker 29: It was a long ball, just like the Sound is
Speaker 29: almost unlocked the attacking threat that Jordan, Morris and roth
Speaker 29: Rock can bring. But Paulard also look at the ball
Speaker 29: over the top as the Sound has held a high line,
Speaker 29: but it skipped through over the end line.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a goal kipe for Stephan Frye. The
Speaker 7: chance to answer is one hundred and twenty two clean
Speaker 7: sheets of.
Speaker 29: Course, before goes in flicked forward by Morris, well played
Speaker 29: by Morris. Now the ball comes into Christian, rolled on
Speaker 29: right hand side by Jordan.
Speaker 7: It comes Jeorde towards the end line, cuts the ball back.
Speaker 7: There's a sliding Smith.
Speaker 29: He's asking for a handball, This says the referee on
Speaker 29: the far side.
Speaker 7: We're just ten yards away or so.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be a corner kick unless the referee get
Speaker 29: something in his airpiece. But we'll take the corner kick
Speaker 29: right now. First chance from a set piece for the Sounders.
Speaker 26: They had some good outside run by Jordan Morris there,
Speaker 26: Christian slips them in. I was kind of hoping Jordan
Speaker 26: would maybe try to lift that cross there.
Speaker 5: We're seeing a replay now and it's our first look
Speaker 5: at it. I think that'd be.
Speaker 26: A harsh call if given there defindage of sliding gets
Speaker 26: a good block on it. But Jordan Morris is trying
Speaker 26: to play across the gold from that proximity. Maybe you
Speaker 26: lift one to the back post, give your players a
Speaker 26: chance to attack with a head up. But as it
Speaker 26: is no review, no check. Will be a corner kick
Speaker 26: for the Sounder.
Speaker 7: It almost felt like he wasting hours.
Speaker 5: Very House had to pause because it looked like he
Speaker 5: was coining for v But it'll be a corner kick
Speaker 5: for our.
Speaker 29: But it will be a corner kick from the Sounders
Speaker 29: right outswinger the right foot of Albert rous And one I'm.
Speaker 7: Up in the air.
Speaker 29: Now it's drilled into the nearest post, headed clear by Portland,
Speaker 29: picked up by rolled On.
Speaker 7: Now you knew who just a little turned away.
Speaker 29: From fresh from Belder the new signing from Olympia Kosts
Speaker 29: signed in August Norwegian International. It's a good impression so
Speaker 29: far as the ball goes in Delvega top.
Speaker 5: Of the box.
Speaker 7: As a chat strikes, he's saying it's.
Speaker 29: A handboard, just screwed up on his hand and he
Speaker 29: was trying to bring it down off his chest Dela Vega,
Speaker 29: but came off that left hand side and had a
Speaker 29: chance to.
Speaker 7: Bring it down and shoot. But you free kick for
Speaker 7: poland they get us underway.
Speaker 26: Yeah, it's a different dynamic only Dela Vega there, I
Speaker 26: think you know, I mean missing the past few weeks
Speaker 26: had such a good summer and you can see sort
Speaker 26: of the quality for no We've been waiting for a
Speaker 26: while since he ever signed. But this season really in
Speaker 26: that middle stretch was a big part of the reason
Speaker 26: why this sound of season really turned around and was
Speaker 26: headed towards where I said it.
Speaker 5: Now, now back in there, we'll see how fit he
Speaker 5: is for today.
Speaker 26: But he does give you just a different sort of
Speaker 26: quality on the left hand side, and he's made a
Speaker 26: good start to the game so far.
Speaker 29: Yeah, bright, refreshing as Dela Vega certainly had a chance
Speaker 29: to get a good preseason under his belt, got four
Speaker 29: goals in preseason, came off that preseason like.
Speaker 7: A house on fire.
Speaker 29: Smois goals in Concacat Champions Cup, and of course let's
Speaker 29: not forget that wonder goal probably one of the best
Speaker 29: goals you've seen at Lehman Field against Cruises, all in
Speaker 29: that seven year old drubbing and League's Cup mastertill finish,
Speaker 29: there comes Poland now can they break through the stubborn
Speaker 29: Sounders back line. So far, as the ball goes center,
Speaker 29: a great step by Jackson Reagan, clean on Belger, swins
Speaker 29: the ball, now look for pression, then just gives it away.
Speaker 29: Ball goes in, flicks away by Paradus, who's trying to
Speaker 29: clean things up. Dela Vega's showing short who just a
Speaker 29: lot of step home and maybe should have played it
Speaker 29: down the line, ask it for a foul as it
Speaker 29: gets wrapped up by Kelsey, flicks a ball clear. Jackson
Speaker 29: Reagan did the hard work and then just run himself
Speaker 29: into a bit of a dead end and pauland will
Speaker 29: have it.
Speaker 26: And that's one of the things as much a mess
Speaker 26: of recently is because at of the theme of they've
Speaker 26: been their own worst enemy and some of the goals given.
Speaker 26: I think if some of the balls in Miami, obviously
Speaker 26: in Austin, big mistake there as well, just sort of
Speaker 26: like team's aren't really breaking them.
Speaker 5: I'm not having to work too hard.
Speaker 26: So if you clean up some of the defense of
Speaker 26: the deficiencies, some of these no one point games or
Speaker 26: games that we're losing do a turn into three points.
Speaker 5: But you could can't take too many chances back there
Speaker 5: because you will be punished at this level.
Speaker 29: Tenth minute here Lumingfield Cascadia match up biggest rivals in
Speaker 29: MLS Portland Sounders.
Speaker 7: Nil nil on Sports Radio KJR.
Speaker 29: Or goes into the middle, little pressed by the Sounders
Speaker 29: Portland break that press. Now they have it on the
Speaker 29: left hand side with Smith to Anthony, who has been
Speaker 29: a rich vein of formist.
Speaker 7: What's flicked for by DeCosta. Here comes Smith towards the
Speaker 7: end line well read by Jackson Reagan.
Speaker 29: It's a little run by Velda is asking for maybe
Speaker 29: some kind of handball and much off it jumped up
Speaker 29: and it was cleared by Jackson. Good defending so far
Speaker 29: by Jackson. He's been solid reading the play. He's very
Speaker 29: much in control of his game, and he's gonna have
Speaker 29: to be even with Kim kihe and all the experienced
Speaker 29: Kim has, He's gonna have to be the leader back there,
Speaker 29: and he's started to put that on his shoulders.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're absolutely right, Daniel.
Speaker 26: I think Jackson he's really grown into that role and
Speaker 26: he's had to roll even more.
Speaker 5: Kim is not the first choice at this point.
Speaker 26: It is Jackson Reagan and so without yeahday he's got
Speaker 26: to take you.
Speaker 5: This ship role. I think it's a big, big test
Speaker 5: for him.
Speaker 26: He's obviously had a fantastic season again, but tonight act,
Speaker 26: you're not expecting that in a big playoff game, first
Speaker 26: choice that Kim he would be in there, it would
Speaker 26: be Jackson Reagan. And so I said, good test of
Speaker 26: not just playing well for himself but leading a backlund,
Speaker 26: which is a whole different board game.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 29: Tonight's match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment
Speaker 29: capital of the Northwest.
Speaker 7: Go Sounders. Sounders are able to tip sing out of
Speaker 7: the game.
Speaker 29: Somewhat that was spoken about with Phil Nevill and bryansch
Speaker 29: match without just having ice in your veins. As Phil
Speaker 29: Neville mentioned in his press conference, it's been in many
Speaker 29: a derby during his time and Manchester United as a player,
Speaker 29: and of course Everton as well, so Merseyside Derby, Manchester
Speaker 29: Derby of course, and sure he's spoken about that during
Speaker 29: his build up to this game for his young team.
Speaker 29: All goes over the end line. It's gonna be a
Speaker 29: goalkick for Portland down to our left, of course. A
Speaker 29: big weekend for sports in the Seattle region started off
Speaker 29: so well. The Huskies football coming from twenty zip behind
Speaker 29: against Maryland out the East Coast and somehow.
Speaker 7: Clawed that back.
Speaker 29: Guts and persistence as head coach of the husk is
Speaker 29: mentioned in his presser as well, just talked about the
Speaker 29: resilience of his team on twenty four to twenty on
Speaker 29: the road to their.
Speaker 7: First ten win on the road.
Speaker 29: Of course, next door to us, Mariner is playing in
Speaker 29: the first game of the playoffs. Huge course for the Mariners.
Speaker 29: Busy afternoon around here.
Speaker 7: Forty plus thousand next door looks like a fort to.
Speaker 29: A full house here as well for the Portland Sounders
Speaker 29: games mentioned three for both clubs tonight.
Speaker 7: But as we get sound the real business end of the.
Speaker 29: Season, Steve, if we look at a run in RSL
Speaker 29: is a makeup game because it was rescheduled due to
Speaker 29: that league's cup final, and then of course going on
Speaker 29: the road to New York and that kind of strange
Speaker 29: East versus West matchup for the last game of the season.
Speaker 7: Sounds are solidified it.
Speaker 29: But they can certainly solidify their fifth spot with a
Speaker 29: couple of good results the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: YEA, two home games.
Speaker 26: I think if you're coming into this stage of the season,
Speaker 26: it's very much in your hands of how high you
Speaker 26: want to finish at this point, two of them at home,
Speaker 26: you've got to feel confident, You've got to feel good
Speaker 26: about teeth in the Sounders. Of course you mentioned the
Speaker 26: extra thing. He'll be able to kind of put a
Speaker 26: dent in Poland's home. But funny South Sounders tonight's absolutely
Speaker 26: must win, I think just for mo mentum and morale
Speaker 26: and definitely definitely get a club.
Speaker 7: Turn out of pressure. I knew who is pressed on
Speaker 7: his back line.
Speaker 29: Eventually gets some pressure for Kelsey and it goes all
Speaker 29: the way back to step Friend fry.
Speaker 7: Jackson Reagan at square across the kid Key.
Speaker 29: He of course even the match between these clubs fifteen
Speaker 29: to fifteen and eleven mls, but Sounders have the benefit
Speaker 29: of four wins and the total one hundred and twenty
Speaker 29: three games leading up to this one hundred and twenty
Speaker 29: fourth game between these clubs.
Speaker 7: Scrawldar tries to slip it through and it's picked up
Speaker 7: now quickly by Pawland on the left hand. Signer is
Speaker 7: du Coss striding forward, knows when sound has committed numbers.
Speaker 29: Now they have to retreat it get back behind the
Speaker 29: boards defense Stephan Fryer's goal and they did a good
Speaker 29: job as they hold the top of the box, forced Portland.
Speaker 7: To go back.
Speaker 29: Ayala plays it into Anthony mentioned seven goals his campaign
Speaker 29: so far, cho as a regular free again just a
Speaker 29: little giveaway by kim Key even picked up now by Farrera.
Speaker 29: Good one touch ball down the line rock Rock has
Speaker 29: as he breaks through on that right channel, cuts in
Speaker 29: sign got some time and space.
Speaker 7: Looking up plays at square.
Speaker 29: It's near signe to as the soundersch the goal to
Speaker 29: our left, brust neck counseling, scroll rolls it into Perrera,
Speaker 29: Oh black and run by.
Speaker 7: Rolled on, It comes, rolled on towards.
Speaker 31: The end lighte the Vega scores for the Sounders. He's
Speaker 31: back in the line up, back on the score sheet,
Speaker 31: and the Sounders.
Speaker 12: Are right where they want to be.
Speaker 31: One nil up against the Timbers.
Speaker 5: Wow, what team gold, What team gold?
Speaker 6: De La Vega's gonna get older credit here.
Speaker 5: But this is as good as it gets from a
Speaker 5: team perspective. Heyces Frearro all over it. In the end,
Speaker 5: lovely little possible. Alex Rodin, who gets there, makes a
Speaker 5: wonderful cotback and then a.
Speaker 26: Vega on his return from close.
Speaker 6: Race could make no mistake and give these.
Speaker 26: Fans somebody to cheer about. Is it deserve these from
Speaker 26: the Sounders who made a good start here?
Speaker 5: It was such a good team goode one nil.
Speaker 29: Well, as the Sounder celebrate and they walk back into position,
Speaker 29: we're gonna throw it down to Michelle.
Speaker 18: What a way to get back into the mix.
Speaker 30: For Pedro delav he has missed the last four matches
Speaker 30: out with ten nighters in his knee. That is his
Speaker 30: fourth goal of the season. He's was hoping to get
Speaker 30: back in the game against Vancouver, but after a couple
Speaker 30: of injuries and early substitutions, he wasn't able to get
Speaker 30: any minutes. So definitely are positive here to see for
Speaker 30: him as he's seeing his first minutes in over four matches.
Speaker 7: Thanks Michelle. Yes, three goals in League's Cup.
Speaker 29: That was his fourth goal in MLS regular season. He
Speaker 29: just gets involved with Mosquerra Colombian against Argentinian right there.
Speaker 7: Matchup, but Steve.
Speaker 29: Fidela Vega to get back on the score sheet, to
Speaker 29: be involved.
Speaker 7: You'd mentioned he'd looked right starting.
Speaker 29: This game and we're just over fifteen minutes into it,
Speaker 29: but he's been involved a couple of different times.
Speaker 7: White plays right time.
Speaker 26: Yeah, you just think for the sound is to be successful,
Speaker 26: which key guys really have to find their very best form.
Speaker 26: And he's in a top of the list because you
Speaker 26: saw what he adds during Leeds. Carpaid very well of moments.
Speaker 5: That he did have. But I think for President Vega,
Speaker 5: it's when he's.
Speaker 6: Flying, when he's getting touch. He's a different player than you've.
Speaker 5: Been at any stage of his career and the Sounder
Speaker 5: so far and then getting a goal like that in
Speaker 5: this kind of game would do. Wonders what he's confidence.
Speaker 29: Yeah, I'm just looking down kim Ky heat after the
Speaker 29: sound has scored, was stretching out his calf. We know
Speaker 29: that he's had some issues with the calf that's been
Speaker 29: It's caused him to miss games throughout the season. It
Speaker 29: doesn't look particularly comfortable. We're sort of jogging across this
Speaker 29: near side, a little bit.
Speaker 7: Of a limb in his gait.
Speaker 29: Who cuts the ball away from Felder crossed the half
Speaker 29: way down this near sight now rolls into Jordan and
Speaker 29: picks up by Della Veg and knocks down the line.
Speaker 7: Someon's going to roll it back to cray Poe.
Speaker 29: A little bit firm in that bad pass forces craypo
Speaker 29: to launch it long picked up by the Sounders.
Speaker 7: Now can the Sounders really get a grip of this game?
Speaker 29: We're seeing the Sounders go up goals but conceded soon thereafter.
Speaker 7: And Steeve, you and I have been on a cause before.
Speaker 29: We said the first five minutes after this goal is
Speaker 29: so important.
Speaker 7: Somehow the Sounders don't listen to us.
Speaker 26: Yeah, my mind is going right there is This next
Speaker 26: five is going to be so key. You've got expect
Speaker 26: a bit of a responsible Portland. I think Field never
Speaker 26: has been up off his bench ever since that boat
Speaker 26: barking instructions trying to get he seemed going you're gonna
Speaker 26: expect a bill for response. Is how can you manage that?
Speaker 26: The emotion of trying to get a second and really
Speaker 26: stick the knife in, but it also to stick being
Speaker 26: happy with one nil and kind of finding control over
Speaker 26: the game. But the sound is so far it's been good,
Speaker 26: says the sounders have scored if had the board India
Speaker 26: tech and half which is where you want it, and
Speaker 26: just got pick the right time to slow the game
Speaker 26: down and then find you more miss to attack.
Speaker 29: Kim Key is just gonna hold back here, I think,
Speaker 29: just to con serve himself somewhat. As we mentioned, get
Speaker 29: to Michelle and a second. Maybe Michelle's got a bit
Speaker 29: more information, But the boy's gonna get clip towards the
Speaker 29: back set towards Jacks egg and hits it down and
Speaker 29: bounces right in front of Cray posim to gather it
Speaker 29: up as he tries to look for some options playing
Speaker 29: out of the back. We're gonna throw down to Michelle.
Speaker 30: Yes, kim Ky, he is starting tonight his tenth starts
Speaker 30: this year for the Sounders out of his fifteen appearances
Speaker 30: in for Yamar, who will be out for the next
Speaker 30: four weeks with a hamstring injury. Branchmetzer is saying that
Speaker 30: he was confident and Kim taking a start today. You
Speaker 30: have to remember he was a starter in eighteen and
Speaker 30: nineteen when he was with his first stint with the Sounders.
Speaker 30: He only missed one regular season start in those two years.
Speaker 30: But I do want to know for the last ten
Speaker 30: minutes or so that Jonathan Bell and Kilanie Coosa Rienzi
Speaker 30: have been warming up, which is unusual for this time
Speaker 30: of a match. We're keeping eyes to see if there's
Speaker 30: any more movement.
Speaker 7: There hasn't been any indication.
Speaker 30: Other than them warming up, but we could maybe potentially
Speaker 30: expect something soon.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks Michelle.
Speaker 29: Of course you mentioned last week it was two players
Speaker 29: who had to get subbed down the first fifteen minutes,
Speaker 29: and Yamar and Alex rolled on.
Speaker 7: But here come the Sounders.
Speaker 29: As Ferrera connects eventually with Jordan Marris's bull's gonna get
Speaker 29: flicked in, blocked out by Smith Rothar asking him for
Speaker 29: a hand balls. The ball goes out in the far
Speaker 29: side it's gonna be a sound as throw. And yes,
Speaker 29: we looked to our right hand side as Kilanie and
Speaker 29: Bell continue to get warmed up. See if I would
Speaker 29: imagine it's more of a lightful od switch with Belle. Yes,
Speaker 29: you have to slide Jackson across to the right from
Speaker 29: his left spot, but you know, Klannie could go in
Speaker 29: and Alex could maybe slide in. He's played there once
Speaker 29: or twice.
Speaker 7: But what do you think?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think look at how the goal came.
Speaker 6: Alex assists.
Speaker 26: I think he's given you a lot in an attack
Speaker 26: of sense right now, and dot think Jonathan Bell has
Speaker 26: ever put a foot rung when he's been caught upon.
Speaker 5: That's the obvious choice is to bring on Bell.
Speaker 26: And maybe, yeah, you slag Jackson a bit, don't convince
Speaker 26: him a little bit. I think it's just less adjustment
Speaker 26: in that way, having to put Alex at center back,
Speaker 26: which he did, well, just lose what he's given you
Speaker 26: so five minutes.
Speaker 5: He's been a very good start to the game.
Speaker 29: He certainly has assist for Della Vega, and here's Gore
Speaker 29: early on. Here as we take towards the twenty minute mark,
Speaker 29: just perhaps the twenty million mark, I should say sound
Speaker 29: is leading one goal to.
Speaker 7: In Ill against the Tien.
Speaker 29: But here comes to Delaveaga, goalscorer flicks it intervals with
Speaker 29: us and that ball bounces around, eventually scurries through to
Speaker 29: Craper who quickly rolls it out to DaCosta, who has
Speaker 29: been lively.
Speaker 7: In these first twenty minutes or so for Portland.
Speaker 29: Here's a new signing for Phil Neville, Portuguese DP from
Speaker 29: long In, France, signing the pre season just before the
Speaker 29: season kicked off in February.
Speaker 7: So Phil Nevil's had some established players.
Speaker 29: Of course, Miller came from Miami, where Phil Nevill coached
Speaker 29: before its stint now here in the Pacific Northwest. But
Speaker 29: Chara in a lifeblood of this franchise, certainly in Portland
Speaker 29: Timber Sounders games.
Speaker 7: He's been ever present.
Speaker 29: He's on the bench as he comes towards the twilight
Speaker 29: of his career.
Speaker 7: And they come as sound as pressed they almost went off.
Speaker 29: Ayalo eventually scurries through and finds the ball to Da
Speaker 29: Costa did actually quite well getting out of pressure there.
Speaker 7: And here comes Velder with the ball right corner of
Speaker 7: the box.
Speaker 29: Support is Moscow and drops it back to Velder comes
Speaker 29: across square or cut with his left foot, now rolls
Speaker 29: towards the endline.
Speaker 7: Miscommunication goes off the end line.
Speaker 29: The crowd like that, it's gonna be a goalkick sound
Speaker 29: as leave one milk.
Speaker 26: Yeah, I think we haven't seen too much attacking west
Speaker 26: on the Portland Timbers here. That's the Sound has got
Speaker 26: back really well defensively inter the block very quickly.
Speaker 5: It's what you've got to be wary of.
Speaker 26: By open twenty two to twenty three minutes here schmess
Speaker 26: and he's I've got to be very very happy with
Speaker 26: what they've seen so far.
Speaker 29: Yeah, four game windless streak. As we've mentioned coming out
Speaker 29: of League's Cup. As it seems like Frony mentioned the
Speaker 29: Sound has happened won here in Seattle in an MLS game.
Speaker 29: So it's twenty seventeen, but they have gone on the
Speaker 29: road and won six times since that last win for
Speaker 29: the Sound is here, so they've had no problem going
Speaker 29: to Providence Park and getting results.
Speaker 7: We can remember some of those games and goals. Of
Speaker 7: course over the years.
Speaker 29: You can go back a little bit further to Steazac
Speaker 29: Corney's time in both sets of shirts.
Speaker 7: I should add.
Speaker 29: Ball goes down little step over by and the top
Speaker 29: of the box to Timbers, and Velder tries to find
Speaker 29: some space to turn a strike. Good block by Jackson.
Speaker 29: RAI has been the right place, right time defensively already
Speaker 29: a couple of times in this game. As the ball
Speaker 29: goes back to Velder, you sign it from just a
Speaker 29: month ago as new that's a little weak new body's body,
Speaker 29: and it was good defending.
Speaker 7: Velder went down too easily.
Speaker 29: Assistant referee right next to the action puts up her
Speaker 29: flag and it's gonna be a free kick, but a
Speaker 29: little soft Yeah, knew.
Speaker 5: Who read him well?
Speaker 6: And this kind of gotta be game.
Speaker 5: You quite expect that kind of challenge out at least
Speaker 5: if you're calling those kinds of fouls, it's gonna be
Speaker 5: calling a lot of things around the evening.
Speaker 26: You who read Velder very well, try to give a
Speaker 26: little turn. Who shoved him a little bit?
Speaker 6: I don't think it's a foul.
Speaker 26: But he gives the Timbers a great chance to put
Speaker 26: in a dangerous board from a set piece, and the
Speaker 26: Sounders now have to be very good defensively.
Speaker 29: Hill pet you get on this right hand side, it's
Speaker 29: gonna be Felder the new Man with his right foot
Speaker 29: just a couple of yards in from this near sideline,
Speaker 29: ten yards or so from the end line. Sound as
Speaker 29: a hold in the top of their six yard box.
Speaker 29: No movement yet with kim Key.
Speaker 7: He referee pulls it in.
Speaker 29: More goes in headed clear by now good head of
Speaker 29: the top of the box. Fines Moscuero just scoots a
Speaker 29: shot in. We've seen him strike the ball, of course
Speaker 29: from distance a couple of shots and similar range at
Speaker 29: Providence Park.
Speaker 26: I mean the shot comes in. Stephan Fry picks it up.
Speaker 26: Were twenty four.
Speaker 5: Minutes in and who takes off on the counter attack
Speaker 5: and listen.
Speaker 26: It's very entertaining to watch. But I don't think he
Speaker 26: needs to go one der up. Just take a shape,
Speaker 26: give Steph some time to get it bought out.
Speaker 7: He might give Brian more grey hair, so he just
Speaker 7: be a bit more gray hair. I don't need any
Speaker 7: of that help. Paul goes in to roll down deep
Speaker 7: on the right hand side, flick forward by kim Ky.
Speaker 29: He finds Ferrera well brought down by Ferrera striding across
Speaker 29: the half way like Jordan Morris holding his run de
Speaker 29: la Vega.
Speaker 7: To his left.
Speaker 31: Keep going forever strikes it out just over the top.
Speaker 31: It just opened up for him as the.
Speaker 3: Back four for Paul and.
Speaker 29: Backed off when they backed off, and eventually from about
Speaker 29: twenty three yards he took a shot, went over a
Speaker 29: goal kick.
Speaker 7: Sounders lead one nil see exact one.
Speaker 26: I think he's been the best play on the pitch Forerra.
Speaker 26: I think he's playing that number ten roll really well.
Speaker 26: He's been the bridge between the fence and attack. On
Speaker 26: that occasion, maybe could have slipped Jordan. I don't mind it.
Speaker 26: He drives, he's direct in the end, gets too much
Speaker 26: underneath it, but just the touch to bring it.
Speaker 5: Down and think about it up. It's not always gonna be.
Speaker 26: On a statue, but the things he does for this
Speaker 26: team attacking wise, it's really fun to watch. He's come
Speaker 26: into his own second off of the season and he's
Speaker 26: been He's proven to be a great signing she mets
Speaker 26: on before the game.
Speaker 6: Some players he had a change.
Speaker 5: Of scenery and he's a guy who had to get out.
Speaker 26: Of Dallas kind of roll and find him off as
Speaker 26: a man. He's done that here and what an addition
Speaker 26: he's been. He's been so good and it's open twenty
Speaker 26: five minutes, but he's been good for the last three months.
Speaker 7: Walkouts to his right inside to Moss.
Speaker 29: Squerer comes back to Hayala crafted left foot as he.
Speaker 7: Kills the ball to the far side. Anthony picks it
Speaker 7: up left one of the box, a little step.
Speaker 29: Over Paul Rofork doesn't fall for that one. Levin men
Speaker 29: behind the ball for the Sounders, they defend the top
Speaker 29: of the eighteen yard box, just stuck step out now
Speaker 29: as a Sounders put some higher press on the ball
Speaker 29: with Jamal Miller for Paul and Kazi. Paul goes into
Speaker 29: Kelsey Lit'll drop off to parade Us little step over.
Speaker 7: Belder picks it up, stumbles, doesn't win the free kick.
Speaker 7: Russneck's is going to drop the ball back. Has been
Speaker 7: quie the.
Speaker 29: Efficient so far as Rusneck golaying alongside rolled down mentioned
Speaker 29: his name to him times. But it's doing a good job,
Speaker 29: just kind of filling space the right times.
Speaker 7: The board goes over the top by Perrara. Little miscommunication
Speaker 7: and both those players have talked.
Speaker 29: About how much they've looked forward to playing together. Now
Speaker 29: they started to get some time on the field together.
Speaker 29: We've already seen the connections in the past couple of games.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this why it's time so important, because it
Speaker 6: takes time.
Speaker 26: To get on the same page. On that occasion. Jordan
Speaker 26: Morris comes short, Hey Houston's long. That just takes time
Speaker 26: on the training ground in match practice and you kind
Speaker 26: of find that riven. But two great players when they
Speaker 26: do get going, it's gonna add such a dimension to
Speaker 26: the sound as attack well.
Speaker 29: Tonight's match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment
Speaker 29: capital of the Northwest Coast. Sounders Stephan Fry has it
Speaker 29: it's gonna be a goal kick just in the middle
Speaker 29: of his six yard box twenty seven minute here at
Speaker 29: lumin Field Sports Radio KJR, of course mentioned Maren is
Speaker 29: playing next door to us, that the fans have found
Speaker 29: a way in the traffic and bedluck going around as
Speaker 29: part of the city is the ball gets clipped long
Speaker 29: as Sermon sees.
Speaker 7: It well, just cushes a header to Mosquera.
Speaker 29: Sounder is leading one nill and this score up and
Speaker 29: it is presented by eqc.
Speaker 7: Ian Smith has it fast side the left.
Speaker 6: For Portland.
Speaker 7: As a Sounder starts to find their way in they've
Speaker 7: been solids and scoring that gold.
Speaker 29: Della Vega opening the gut the game up with that
Speaker 29: really good incisive play down the right hand side.
Speaker 7: To cut back for Delaveaga in.
Speaker 29: The sixteenth minute and he just roofed the ball in
Speaker 29: the top of the net in.
Speaker 7: His first start for a number of weeks.
Speaker 29: It's that type of guile that the Sounders might need
Speaker 29: to unlock some teams to get to the business end
Speaker 29: of the season.
Speaker 7: Steve he just brings something a little bit different.
Speaker 5: He does he does all right.
Speaker 26: Then you think Pedro has a little bit extra quality,
Speaker 26: depends how fit he is, but you want to get
Speaker 26: him minute. You want to get him up to match sharp.
Speaker 26: And the same with Jordan Morris as well. You need
Speaker 26: those guys firing. You know what's happening around the league
Speaker 26: of teams that you think might win it off. The
Speaker 26: team of the Woman is lifc. They've got two.
Speaker 5: Guys who are at three on fire, So if you have.
Speaker 26: To go through them, you're gonna need the likes of
Speaker 26: Patrol and Jordan being at their very best.
Speaker 29: Yet, Son Bawanga, that's one two punch offensively in MLS
Speaker 29: right now, just playing They've played together for years and
Speaker 29: it comes new striding forward just where he wants to
Speaker 29: be attacking down the left hand side, makes his way
Speaker 29: into the Porland half of the field. Sounders then just
Speaker 29: turn it over and keep possession with Christian rolled on.
Speaker 29: Really good chance for Christian to make that square of
Speaker 29: twenty six. I would say in the summer, just able
Speaker 29: to play a position in the middle of the park.
Speaker 29: It's so important in today's game just to dictate and play,
Speaker 29: especially at the international level. You know, the games can
Speaker 29: sometimes slow down to be a real tactical affair.
Speaker 7: If you can organize.
Speaker 29: And you can also cover ground like Christian does and
Speaker 29: play the ball out and he just gives them all
Speaker 29: away away from pressure.
Speaker 7: Good step by Portland.
Speaker 29: Sounders pick it up though, with Jackson Reagan who's been
Speaker 29: efficient now on the back line as well.
Speaker 7: Sounders so far playing well.
Speaker 29: Bryan Schvetzer should be satisfied with his team's performance at.
Speaker 7: Least verse thirty minutes.
Speaker 26: Steve, you haven't been too troubled. No, Stephan Fry hasn't
Speaker 26: really been caught into action. I think since the ball
Speaker 26: the game's kind of settled down.
Speaker 5: It's not outright dominance. The Timbers are having some woman's.
Speaker 26: Coming forward, but yet to really penetrate that sound as
Speaker 26: back line and defending quite well, but maybe you're seeing
Speaker 26: a bit too much to a totally At the moment,
Speaker 26: you're gonna edge your line up a little bit and
Speaker 26: taking the game.
Speaker 7: It goes pauland know it's good cover by new.
Speaker 29: Kind a combination of Reagan and kim Kyhe just kind
Speaker 29: of bobble through them inside the eighteen yard box.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a goal kick. But now who read
Speaker 7: the danger really well.
Speaker 29: Came across, did just enough to put off the Bortland
Speaker 29: striker bar goes over goal kick.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's what gonna happen. You're defending well.
Speaker 26: If you keep allowing teams to come on top of
Speaker 26: you and keep attacking you, at some point things may
Speaker 26: break the win.
Speaker 5: Something can happen. And now o the Timbers getting inside
Speaker 5: the box In the end, not a great finish.
Speaker 26: The sound has recovered quite well, but a danger signs
Speaker 26: on there and at one nil definitely staid a dangerous situation.
Speaker 7: Referee just beckoning Fry and Jackson regan just to speed
Speaker 7: things up a little bit. As Fry gets the ball
Speaker 7: from Reagan and just drills it down.
Speaker 29: The sounds right hen side but it scoots past roth
Speaker 29: Rock picked up by smith Well sound as FC soccket
Speaker 29: is presented by prominent Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders,
Speaker 29: FC good Tea for today by the sound is Faithful
Speaker 29: down to South end a bit of a score up
Speaker 29: date before everybody on oh bed and the Mexican twenty
Speaker 29: national team two draws against Brazil and Spain. Morocco had
Speaker 29: beaten both those clubs, so Morocco is sitting on top
Speaker 29: of their table with six points. But Mexico manages to
Speaker 29: pull out a one nil win against Morocco today.
Speaker 7: They sat now in second position.
Speaker 29: Brazil just win the one point looking away by Russneck
Speaker 29: and then picks up by Jackson. There's to find the
Speaker 29: ball that breaks the line with Dela Vega goes away.
Speaker 7: It should have turned away and gone.
Speaker 29: Forward, but he goes back, just keeps the ball, drops
Speaker 29: the ball to rolled on, then gets it back from
Speaker 29: rolled down across the halfway line farst side the right.
Speaker 7: The Sounders have it with roth Rocks.
Speaker 29: Continues to play great Formers pulled roth Rock, solidifying his
Speaker 29: cult status with that goal third goal in the league's
Speaker 29: cup final, and he was asking for help down the
Speaker 29: left hand side, but everyone's kind of shifted across to
Speaker 29: the right as Delaveaga made his way.
Speaker 7: From left to right because Sound has maintained possession.
Speaker 29: Break the line now with Reagan drop by Alex rolled
Speaker 29: on to his brother Chris, who just gets away from
Speaker 29: trouble through the legs of paraders.
Speaker 18: The ball goes down the right hand side.
Speaker 31: Then a roth Rock get there and put the way
Speaker 31: he does across the six good defending. My Miller just
Speaker 31: took it off the toe of Morris, but the Sounders
Speaker 31: still have it on their right hand side with rolled
Speaker 31: on Flix towards the back stick, and there's Dela Vega across.
Speaker 31: It goes punched away by Cray po heading clear boy
Speaker 31: Smith finds Anthony.
Speaker 7: Blows down by Rolled on far side as we're looking
Speaker 7: at it.
Speaker 29: But Poland managed to work their way from pressure with
Speaker 29: Al who just clips with his left foot to this
Speaker 29: near side to Mosquero standing.
Speaker 7: Right in front of Phil Neville on the Portland bench
Speaker 7: and now they're gonna attack. Why the sound of stee Yeah, we.
Speaker 26: Have seen it too often, but there is another gear
Speaker 26: to the sound of team, especially on the right hand side.
Speaker 26: When Alex rode on overlaps hit times allows rough From
Speaker 26: to really push your head. The sam is gonna overload
Speaker 26: the left hand side and then find mismatches on our
Speaker 26: right hand side.
Speaker 5: It's where the gold came from. And now o casion
Speaker 5: across from rough Rock just cow just in time before
Speaker 5: Jordan Morris got there.
Speaker 26: But you do feel good because you see there is
Speaker 26: an extra gear. The game's sort of in neutral right now,
Speaker 26: but as Samas can't turn it on and the tiam.
Speaker 6: Is having a very hard time keeping up.
Speaker 29: When they do, something becomes Anthony now on top of
Speaker 29: the box has to flick it forward heading clear boys
Speaker 29: really works himself through the discomfort is obviously feeling with
Speaker 29: that half feels tight to him as continues to stretch
Speaker 29: it with the game. When the ball is away from him,
Speaker 29: all goes along. It's a pin iala. Now Sounders needs
Speaker 29: to me trying to get a grip of the game.
Speaker 29: With possession fifty to fifty, So farms in the Sounders
Speaker 29: and timber Sounders leave one nil more goes in more
Speaker 29: now played into the cost on the top of the
Speaker 29: box that's left foot all the same what a safe
Speaker 29: by fry.
Speaker 31: The Costa made his way into the eighteen yard box,
Speaker 31: snapshot with his left foot. It was heading into the net,
Speaker 31: and then it was frying flung himself to his left,
Speaker 31: strong left hand corner kick good as a goal, and.
Speaker 5: What's saying that is an unbelievable left hand. He gets
Speaker 5: to it and foys on for sure gold the cost
Speaker 5: of us well gets in the box, strikes it well
Speaker 5: to get that much of a pond behind it. If
Speaker 5: there were any question if thefil fries back, that's just
Speaker 5: been answer.
Speaker 7: What's the same, what's a say?
Speaker 29: Indeed, here comes falling down from the corner kick, it's
Speaker 29: gonna be elder towards the six headed clear. Now strike
Speaker 29: scoots through again, top of the box. It is with
Speaker 29: Sermont back to Mosquerra. They'll didn make it a running behind.
Speaker 7: It's gonna scoot.
Speaker 29: Through and assistant referee on this near side and Steve
Speaker 29: zach Quarney, I feel it at them, you're running down
Speaker 29: with her.
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm playing this game. But I also
Speaker 5: you mentioned the possession.
Speaker 26: I'm a bit surprised by that. Yeah, it's not being
Speaker 26: the dominant kind of fallout. They're just gonna sit back.
Speaker 26: I think Phil Neville might sense, Hey, our season's a
Speaker 26: bit we kind of pen on ha it's called.
Speaker 6: San Diego and needing something.
Speaker 26: We've gotta get all pay against them. We've got to
Speaker 26: get something done tonight. And now being a goal behind,
Speaker 26: I think there is some urgency because then even at
Speaker 26: least a point to kind of keep things interested for themselves.
Speaker 29: Well San Diego, yes they're in, but as a brand
Speaker 29: new franchise. Saint Louis did it a couple of years
Speaker 29: ago won the conference.
Speaker 7: San Diego right.
Speaker 29: Now with one game left against Portland, they sit on
Speaker 29: fifty seven points. Minnesota and sit ahead of them with
Speaker 29: fifty eight points, so there'll be lots to play for
Speaker 29: for San Diego.
Speaker 7: That's not just a throwaway game for them. They want
Speaker 7: to get a win and give themselves the best chance
Speaker 7: to win the conference. And they're in all your season
Speaker 7: in MLS, So that's not what pauland want to see.
Speaker 5: Not exactly, And it's why they're playing with the urgency.
Speaker 26: They're not just sitting back on for what they would
Speaker 26: do a little bit more on the front foot than expected.
Speaker 26: And I don't think they'll never will be two things
Speaker 26: and where all behind one or two upset because they
Speaker 26: Shone flashing a little bit glimpse to say, obviously forced
Speaker 26: the great save.
Speaker 5: I'll step and Fry, so they're very much fet in
Speaker 5: the skin.
Speaker 29: Kelsey tries to hook the ball from the right hand
Speaker 29: side of his left, but it's gonna scoop through to
Speaker 29: and they need about thirty yardsenal goal takes us Strikers
Speaker 29: skips in front of Fry, who goes to his right
Speaker 29: lets it go past. It's the advertising hoardings which the
Speaker 29: crash you heard. It's gonna be a goalkick for Sounders.
Speaker 29: But yes, pauland Timbers are just inching ahead in possession.
Speaker 29: They've got five shots and they'll be the sixth shot
Speaker 29: that they've taken. Only two of those on goal. But
Speaker 29: the Sounders have a four shots, one goal from those four.
Speaker 29: So Sounders will certainly look to try and pick out
Speaker 29: a little bit more possession in.
Speaker 7: The second and half.
Speaker 29: As we get to the final ten minutes of this
Speaker 29: first half, Sounders leading one nil. You know, an EQUC
Speaker 29: pitcher lumin Field you mentioned, Obed gets the result that
Speaker 29: he needs sound As we're maybe hoping that the team
Speaker 29: wouldn't do so great, and they get Obed back.
Speaker 7: But it's like he'll be saying a little longer down.
Speaker 29: In Chile for that U twenty World Cup Readbaker Whiting
Speaker 29: of course there as well.
Speaker 7: I've got great results so far. Will flips through as
Speaker 7: Smith looks like he pulled down Roth Rock's not.
Speaker 29: Saying anything the thirty three asand plus fans want to
Speaker 29: see some decision from the referee.
Speaker 7: But Rock Rock fell down, got back up.
Speaker 26: I think it's a tangle of legs, not really a
Speaker 26: foul dead six and one half dozen at the other
Speaker 26: death and you can always tell at.
Speaker 5: A first reaction not real a pill from rough Rock.
Speaker 6: It's a referee rng.
Speaker 29: Stition, right hand sight, good read again by New back winding.
Speaker 29: The sound has done a really good job reading the
Speaker 29: play Jackson has.
Speaker 7: Done a few times Kim Gehee and this time is New.
Speaker 5: Played very well.
Speaker 26: This club's success, the reason you has been built on
Speaker 26: the foundation of defending, and that's been in question this season,
Speaker 26: I think more so for personnel reasons.
Speaker 5: Haven't we had a stable.
Speaker 26: Back five when include the goalkeeper up out of the season,
Speaker 26: different players missing at various times again tonight also Yama,
Speaker 26: But again we're talking about the playoffs and you've got
Speaker 26: only a few chances now to really find you and
Speaker 26: get it right and defensively. Tonight at least the Sounders
Speaker 26: the setup has been very good, absorbed. A lot of
Speaker 26: pressure happened, allowed too much from the Timbers. Of course,
Speaker 26: the danger would always be there, but the Sounders can
Speaker 26: be very happy if they're opening thirty eight minutes or so,
Speaker 26: how they defend them as a group, and then the
Speaker 26: back four and goalkeeper in isolation as well.
Speaker 29: You have best defensive record in twenty three with thirty
Speaker 29: two goals against, tied with Nashville Lash years sitting their
Speaker 29: own with thirty five goals against this year forty seven
Speaker 29: goals against, so not quite as tight as it has been.
Speaker 29: Years have some uncharacteristic mistakes by the Sounders, as see
Speaker 29: second money mentioned a two minutes ago. Just those goals
Speaker 29: they've been giving up the wrong times and the wrong ways.
Speaker 29: The worst enemy at times, Mosco just gets in the
Speaker 29: face of Ferreira.
Speaker 7: Unnecessary by the Portland Timbers right back because the Winter's
Speaker 7: free kick. Farrera are just having a wood of the referee.
Speaker 7: Nothing there. Portland have it well.
Speaker 29: This copyrighting audio casts of Major League Soccer may not
Speaker 29: be retransmitted, reproducibor rebroadcast.
Speaker 7: Without the expressor and consent of Major League Soccer.
Speaker 29: You tick towards the end of this first half, Sounder
Speaker 29: is leading one nil and a packed house flags waving
Speaker 29: to our right.
Speaker 7: The north, then full all the way up to the top.
Speaker 29: For the Sounders and for the Timbers they've met a
Speaker 29: handful of times towards the back end of the season
Speaker 29: last year of course as well. You've seen the Sounders
Speaker 29: has mentioned struggle somewhat at home to get winning results
Speaker 29: against the Timbers, or so many memorable games, not just
Speaker 29: in MLS play, but US Open covers well, that red
Speaker 29: Card game where I think they're down to seven men
Speaker 29: by the end of that one, like the two fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 29: So there's been many a game in those one hundred
Speaker 29: and twenty three games prior to today that have given
Speaker 29: us memories.
Speaker 5: And I think you can speak it as well, Thos Rabies.
Speaker 26: That's really carried over no matter what league they're in, right,
Speaker 26: whether the Sounders are they're both in USL, the A League,
Speaker 26: Sounders an MLS dead. It's always felt like that, asked
Speaker 26: Branch since before the game. Is this still the one,
Speaker 26: he goes without question, this is still the one you
Speaker 26: wake up for, you got for, and the fans certainly
Speaker 26: in foot voice as well.
Speaker 5: Great to go from the timsaw has to be said.
Speaker 26: And I think the game has been a free flowing game,
Speaker 26: no nasty challenges, very kind of It's flown by really
Speaker 26: and the Sounders.
Speaker 5: Of course will be very happy that they're leading right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll just say you just mentioned about the fans.
Speaker 29: You know, when I think about this game, players come
Speaker 29: and go, coaches come and go, the fans are the same. Yeah,
Speaker 29: it's the fans kind of energy they bring to every
Speaker 29: single game down there in Providence Park as well, but
Speaker 29: here of course as well as is tonight. It's just
Speaker 29: a different feel when these two teams play against each other. Yeah,
Speaker 29: all goes down the right hand side, just gonna scoot
Speaker 29: over that endline for a Portland Gold kick. As we
Speaker 29: hit the forty minute mark. Five minutes to go, we'll
Speaker 29: see what the referee ads are.
Speaker 7: Not much to speak of. It's been a nice open
Speaker 7: game so far.
Speaker 29: Much of the game has been played in and around
Speaker 29: eighteen to eighteen yard boxes.
Speaker 7: A couple of shots on golf each team.
Speaker 29: But let's say Crapo and Fry, other than Fry's wonder
Speaker 29: save from that left hand, which is a sure goal
Speaker 29: how much to speak of to the Bland. But here
Speaker 29: they come down the right hand side now with Velder
Speaker 29: towards the endline.
Speaker 7: Good block by New through the legs.
Speaker 29: Of New, who's DaCosta has it right on the end
Speaker 29: line in front of the assistant referee on this near
Speaker 29: side Portland's right like around the corner by DaCosta ll
Speaker 29: scare keeps it going. There's a poor ball by Muscira,
Speaker 29: got it all wrong. Should have played it earlier or
Speaker 29: played it in himself.
Speaker 7: He didn't either. Over the end line it goes sound
Speaker 7: as lead one nil gold kick.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thankfully for the sound as he took the bad choice.
Speaker 5: That mustcarem. But I think if you'll never will be encouraged.
Speaker 26: The Timbers are attacking, the showing glimpses their final piece
Speaker 26: has yet to come. But just a little bit of
Speaker 26: concern for the sounds, just how easy they getting behind,
Speaker 26: even on the stephand side at times no one really
Speaker 26: beats me who won on one directly, but off the
Speaker 26: board runners runners in behind. It can cause problems, which
Speaker 26: it has so far and so good choice in.
Speaker 5: By Stephan Fried. He's gonna take a long goal kick.
Speaker 26: Just relieve the pressure, get aborting to the attack and
Speaker 26: half this edge our lineup and start playing more of
Speaker 26: the territoria game.
Speaker 5: Inside the Timbers half well.
Speaker 29: Head forward it comes rath Ug inside the eighteen, Gray
Speaker 29: Pop comes out of good save by Gray Pop.
Speaker 7: Della Vega has it towards the end line Rosa b.
Speaker 7: Moscaro and it.
Speaker 29: Goes headed clear boy sermon, good powerful header by the
Speaker 29: New Zealander, picked up now by the sounds.
Speaker 7: Good quick free by Della Vega. Vers next available inside
Speaker 7: the eighteen.
Speaker 29: Here's use And I tried to go through the likes
Speaker 29: of sermon cleared by the Boland central defender out on
Speaker 29: this near side for a sounder's throat. Good incisive played
Speaker 29: by the sounders. It was Rathwick just scurring himself through.
Speaker 29: It looked like a lost cause, but he got there
Speaker 29: first and Craiger had to.
Speaker 7: Make it safe.
Speaker 26: Yeah, and it's been three or four times when a
Speaker 26: sounder just turned up the notch and the timers can't
Speaker 26: live with it.
Speaker 5: I think for the sounders it's not been there enough.
Speaker 5: It's been a good half.
Speaker 26: Bump whut to add a final attacking, third change of
Speaker 26: pace getting multiple runners, dynamic attacking.
Speaker 5: Anytime that's happened, the Timers have really struggled.
Speaker 4: To keep up.
Speaker 5: On that occasion, be brought up by the goalkeeper.
Speaker 7: I almost got caught in trouble, but cleared by serving.
Speaker 29: Then a deflective ball by the cost that goes out
Speaker 29: on this near side for a Portland throwing well. September

Speaker 7: just delays itself as Oscare has to bank track.
Speaker 29: And now he's gonna throw it down. The line throws
Speaker 29: it up in the air, headed forward by Kelsey, but
Speaker 29: picked up by the sound as little ricochet off Kelsey
Speaker 29: again from Carrera.
Speaker 7: Now Smith comes down their left hand side, Anthony.
Speaker 29: Available fast side the left across the halfway and then
Speaker 29: he goes closed down by Roldan, who hasn't missed the
Speaker 29: beat so far back the lineup after concerned was that
Speaker 29: he might be out for a little while after come
Speaker 29: flipping off the first off last week against Vancouver, but
Speaker 29: he starts he must should.
Speaker 7: Be back for the playoffs.
Speaker 29: Aaul goes in to Anthony, guarded well by Kiffy, He
Speaker 29: who not like he was struggling somewhat, but looks a
Speaker 29: little fresher now as it's on the left hand side,
Speaker 29: all towards the end line. He goes to Smith, here's
Speaker 29: gonna clip it in with his left foot. Baul bounces around,
Speaker 29: almost collected by Felder. Scarre plays the ball in quickly
Speaker 29: turn away for pressure paraders.
Speaker 7: It comes roth Off making a run against Miller. It's
Speaker 7: got the run on Miller does rath rock well heavyer.
Speaker 29: The touch goes a little bit wide towards the end line,
Speaker 29: goes down by Miller now slowly down.
Speaker 5: It's a great ball.
Speaker 7: It was almost right on the foot of roll Don.
Speaker 7: It's good defending by Paradus. It's gonna be a corner
Speaker 7: kicks and the Sounders fans like that. Sleeves.
Speaker 6: That told, that's precky.
Speaker 26: He's off his feet, he's crapping as loud as anyone here.
Speaker 26: And that's poor rough Frock in a nutshell so industrious, great.
Speaker 5: Running off the board.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's touched a bit heavy, still rescues it, still
Speaker 6: makes something out of it.
Speaker 5: And as you said, putting a great board towards Christian
Speaker 5: Rodan in the end, just couldn't quite get there clear away.
Speaker 6: The Sounders have to.
Speaker 26: Settle for a corner kick, but finishing the half strung
Speaker 26: here as a seeker.
Speaker 29: Second ball, Sounders heavy worst night corner kick right hand
Speaker 29: side wake up date for next door to two Tigers
Speaker 29: Mariners at a second before the halftime break, headed clear
Speaker 29: both top of the box with rolled up. He said,
Speaker 29: I'm really well. This right foot scoots him back to
Speaker 29: a rossneck. Two minutes about it. Time to look down
Speaker 29: the fourth official. Sounders have it and kim kiehe can't
Speaker 29: give anything up now, giving up Lake goals in the
Speaker 29: first half and games in the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 29: so Sounds keep a bit tight in the locker room.
Speaker 29: They leave one nil off of Della Vega gold in
Speaker 29: the sixteenth minute.
Speaker 7: Here comes Rock Rocks just wriggles away needless foil by ayala,
Speaker 7: that's gonna if film never fits down there.
Speaker 29: It's give me another chance of the sounders to deliver
Speaker 29: a good ball in from a dangerous position.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a silly foul. Rough Rock really was stuck.
Speaker 26: Didn't have too many options going no it really, But again,
Speaker 26: as I mentioned, he seems to just make things.
Speaker 5: Happen all the time, and do so again.
Speaker 26: Now occasion I pull rough Rock and it gives Albert
Speaker 26: russ Napkin off about a minute left him at a
Speaker 26: time a chance to get something pretty livery has been
Speaker 26: locased of far, but can you find his quality here?
Speaker 26: Give me Shrimner something to run onto him.
Speaker 6: He's the only one staying back right now.
Speaker 5: Jackson's up there.
Speaker 26: Jordan's of course put in the air as well. We've
Speaker 26: got numbers around above. Tim has keeping a high line
Speaker 26: on the eighteen.
Speaker 5: But the Sounders of a chance to.
Speaker 26: Add to a second here to their lead as.
Speaker 5: Long as Albus Sliffley's good give your run as a chance.
Speaker 7: Sounders lead one nil, one minute to go.
Speaker 29: This score update is presented by Providence swed If you
Speaker 29: one arm up in the air, by Rusnik.
Speaker 7: He whipped him with his rife.
Speaker 29: De leave me to the sex and Jordan Morris made
Speaker 29: it just got a heavy touch with his head, goes
Speaker 29: over the top. It's gonna be a goal kick that
Speaker 29: should see out this first half.
Speaker 7: Pauland slowly put the ball to the top of their six.
Speaker 29: No rush by Paul, and they want to see this
Speaker 29: one out as well. Get in the locker room and
Speaker 29: what's Branch's magic is gonna be a half time stave?
Speaker 26: Yeah, I think it's a more of the same, but
Speaker 26: more like you know, I like what we've done. We've
Speaker 26: defended well again. It's a a tough game to read.
Speaker 26: It a Darby game. You kind of come up all
Speaker 26: the plans you want. It never really called the where
Speaker 26: you think and I than the Timmoth surprised me a
Speaker 26: little bit. But how adventurous they being in possession. Their quality.
Speaker 26: He's lacked in a final pot of course, but you
Speaker 26: do want that second get in take a brief up,
Speaker 26: just give me a little bit more second half if
Speaker 26: you certainly have the quantity to get a second goal.
Speaker 29: Good first half of the Sounders. Efficient is probably the
Speaker 29: word of the day for the Sounders. They look good
Speaker 29: at times. They challenged Crapo in the Portland goal and
Speaker 29: they managed to execute. In a sixteenth minute delivery by
Speaker 29: rolled on on the right found Della Vega as he
Speaker 29: gets his first start in a good number of weeks,
Speaker 29: comes off that left hand side and from about ten
Speaker 29: yards out roots the ball into the net. Sounders got
Speaker 29: one nil, and we'll take a short break, Jackson feltz.
Speaker 29: We'll be with Shane O'Neill to give you the feedback
Speaker 29: on that first half. At a halftime here at EQUC
Speaker 29: Pitch at Luminfield, it sounds one Timbers nil.

Speaker 2: Forty five minutes in the books here at Luminfield, and
Speaker 2: you're Seattle Sounders leading the Portland Timbers by a score
Speaker 2: of one to nothing. Pedro de lo Vega finishing off
Speaker 2: an excellent team goal in the sixteenth minute, Stephen Fry
Speaker 2: also coming up with a massive save in the thirty
Speaker 2: fourth minute. Your Sounders are on top right now against
Speaker 2: the Timbers one and nothing. We'll mention that Sounder's EFC
Speaker 2: Soccer is presented by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of
Speaker 2: Sounders FC. Jackson Felts and Shane O'Neil here in the
Speaker 2: booth for the halftime show. Shane and exciting, lots of energy,
Speaker 2: lots of intensity they were in the first forty five
Speaker 2: minutes in the Sounders lead.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, this game has that playoff feel again, so much
Speaker 4: energy on both sides. It felt early Seattle was really
Speaker 4: on top of the game, and credits to Portland. They
Speaker 4: hung in there, you know, Finn Sermons having a fantastic
Speaker 4: first half, Kamal Miller made some big plays, but they
Speaker 4: kind of crept back into the game, had a bit
Speaker 4: of momentum going into the halftime, but ultimately Sounders up
Speaker 4: one bill. They'll be feeling really good, Shane.
Speaker 2: That goal from Pedro dalea Vega, we've kind of watched
Speaker 2: that whole thing build up together and sort of as
Speaker 2: we were kind of our physical gestures as it was coming,
Speaker 2: We're yep, yep, yep, yes, and sort of take us
Speaker 2: through that play and what worked so well and why
Speaker 2: I think everybody in the stadium probably saw that build
Speaker 2: and saw a goal was coming.
Speaker 4: Of course, and it all starts from that run from
Speaker 4: Paul rothrock in behind, which he's done over and over
Speaker 4: again in his time here in Seattle. It stretches the
Speaker 4: back line of Portland and then obviously Albert Russnik gets
Speaker 4: on the ball, he finds that space for Jesus in
Speaker 4: between the lines, who slips Alex rolled on a lot
Speaker 4: of the things we talked about before the game, Albert
Speaker 4: to Jesus slipping Alex. He cuts it across and what
Speaker 4: a finish from dalea Vegas. So he looked really lively
Speaker 4: in that first half. You know, Pedro is one guy
Speaker 4: that we keep on.
Speaker 2: He was your player to watch great caw obviously, and
Speaker 2: we know that it's been an adventure for him, you know,
Speaker 2: frankly these last couple of years, and specifically in these
Speaker 2: last few weeks dealing with tendonitis in his knee and
Speaker 2: knowing that the pain Pedro de la Vega must be
Speaker 2: in and the pain he's trying to overcome. And Brian
Speaker 2: said that he needs to see how much you can
Speaker 2: get out of Pedro de la Vega. From my eyes,
Speaker 2: it looks like Pedro de Levega is back to his
Speaker 2: league's cup self.
Speaker 6: What do you see?
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, there's there's just an electricity when he
Speaker 4: gets on that ball. You know, he's got that burst
Speaker 4: he's got that ability to find players connect combined, and
Speaker 4: he looks really, really at it tonight and back to
Speaker 4: his best, no question about it.
Speaker 6: It's not just the goal.
Speaker 4: It's the way he's receiving the ball, the way he's turning,
Speaker 4: the way he's coming at players. He looks really sharp.
Speaker 2: Well, there's the enormous cheer for the crossbar challenge. We
Speaker 2: have a doink and we have a winner there in

Speaker 3: Welcome back to Luminfield.
Speaker 2: It's the halftime show where the Seattle Sounder is currently
Speaker 2: leading the Portland Timbers by a score of one to nothing. Gosh,
Speaker 2: it'd be great to get the first win over the
Speaker 2: Timbers in quite some time in this building. Here tonight
Speaker 2: we will see what happens. I will say that two things,
Speaker 2: This cyprited audio cast in Major League Soccer may not
Speaker 2: be retransmitted, reproduced, or rebroadcast without the express written consent
Speaker 2: of Major League Soccer. Also that tonight's match is presented
Speaker 2: by Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of the Northwest.
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at what Brian Schmenz has available.
Speaker 2: On his bench tonight That includes Jul Paulo, Jonathan Bell,
Speaker 2: Danny Muzzowski, Snyder Brunell, Danny Leva, Colonikoza, Rienzi, Georgie Manongu,
Speaker 2: Osase de Rosario, and the backup goalkeeper Andrew Thomas changed
Speaker 2: first up. Looking at that bench, who on that can
Speaker 2: help Brian Schmitzer. And maybe the better question is, at
Speaker 2: this point, with a one nothing lead, with the players
Speaker 2: on the field, with no midweek match, when does that
Speaker 2: first sub even come?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would imagine it doesn't come for a little
Speaker 4: bit of time here because Seattle has looked really, really
Speaker 4: good in that first half, make no mistake about it. Obviously,
Speaker 4: Georgia Minongu stands out as somebody who's gonna be really,
Speaker 4: really dynamic and dangerous, and we assume that dal le
Speaker 4: Vega's not gonna go ninety, so I would imagine we'll
Speaker 4: see that switch at some point. The other guy that
Speaker 4: i'd love to see get some minutes just to see
Speaker 4: what he's got before the playoffs is Jo Polo. I mean,
Speaker 4: obviously such a quality player and you'd love to be
Speaker 4: able to kind of get him a few minutes in
Speaker 4: a big game to kind of see, okay going into
Speaker 4: the playoffs here like, how's he looking, how's he feeling
Speaker 4: coming back from his injury?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you just spelled that out right there,
Speaker 2: Joel Paulo for Pedro de la Vega. Because you have
Speaker 2: Albert Rusknat come up, you have Hay Suce Frera split
Speaker 2: out right, you have Paul Rothrock on the left, you
Speaker 2: have JP next to Christian that he just writes itself
Speaker 2: right there. Let's jump to keys to the second half. Shane,
Speaker 2: what are the Sounders need to do to get three
Speaker 2: points tonight?
Speaker 4: Well, I think one of the keys will for sure
Speaker 4: be just keep it clean. I felt like Portland only
Speaker 4: got their opportunities from kind of cheap giveaways, maybe lackluster moments.
Speaker 6: If you keep it kind of tight, keep it.
Speaker 4: Buttoned up, focused, especially in your passing, I think they'll
Speaker 4: be okay. Obviously, I talked about Veld before the game,
Speaker 4: knew who hasn't clamped that guy. He hasn't done absolutely anything,
Speaker 4: and I feel like Portland has in terms of actually
Speaker 4: breaking the Sounders down. I feel like it's only come
Speaker 4: off of giveaways.
Speaker 2: Seattle leads Portland one nothing second half with Danny Stephen Michelle.

Speaker 29: as it was a good, solid, efficient first half capped
Speaker 29: off by a pedro de la Vega goal in the
Speaker 29: sixteenth minute, assisted by Alex Roldan, and the Sounders went
Speaker 29: into the half time break one nil up against their
Speaker 29: fierce rivals, the Portland Timbers on a night for Seattle
Speaker 29: Sports two too. Right now across the street between the
Speaker 29: Tigers Mariners in the first game of first playoff series
Speaker 29: of the Sounders.
Speaker 7: Can they get three points the winners.
Speaker 29: Eluded them in the four games after league's Cup final.
Speaker 29: Where they want, of course that game here three Nila
Speaker 29: gets a packed house and it's gonna be looks like
Speaker 29: an enforced change for the Sounders. We'll get it down
Speaker 29: to Michelle Lucuina just a moment to give us a
Speaker 29: bit more perspective and detail on that one before we
Speaker 29: get you the lineup coming out for this second half
Speaker 29: of both teams. But the Phil nevill and is Portland
Speaker 29: Timbers team, they've got two games left here and next
Speaker 29: two weeks against San Diego in decision Day.
Speaker 7: So here go.
Speaker 29: The Sounder is getting a second half kicked off here.
Speaker 29: They're attacking the goal to our right in there, say
Speaker 29: the seat kit of dark Green with Teal before ricochets
Speaker 29: off to Jordan Morris. Can they find a quick goal
Speaker 29: as they did just a few weeks ago Georgie Meningo,
Speaker 29: and it introduction to that second half at Austin where he.
Speaker 7: Scored in the first minute.
Speaker 29: Of course, well less adventurous change for the Sounders, So
Speaker 29: wild Timers are gonna work their way through the back
Speaker 29: line for the first time this second half.
Speaker 7: Give us a bit more information. Throw it down to you, Michelle, Yes,
Speaker 7: thank you.
Speaker 30: Danny you obviously indicated the substitution for Kim Key Heat
Speaker 30: coming up, Jonathan Bell coming back in. I'm going to
Speaker 30: pause right there.
Speaker 7: Danny Yah, roll down the left, turn side. We'll get
Speaker 7: right back to you, Michelle. As Anthony has it down
Speaker 7: left hand side to Smith as he gets.
Speaker 29: Chaperone towards the corner flag ands clipped Away's could be
Speaker 29: a throwing for the Sounders and bat.
Speaker 7: To you, Michelle, thank you.
Speaker 30: I talked to head coach Brian Schmener and he indicated
Speaker 30: to me that kim ky Heat is dealing with some
Speaker 30: tightness in his calf. They are assuming at this point
Speaker 30: that this is similar to an injury he's had previously,
Speaker 30: but we don't have any further details than that, other
Speaker 30: than tightness in his calf.
Speaker 14: And they're going to continue to evaluate it.
Speaker 30: But something to watch for is that Jackson Reagan is
Speaker 30: one yellow card away from yellow card accumulation resulting in
Speaker 30: a one match suspension, so it'll be interesting to see
Speaker 30: how that factors into the last forty five minutes to
Speaker 30: play here today.
Speaker 29: Also, yeah, thanks Michelle. We'll have every right from the
Speaker 29: bench on his left hand side. They're attacking the north end.
Speaker 29: The gold to left sound is in their.
Speaker 7: Traditional south end direction for the second half.
Speaker 29: As Bell gets his first touch of his introduction to
Speaker 29: the lineups, we'll get back to step and fright. Check
Speaker 29: your touch type to step Frod fright on the goal line.
Speaker 29: He managed to get the ball clear. The ball goes
Speaker 29: across the six yard box asking for m Bull bounced
Speaker 29: off Russ next chest, nothing given by the referee. Sound
Speaker 29: has come out with Perera.
Speaker 7: Good ball by Parata's left foot down his right hand side,
Speaker 7: running behind by Jordan Morris and it comes rock rock across.
Speaker 7: It goes strong with his right foot almost fans.
Speaker 29: The top corner does delevate round of reports by Cee
Speaker 29: Zach Marney next to us, but the sound has broke. Well,
Speaker 29: it's gonna be a goal. Kick, they leave one nil.
Speaker 5: And it was it was an important attack because you're right,
Speaker 5: I mean Jackson Reager's Stephen Fry no favors of that
Speaker 5: back pass, the fight at him that Stephan Fry deal
Speaker 5: with it well on the.
Speaker 26: Other and Sounders with a good attack Rock Frock maybe
Speaker 26: could have sliped Jordan Morrison, chose not to and then
Speaker 26: found it a Vega.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 26: Normally I say take up time to compold yourself, but
Speaker 26: Dela Vega has a flare for the spectacular with a
Speaker 26: decent attempt.
Speaker 5: On that on the left hand side, trying to curl
Speaker 5: the top corner just missed out, sounds.
Speaker 29: Run off side, nothing given by the assistant referee. Quite
Speaker 29: young Anthony. Here comes Anthony off that left hand. So
Speaker 29: I go square two.
Speaker 7: I'll eventually goes up.
Speaker 29: He just I mean, Rosneck's response is the same as
Speaker 29: what we are, just shrugging his shoulder and thinking.
Speaker 7: It's ten seconds. Put your flag up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and when it's that obvious you can kind of
Speaker 5: see it. Let me just call it.
Speaker 26: I mean, I get when the bulls closer to the gold,
Speaker 26: something may develop. You may need to give yourself more time.
Speaker 26: But yeah, now, occasionally I think it was quite obvious.
Speaker 26: One thing, you know, Schwetzawa says, go to change games
Speaker 26: in this situation, goals change plans because they had a
Speaker 26: sort of an idea of the la Vega and.
Speaker 5: They won't shore how fit would it be. But he's
Speaker 5: got a goal.
Speaker 6: He's probably a half time.
Speaker 26: He says, guys, look, I feel good and I've consulted
Speaker 26: with a medical team and they put him out there.
Speaker 26: We'll see if he has another ten to fifteen minutes
Speaker 26: in him, But it's a good signed seat that pager
Speaker 26: can push beyond just forty five.
Speaker 29: Minutes, because it feels like sometimes Steve, these players are
Speaker 29: so kind of evaluated based on data and stats, not
Speaker 29: like the old way we used to play, like do
Speaker 29: you feel we'll keep going yet exactly?
Speaker 5: Going exactly?
Speaker 26: And I see that seems have taken place and that
Speaker 26: which is good. But he's been very good for the Sounders,
Speaker 26: and I just think this game now, the Timbers are
Speaker 26: going to give you a strong put second off. His
Speaker 26: first ten to fifteen is going to be very important.
Speaker 26: Can you build a cushion, can you find a second
Speaker 26: bold to start to put this game slowly out of reach?
Speaker 26: The longest days one ye. We've been sending all season long.
Speaker 26: Anything can punish you at any moment.
Speaker 29: Quick goal kick by Portland's The ball went over the
Speaker 29: endline miscommunication between rough rock and rolled arm. But Sanders
Speaker 29: pick it up from the clearance from Timbers and they
Speaker 29: drop into their defensive shell. Now Sanders have some possession
Speaker 29: coming out of this second off Jonathan Bell and now
Speaker 29: breaks the line well with Rossnak now turns on the
Speaker 29: half turn place for Rare. I got a pocket of
Speaker 29: space on the left hand side, said the ball out
Speaker 29: to della Vega. Now rolled on looking up, head up,
Speaker 29: goes forward back to Della Vega, to new who is new,
Speaker 29: goes all the way back to Stephan FROI we'll throw
Speaker 29: it down to.
Speaker 7: You, Michelle.
Speaker 30: Thank you, Danny yeh, says I indicated earlier.
Speaker 7: I talked to head coach.
Speaker 30: Brian Schwenzer on his way back out, got his initial
Speaker 30: thoughts on the first forty five minutes of play, and
Speaker 30: he said overall he was really pleased.
Speaker 7: The biggest areas to work.
Speaker 30: On were possessions, and they've had some, you know, close
Speaker 30: possession in the back of the field near Steph and
Speaker 30: Fry by the goal and He's like, I don't want
Speaker 30: possession there, I want it on.
Speaker 7: The opposite end of the field.
Speaker 30: So they really talked about getting Kayesus and Albert to
Speaker 30: drop back more and then really trying to catch them
Speaker 30: into one on one situation with either roth Rock.
Speaker 12: Or Morris up the field.
Speaker 30: And he said the biggest message he pushed to this
Speaker 30: team is that this is a ninety minute match. We're
Speaker 30: forty five minutes through it, but we've got forty five
Speaker 30: more to go.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Michelle.
Speaker 29: Sound As lead one nil fiftieth minute here at Luman Field.
Speaker 7: Three games remaining of this campaign for the Sounders that
Speaker 7: made the playoffs.
Speaker 29: Ball and timers up two games, including today, and there's
Speaker 29: last games against second place San Diego inaugural season. So
Speaker 29: no easy thing to go play. San Diego's assistant referees
Speaker 29: flag on the far side. Go is Avin Smith, the
Speaker 29: broading left back eats off side. It's gonna be a
Speaker 29: free kick for the Sounders deep in there's half the field.
Speaker 29: Actually it's played a little bit further up the field.
Speaker 29: Referee doesn't pull it back. Stephen Fry checks now Jackson
Speaker 29: Reagan's touch. He manages to deal with it. Ball down
Speaker 29: like good one touch ball here comes Morris, got a chance,
Speaker 29: Millers can't do anything else.
Speaker 7: Botro Kinnie's body between ball and player does pretty well.
Speaker 29: It comes Morris tries to back into Sermon froms off
Speaker 29: Sermon's knee, Ballard clean things up.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 26: I like your point there from a showing to him
Speaker 26: to Schmiss because I had a feeling of that in
Speaker 26: the first half where the poussession was okay, but it
Speaker 26: was it wasn't good territoriy and know if it was
Speaker 26: in the back half of the field, I'm sort of
Speaker 26: building at the back can get more possession in the
Speaker 26: attack and half really put pauland under under pressure here.
Speaker 26: The game hasn't gone as I thought. I thought seen
Speaker 26: close the fifty five to sixty percent possession, the teams
Speaker 26: have given a good shaped possession two surprising me.
Speaker 6: It's not just being.
Speaker 26: Transitioned, so much more of a back and forth game
Speaker 26: than expected. But I agree with watching metts Stal with Michelle.
Speaker 26: I think you want to see the Sounders having possession
Speaker 26: in the attack and off a lot more, and that
Speaker 26: is going to include Russnik and Ferrera finding a lot
Speaker 26: more touching.
Speaker 6: On the board.
Speaker 29: Headed clear by Jackson Reagan for a long ball played
Speaker 29: forward by Portland back line and then the clearance Vyn
Speaker 29: who goes up in the night sky flick forward by Morris.
Speaker 29: Elvaga comes back really well, turns out a pressure takes
Speaker 29: it off Ayala's foot. Here comes rolled on, getting harried
Speaker 29: now and pushing the back here comes rolled on, keeps going,
Speaker 29: finds Ferrera rock rock to the right, gets it right
Speaker 29: corner the Engen yardbox gets his head.
Speaker 5: Up across the six.
Speaker 29: Played well by Miller, really good defending by the Portland
Speaker 29: center back, and then Kelsey just shrugs off Jackson Reagan.
Speaker 29: Nick comes Poland in transition three versus three Norn behind
Speaker 29: and a heavy touch by Anthey the wrong time, trapped well.
Speaker 7: By Knew who goes to to fry. He throws it
Speaker 7: out quickly in their games really.
Speaker 5: Opening up now, Yeah, this game might be a little
Speaker 5: too open.
Speaker 26: And I think to your point in branch Mens is
Speaker 26: up off his bench instructing these guys.
Speaker 6: Just where's my balance?
Speaker 5: You know, we're selling five forward and defending with five.
Speaker 26: That's not what I want. I want a little bit
Speaker 26: more balanced. The tim was there got through a little
Speaker 26: bit too easily. Indian Anthony's touch was too strong, pushed
Speaker 26: it too far. But all evening I've says the danger
Speaker 26: is there. One will not be enough is my feeling
Speaker 26: game because I think the tim is us showing enough
Speaker 26: glimpses in attack. Maybe not the quality yet, but they
Speaker 26: are certainly getting into some promising positions for them, and
Speaker 26: they'll be slightly encouraged with how this game's gone so
Speaker 26: far despite being one nil down.
Speaker 29: Yeah, it was good play by Kelsey, just kind of
Speaker 29: road the challenge of Jackson's trying to nip in and
Speaker 29: win the ball, and Jackson went to ground. It was
Speaker 29: Paul and we were able to spring into the counter
Speaker 29: as the balls not back to Jonathan Bell pressed now
Speaker 29: by that man's.
Speaker 7: Kelsey ball all the way back to Steph and fry Well.
Speaker 7: Wherever you're headed, Discount Tire wants to get you there safely.
Speaker 29: Shot for Tires with Treadwell your personal tire guy at
Speaker 29: Discount Tire dot Com. Fifty fourth minute here at Lumenfield
Speaker 29: Sounders one timbers niled in this one hundred and twenty
Speaker 29: fourth game between these two great rivals, and this scrupny
Speaker 29: is presented by EQC Sounders.
Speaker 7: Have it in their back line.
Speaker 29: With Jonathan Bell introduced at half time for injured kim Key,
Speaker 29: Hugh managed to work his through way through forty five
Speaker 29: minutes look like he made have to be pulled joined
Speaker 29: that first half.
Speaker 7: He looked uncomfortable at times, but he looks his way
Speaker 7: through it well.
Speaker 29: Good board by Della Vager from that this near touchline
Speaker 29: inside it goes.
Speaker 7: Ferrera has it right of center.
Speaker 29: Now drills the ball to the far side, off to
Speaker 29: the chest of raft Rock, and it's gonna be off side.
Speaker 7: And Steve, you're a left wigger. You could talk about
Speaker 7: saying right across that line, that's gonna drive a.
Speaker 26: Coach the biggest pet peete when it's gonna be a
Speaker 26: crossfield plus a dagonal the balls in the air for
Speaker 26: a few second, it's going forty to fifty yards sometimes more.
Speaker 26: There's no excuse to be offside roth rockn order. The
Speaker 26: moment Ferra pits his head up, you check your line,
Speaker 26: am I onside because he receives that he's one one
Speaker 26: and he's off to the racist, So he really bells
Speaker 26: out the defenders there because the Timbers were not well
Speaker 26: positioned and Indiana Sounders what could have been a promise
Speaker 26: of situation just ends up being a freaking for Portland
Speaker 26: when it.
Speaker 5: Should not be the case.
Speaker 29: Good play by Rosneck far side the left to shepherds
Speaker 29: the ball out of play. It's gonna be a sounder's
Speaker 29: throw with New who quick up day across the street.
Speaker 29: Tigers go up three to two. Top of the eleventh.
Speaker 29: Somaron has got a little bit word to do. Now
Speaker 29: I'm quite hearing any sounds coming from over there. The
Speaker 29: sound of the s sam with the Sounders faithful is
Speaker 29: too loud for us to hear that packed house over
Speaker 29: the team Morble Park.
Speaker 7: But here come the sounders. Can they find a second?
Speaker 14: Now?
Speaker 29: Whipped in by a rath Rock headed clear by Smith,
Speaker 29: picked up by rolled on left of center outside the
Speaker 29: eighteen yard box.
Speaker 7: Back to rath Rock.
Speaker 29: It goes a little shimmy shake of his hips and
Speaker 29: then plays the ball back to New who then rolled
Speaker 29: on to New who sounds looking for the opening Here
Speaker 29: is Alex rold On makes a little run, but Frera
Speaker 29: turns out of pressure well and they's hustled off the
Speaker 29: ball by Paradus and Ia, the two defensive midfield players.
Speaker 7: Good step by checks and he doesn't win the ball
Speaker 7: has happened a couple of times now.
Speaker 29: It comes Anthony down the left hand side inside the
Speaker 29: eighteen yardbox.
Speaker 7: Bell shepherds it well back it.
Speaker 29: Goes, and then Sounders well, Christian rolled on cleans things
Speaker 29: up Forrera's gonna make a run down the line. Little
Speaker 29: cutboard by Christian de la Vega just scoots in front
Speaker 29: of Kelsey and the Sounders able to withstand another counter attap.
Speaker 7: It's happened a couple of times.
Speaker 29: Now where Jackson stepped missed the ball and it's allowed
Speaker 29: Paula to go forward.
Speaker 26: It has them both times. Anthony's the one who boats me,
Speaker 26: has to let his team down. But the danger signs
Speaker 26: of there. I think that one day will be sad.
Speaker 26: A couple of times now it's not the strongest lead
Speaker 26: to happen to Timber's getting out of the counter attacking
Speaker 26: ow a few times. They're gonna take one more chances.
Speaker 26: In the end, they've got a risk losing by two
Speaker 26: or three for the risk for getting back into the
Speaker 26: game because they cannot let it go to Fountain the
Speaker 26: last day for themselves. As we mentioned, San Diego also
Speaker 26: will still have tough to play for and inside it's
Speaker 26: the Timers win today. They leap from the Sounders.
Speaker 6: They've got a point about the Seal Sounds.
Speaker 5: Of course, Sounds have a game in hand, but that
Speaker 5: should be enough of an incentive to.
Speaker 7: All in behind. Kelsey runs through. He's gonna scoot it.
Speaker 7: Just what if the post.
Speaker 29: Fry came out assess a referee flag came up. Eventually
Speaker 29: it looked like it was a yard or so offside.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be a free kick for the Sounders.
Speaker 26: But yeah, Schmat's he's yelling to album something you mentioned
Speaker 26: moments ago.
Speaker 5: Just settle it down.
Speaker 26: The game is way too open right now, and that
Speaker 26: is not the way that the Sounds one is going
Speaker 26: to be going.
Speaker 6: That's suster.
Speaker 26: The Timber is way more it's way to open, and
Speaker 26: the tim is not mine. They're gonna keep running, take
Speaker 26: their chances. They've gone behind three times now, a couple
Speaker 26: of times offside, a couple of times bad touches for example.
Speaker 26: But it's a little too open.
Speaker 6: Not enough control through the middle right now.
Speaker 5: And I hate to say it. May see these moments
Speaker 5: you do miss a guy like Albert Fargus, power.
Speaker 29: And pace of obed through the middle, just showing something.
Speaker 29: The maybe is Anthony just knocks rough across the ball.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a.
Speaker 29: Thrown from Portland on his nearside. Let meshure about Jordan Morris.
Speaker 29: You know he's had a couple of starts now going
Speaker 29: back from that shoulder injury.
Speaker 7: Of course, he was down for a good while. It
Speaker 7: takes a player some time to get back in the
Speaker 7: swing of things. Look at you coming to them. Over
Speaker 7: Here is Morris down the right hand side.
Speaker 29: It's good defended by the Sounders and counterpress all goes
Speaker 29: back to Jackson, will step forward. Here comes Jackson top
Speaker 29: of the box, cuts into rusnock back.
Speaker 7: It goes to John fa Bell just as he sees
Speaker 7: that corny Mansions putting the foot.
Speaker 4: Of the ball.
Speaker 7: And if it's not forward, go back. Just keep possession.
Speaker 29: And what Sounds need to do is just control these games.
Speaker 29: They went up to a nil of course against the Galaxy.
Speaker 29: It's given away by Dela Vega. And then here come
Speaker 29: balland again Sounders all over the place right now in transition,
Speaker 29: and Paul's gonna scoot group board bounces. Good play by
Speaker 29: Alex just cushions his head and then flicks it to Delava,
Speaker 29: goes back. So Jordan Morris ruin himself back in the game,
Speaker 29: thinks the game's kind of gone around it. It feels
Speaker 29: like today he.
Speaker 7: Needs a god.
Speaker 26: I figured we did the game against Buston when he
Speaker 26: came on, had a chance right away. You thought, if
Speaker 26: you could put that one away, he probably gets two
Speaker 26: or three.
Speaker 4: More over the next few games.
Speaker 26: But he's such a streaky players a confidence playoff and
Speaker 26: I think he just needs a goal. Doesn't always have
Speaker 26: to have his best game, always be involved, but as
Speaker 26: a striker, missing the chance of the year that he
Speaker 26: has missed was gonna really get him going and ramped
Speaker 26: up in time for the playoffs. Which we need is
Speaker 26: seeing the board in the back and in any fashion
Speaker 26: play haven't.
Speaker 29: Of course, he got sixteen gold men in all competitions.
Speaker 29: Danny Maussosi is sitting on the bench. Azage de Rozzari,
Speaker 29: of course had a wonderful League's Cup run goal in
Speaker 29: the semi final goal in the finals, so he's chomping
Speaker 29: on the heels of both those two players. So manche
Speaker 29: Metz has got some options playing in that number nine
Speaker 29: position up fronts gold On steps in, it's gonna be
Speaker 29: a free kick for Portland. We'll get to Michelle Luck
Speaker 29: in just a second. We will let this free kick
Speaker 29: play out right now, as the timber starts to send
Speaker 29: the big men up as sermon the big New Zealand
Speaker 29: that goes up, Kamal Miller just drops the ball. Now
Speaker 29: he's gonna make his way up the field and it'll
Speaker 29: be new Man Velder, the number ninety nine, just about.
Speaker 7: Ten yards in from the Bortland bench and this near.
Speaker 29: Sideline, got a chance to whip it in with his
Speaker 29: right foot. Sounders holding the top of their eighteen yard
Speaker 29: box and they lead one nil here thirty minutes to
Speaker 29: go near at lumin Field Sports.
Speaker 7: Radio KJR, Sounders holding their box.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be whipped in by Belder and it comes
Speaker 29: good delivery, curling headed wide and then over the end
Speaker 29: line by a Sounders player, and it's gonna be a
Speaker 29: corner kick for Portland.
Speaker 7: Down on this left hand side. It's gonna be Velder again.
Speaker 7: He's gonna run out and play this cornerkick with his
Speaker 7: right foot. It's gonna be an in. Swinger's got some
Speaker 7: good whip on this delivery.
Speaker 29: As Belder, the Rwegian international signing from the Olympia cost
Speaker 29: just a few weeks.
Speaker 7: Ago one I'm up in the air.
Speaker 29: Now it gets whipped with right on top of Fry's
Speaker 29: a good solid poch by Fry inside his six collected
Speaker 29: again by Mos Squerra. The Sounders will step or does
Speaker 29: all the way back to Craper. It's gonna take his
Speaker 29: opportunity to knock it long now down for far side
Speaker 29: the right who reached the ball that was picked up
Speaker 29: top of the box, rolled across to Kelsey with his
Speaker 29: left foot down the line.
Speaker 7: It goes toward Felder.
Speaker 29: There's gonna be another corner kick, Michelle. I promise you're
Speaker 29: gonna get to you. We'll get you right there. It's
Speaker 29: gonna be another corner kick from Portland again. It's gonna
Speaker 29: be on the left hand side again with the right
Speaker 29: foot of Veelder, saying, set up us just a moment
Speaker 29: or so ago.
Speaker 7: Sound you have to defend this.
Speaker 29: Six yard box of the well whipped in ball by
Speaker 29: Velder just a minute ago, felt well by fright with
Speaker 29: the punch. Now it goes near and short put clear
Speaker 29: by rolled On finds the coss it.
Speaker 7: Brings down brilliantly with his right foot. Balls at square
Speaker 7: to Anthony Cuts the wall to the top of the
Speaker 7: each and yard. But ayala to Kelsey.
Speaker 29: We've been fending by rolled on again, but it's gonna
Speaker 29: scoot over the end line.
Speaker 7: Third corner kick.
Speaker 29: In a row for Portland on there left hand side
Speaker 29: again it's Pi Veelder again with the right foot. The
Speaker 29: costa goes short, this time marshaled well by Ferrara. Sounders
Speaker 29: need to stand strong leading one nil, needs there. I'll
Speaker 29: try bilder tim but Pau gets whipped in short again.
Speaker 29: It comes off de la Vega. It's gonna be a
Speaker 29: fourth corner kick.
Speaker 7: In a row. So far, so good. Ben don't break
Speaker 7: is the message for Brian Schmitze to his men.
Speaker 29: They work on set pieces. Now goes short. This sign
Speaker 29: to the coosa to Anthony. Now whipped in clos down
Speaker 29: well by rolledn It just scoots around, thinks it well
Speaker 29: by Anthony.
Speaker 7: He's gonna head it forward and then cleared by Morris
Speaker 7: who's gonna pick it up on the far side. Got left,
Speaker 7: we'll step over, no pressure.
Speaker 29: For he's gonna go back and as the Sounders built
Speaker 29: through the back, we'll throw it down to you Michelle.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Danny.
Speaker 30: We've got some substitutions about to come in here. I've
Speaker 30: learned that it's Georgie coming in from Pedro de la Vega,
Speaker 30: who got to Steve's points earlier. He was kind of
Speaker 30: on a minute watch here for today's match. He got
Speaker 30: more minutes than originally fought by the Sounder staff coach
Speaker 30: telling me at halftime it was very impressibly what he
Speaker 30: saw from Pedro in the first forty five.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna pause right there, Danny, Yeah, thanks, Michelle, get
Speaker 7: right back to you. It's about four corner kicks in
Speaker 7: the row.
Speaker 29: It comes to the costaf w Pennans gonna bounces awkwardly
Speaker 29: in front of Stephen Fry.
Speaker 7: He's gonna marshal his troops out and Michelle will throw
Speaker 7: it to you.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 30: The other substitution that's coming in is Danny Mussovski. We
Speaker 30: can surmise at this point that he will be coming
Speaker 30: in for Jordan Morris. While I have not had that confirmed,
Speaker 30: I believe Jordan's time will be done for tonight, only
Speaker 30: in his second start in the last five straight appearances
Speaker 30: since he missed nearly two months from that shoulder separation
Speaker 30: to Steve's point earlier. How meeting he is of getting
Speaker 30: a goal.
Speaker 7: He has not scored since he.
Speaker 30: Set the record for all time goal scoring for the
Speaker 30: Sounders back in March, and today it was a hard
Speaker 30: one for him to even try because in his nineteen
Speaker 30: appearances across his career against Portland, he's only scored once.
Speaker 5: It comes here.
Speaker 7: Can he get on the board before he goes off?
Speaker 7: Clips him by nude rules. The fo post skips through
Speaker 7: govern too far from Rosnack's able to collect. Now skip
Speaker 7: to towards the bank.
Speaker 29: Post skips all the way through to new Wren's sitting
Speaker 29: with his left foot headed clear picked up right corner
Speaker 29: of the box.
Speaker 7: Point Alex rolled on. He's gonna cut the wall back
Speaker 7: to Jackson Reagan.
Speaker 29: Good florid attack right now for the sound It's gonna
Speaker 29: find their second goal. Rold On just strides forward a
Speaker 29: couple of step ups inside the eighteen yard park on
Speaker 29: top of the box. It goes to Rosnack. Got some time,
Speaker 29: then it gets carried out. It's gonna be a challenge Revere.
Speaker 29: He's gonna pull it back.
Speaker 7: Waited for a squad second for the advantage. Nothing there.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be a free kick for Patland and the
Speaker 29: subs there will make their way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think your subs something needs to change.
Speaker 26: It's been a little topping, as we mentioned, and yes
Speaker 26: these are attacking changers.
Speaker 5: But it's a different dynamic Georgie. We know it already
Speaker 5: when Georgie.
Speaker 26: Comes on, and let's just see what happens to say,
Speaker 26: whether Roth Frock stays on the left or comes across the.
Speaker 6: Right hand side.
Speaker 26: But Georgie's direct dynamic, gonna try to make things happen.
Speaker 26: And I think Jordan Morris his evening's off Misofsky.
Speaker 5: Just finds golds. He's been finding golds.
Speaker 26: Of course, we know he's on the verge of breaking
Speaker 26: that club record quite surprisingly me to Ruth.
Speaker 6: Yaz and old Kamie.
Speaker 26: Martin's in all competitions, so he'd be happy to get
Speaker 26: a gold as well. And of course it looks like
Speaker 26: rough Rock will he's coming across to the right here,
Speaker 26: I'm not.
Speaker 5: Sure because Georgie.
Speaker 6: Has also still on the right.
Speaker 26: Yeah, Rothrock' still on the left. Georgie will play on
Speaker 26: the right, and of course Miss will go right up top.
Speaker 26: But Fresh legs a little different dynamic. K from the
Speaker 26: sounders Mussovski not as adept as getting behind us Jordan Morris.
Speaker 26: So maybe Ferrera has the gap and support him a
Speaker 26: little bit, but he just gives the Timbers defense a
Speaker 26: different look to look at him.
Speaker 29: Yeah, highing form of course, confidence seeping through DOWNI Massovski
Speaker 29: right now, but right now the sounds after the defense
Speaker 29: right hand side, Look a couple of steppers overs by
Speaker 29: Felder the far side the right. You're asking for deflection
Speaker 29: of Felder. An unfortunately quick update, not a good update
Speaker 29: for Mariners and Seattle sports fans. They go down three
Speaker 29: to two against the Tigers across the street from us,
Speaker 29: so they lose that first game of the playoffs.
Speaker 7: So we've got lots of opportunities to come back.
Speaker 29: And if you listen to the pundits, I'll say that
Speaker 29: Marinas are one of the favorites to left the World
Speaker 29: Tiers this year.
Speaker 7: Hasn't been spoken about for many many a year here
Speaker 7: in Seattle.
Speaker 29: Of course, the Sounders have shown the way in terms
Speaker 29: of putting trophies in their trophy cabinet, noting the trophy
Speaker 29: was the league's.
Speaker 7: Cut triumph force, the only one.
Speaker 29: There was a louding the Sounders of all competitions that
Speaker 29: they can actually win.
Speaker 7: Paul and habit ball.
Speaker 29: Now sound is defending a one goal lead with twenty
Speaker 29: five minutes to go of this all important Cascadia game.
Speaker 7: All down to the right hand side.
Speaker 29: Skips through top of the box, finds the Castle was
Speaker 29: able to roll his foot over the ball and elude
Speaker 29: Musovski's pressed out of the right hand side to mascare
Speaker 29: three fallen timbers in the box. Now Hadding at four
Speaker 29: cut by Kelsey strike, Oh, just wide. I'm not sure
Speaker 29: if Frey had it covered. He was scrambling to his right.
Speaker 29: It smashed crossed advertising boards. It's gonna be a goal
Speaker 29: kick sound as they lead more nil sieves that quany
Speaker 29: but again Paul and showing they've got some threat in
Speaker 29: that attacking third.
Speaker 26: Yeah, Sounders living very dangerously there. Of course that shots
Speaker 26: from distance. Fry probably sees it all the way closer
Speaker 26: than I would have liked. But there's been waves of
Speaker 26: attach on the timbers in the second half, a little
Speaker 26: bit more than would have expected. It hasn't just been
Speaker 26: free transition. If us sustained it, Hopefy Georgia here and
Speaker 26: Danimsasi can give the Sounders a bit of life in
Speaker 26: the attack because they're needing something.
Speaker 6: You need a spark right now because on the.
Speaker 5: Two the tim has looked slightly more likely right now
Speaker 5: to be next.
Speaker 6: On the board.
Speaker 7: Certainly two look down on my stamps board. Sounds do
Speaker 7: have a bit more possession, but it's all gonna have
Speaker 7: been dangerous. Here come the sounders pointing is.
Speaker 5: Danny Masoski, Oh could.
Speaker 14: Be a foul.
Speaker 29: Well, like you've got pushing about my mill. We'll see
Speaker 29: if bar says something. It was obviously got the stride
Speaker 29: on Miller helps the ground. It's good defending if it
Speaker 29: was cleaned by Miller. Either way, the horse not in
Speaker 29: the back of the net walland have it inside. They're
Speaker 29: attacking half the field now Ferrera steps in. Referee is
Speaker 29: going to add the advantage that pass it down in
Speaker 29: my shoulder by Massovsky. Double foul given. Eventually show off
Speaker 29: the first or the second. He'll Neville just remonstrates the
Speaker 29: referee screen.
Speaker 26: And I think he wants the advantage because he's like,
Speaker 26: you could always come back, and especially if you're not
Speaker 26: booking the player, which he might, but I don't take
Speaker 26: he's booking, Hey, Susia.
Speaker 5: He's having a.
Speaker 26: Word with him and he's having to word, give me advanceae.
Speaker 26: But we saw the last sound of attack there what
Speaker 26: Georgie and Danny can bring George again and ran inside
Speaker 26: good cross Early on Danny looked like he got cooked
Speaker 26: to me, and not surely if you've got a contact
Speaker 26: on that, because sound has been certainly thought.
Speaker 5: So referee did not see it that way.
Speaker 7: Ferrera's down, He's not good. That's not good.
Speaker 29: Maybe in the awkward challenge of that's not gonna be
Speaker 29: a good sign. So let's get you the bench for
Speaker 29: the sounders to open up my.
Speaker 7: Line up here.
Speaker 29: So John tavell on, of course you mentioned a halftime
Speaker 29: for kim Key Missofsky just came on, got Andrew Thomas,
Speaker 29: Jo Paolo, Danny, Lavor, Snyder, Brunell, Georgie came on. Of
Speaker 29: course for de la Vega. Klan is still on the bench,
Speaker 29: Derosario or the other options.
Speaker 5: So he looks like Lev. He's coming back from warming up,
Speaker 5: stripping down.
Speaker 7: It'll be a like for like switch.
Speaker 26: Yeah, and then you push Albert upper line back into
Speaker 26: probably he's more natural number ten position.
Speaker 5: It's a shame if a sus does have to go off.
Speaker 26: He's been attended to here by members on the Sounder's
Speaker 26: medical staff here, if you're in a fine forms, I
Speaker 26: didn't have a good game tonight, becoming key to everything
Speaker 26: that the Sounder steam wants to build and is building.
Speaker 26: But he went down there and it didn't look good,
Speaker 26: similar to Kim Key in the first half. And player
Speaker 26: knows they know thanskip the Sunds and that's not breaking
Speaker 26: the game here because the Timbers were building momentum.
Speaker 6: But it does look like Danny.
Speaker 5: Leva will be coming on for his final twenty minutes
Speaker 5: plus change well.
Speaker 29: Tonight's match is presented by Emerald Queak Casino, the entertainment
Speaker 29: entertainment capital of the Northwest goes Sounders as this is
Speaker 29: walking off on his own, marshalled by the Sounders medical
Speaker 29: staff and Chris Cornish.
Speaker 7: There's definitely a hobble in his gait as he walks
Speaker 7: off the field.
Speaker 29: Danny lever, We'll see what happens. You know, we've seen
Speaker 29: Danny playing that number ten. Brian Schmidtz has talked about
Speaker 29: maybe that could be his better position. But certainly Rosnek
Speaker 29: can slide up alone, Massovski can play in that hole.
Speaker 7: Maybe there'll be some change up between the two players.
Speaker 7: What Sounders FC.
Speaker 29: Sockey is also presented by a properent Swedish official healthcare
Speaker 29: partner of Sounders FC.
Speaker 7: Twenty minutes ago of this game.
Speaker 29: This Cascadia matchup between Bland and Sounders one hundred and
Speaker 29: twenty fourth game between these clubs going dating back to
Speaker 29: nineteen seventy five, is the fiftieth anniversary for the set
Speaker 29: for the Portland Timbers.
Speaker 7: This year the.
Speaker 29: Sounders, Vancouver white Caps, San Jose Earthquakes all celebrated their
Speaker 29: fiftieth last year, and their changes confirms Ny Labor for Farrera.
Speaker 29: Here it comes to Paul a good step again by Jackson.
Speaker 29: Reagan plays it into the Labor. We'll see if he
Speaker 29: plays more advanced. But here comes Labor across half right line.
Speaker 29: He goes, He stops to making a little running behind
Speaker 29: delaveagas Dela Vega. Labor cuts the ball back right in
Speaker 29: from the Sounders bench. Here comes down He down the
Speaker 29: right inside, He goes to Georgie picks the ball up
Speaker 29: five yards from the end line. So Labor keeps the
Speaker 29: ball moving nice and quickly. The message that you say
Speaker 29: to any young kid, if you've got time on the ball,
Speaker 29: you don't have to take it, keep the ball moving,
Speaker 29: and right now the Sounders have a goal lead to
Speaker 29: preserve something they've struggled with over the last number of weeks.
Speaker 7: Paul without a win since that league's cup finals.
Speaker 29: Mentioned and they haven't beaten the Timbers here since twenty seventeen,
Speaker 29: so this would break all sorts of bad records for
Speaker 29: the Sounders. Good step by roll Dard. She fights with
Speaker 29: Ayala now eventually comes away that it's there's Alex Roldan
Speaker 29: who stuffs Ayala for his brother Paradus of course chops
Speaker 29: at Alex goes down inside the center circle. It's gonna
Speaker 29: be a free kick for the Sounders. I don't like
Speaker 29: there was a reasonable yellow car, just says Fererra got
Speaker 29: it a few minutes ago, and the note's gonna be
Speaker 29: a free kick for the Sounders. There's Alex Roldan backs
Speaker 29: up his brother Christian, little high five between the two players.
Speaker 29: Lots of games going on around the Western Conference and
Speaker 29: the Movers and Shakers right now, and some results that
Speaker 29: are going in the Sounders favor, one of them being Austin.
Speaker 29: One Saint Louis three Saint Louis of course out Austin,
Speaker 29: who are sitting right below the Sounders fighting for contention
Speaker 29: to push up the West Western Conference standings.
Speaker 7: They went down three to one today.
Speaker 29: Houston to San Diego four, so they now move into
Speaker 29: top spot again above Minnesota.
Speaker 7: But it comes Georgie down the right hand.
Speaker 29: Side, cuts it away from Smith, just fours to the ground,
Speaker 29: and it's just to keep possession the ball. Great player
Speaker 29: by Georgie inside the eighteen yard box and then good
Speaker 29: defending by Smith who just shepherded Georgie out. It felt
Speaker 29: like it was going down a bit of a black
Speaker 29: hole there. Maybe you should have cut the ball back,
Speaker 29: but good play initially by Georgie, and it was good
Speaker 29: defended by Smith.
Speaker 26: Yeah, it's good recovering you and you got to give
Speaker 26: the defender credit there. But Georgie that's why he does well.
Speaker 26: And then he recovered so well, And you're right, he's
Speaker 26: just got to get the cross off. Once you beat
Speaker 26: the defend up, you just need to get half a
Speaker 26: step in front. You gotta get the crossing there. But
Speaker 26: he's certainly come on and adding as Bob and your
Speaker 26: original instinct was right, Daniel Labor's come on. He's playing
Speaker 26: in an advanced position to Albert Rossnak is gonna stay
Speaker 26: next to push year roll down. What move up the
Speaker 26: line is that Danny Labor sort of in that number
Speaker 26: ten role after calling to close it came out for
Speaker 26: the Sounders.
Speaker 29: What's gonna be interesting against RSL, which is as you're
Speaker 29: there was supposed to be a week off international break,
Speaker 29: you've got obed likely not going to be here now
Speaker 29: with Mexico advancing to the next stage. Chris, you're all
Speaker 29: on with the US men's national team. You know you're
Speaker 29: getting down to their boats numbers. JP, of course is
Speaker 29: on the bench, has not yet seen really time on
Speaker 29: the field after coming back from that knee injury which
Speaker 29: we thought it was an ECL and it wasn't. Went
Speaker 29: under the knife and they found out that the ACL
Speaker 29: was intact. Great news for the Sounders, great news for JP.
Speaker 29: Here's an option ball down line here it comes.
Speaker 7: Now cuts the ball towards the near corner of the
Speaker 7: six hook.
Speaker 29: Clan by Miller has done that a couple of times
Speaker 29: as the big es central defender for Portlands.
Speaker 7: SCAA tries to flick it around the corner.
Speaker 29: Picked her now by Parade it's far side the right
Speaker 29: strides parades Moscare in support go square into.
Speaker 7: Velder Anthony to his left.
Speaker 29: He gets it as a turn scurry collects the ball
Speaker 29: left corner of the eighteen yard box, marshalled well by
Speaker 29: Alex roldand Sounders back or step to the top of
Speaker 29: the eighteen yard box. Anthony has it, wriggles, free dress
Speaker 29: and cut the Balls's been disappointing as Anthony and those
Speaker 29: attacking areas a couple of loose passes loose touches are
Speaker 29: the wrong time for the leading goalscorer for Portland and
Speaker 29: it's gonna be in the hands of Stephen fry Steves
Speaker 29: that corny get here in the final fifteen minutes.
Speaker 26: Yeah, I think that's one of the Sounders at times
Speaker 26: are defended at there's been a Timbers then themselves down
Speaker 26: get into the one into.
Speaker 5: Really good positions.
Speaker 26: If they had a little bit more quantity tonight they
Speaker 26: could have really caused a sound of some serious stroug
Speaker 26: when they haven't as of yet. Of course, still time
Speaker 26: fifteen minutes here plus whatever we again at the time
Speaker 26: and it is still only one nil. Still with that
Speaker 26: early goal from Della Vega. The difference between the two
Speaker 26: sides here, it's certainly not been a vintage Sounds performance,
Speaker 26: but sometimes in a derby game, a rivalry game, this
Speaker 26: is what it takes.
Speaker 5: This is what you need.
Speaker 26: You don't want to be limping over the line off
Speaker 26: the Sounders have in the last five ten minutes from
Speaker 26: trending in the right direction. Tim is still carrying a thread,
Speaker 26: but their quality hasn't quite been there so far.
Speaker 7: Tonight, Steve, I'm just looking down.
Speaker 29: So it was a late equalizer of a Vancouver late
Speaker 29: winner for Austin in the final minutes of that one,
Speaker 29: skipped by Miami of course, a La Galaxy coming out
Speaker 29: of League's Cup. It was a two two tight towns
Speaker 29: Is leading two nil, gave up a late equalizer in
Speaker 29: that one. There's a little anxiety start to see it
Speaker 29: because they start set one, they'll leave fifty minutes to go.
Speaker 26: Hey, it does because you want to get that first
Speaker 26: one since the League Cup final, which was such a more.
Speaker 5: Meant to stay here to see and have at once Sis.
Speaker 5: That's on a player's mind.
Speaker 29: So can you get that victorys it goes Maso, can
Speaker 29: he tie things up?
Speaker 7: Be defended by Sermon just stood up really well and
Speaker 7: won the ball cleanly off Massoski.
Speaker 29: You had the ball top on the box, just couldn't
Speaker 29: quite create some space to take the shot.
Speaker 7: And here comes the Timbers. Now Sounders are retreating, getting
Speaker 7: a left men behind the balls.
Speaker 29: Mussoski just has a nibble file giving up quickly taken
Speaker 29: by Portland. Diallo with his left foot scooted out to
Speaker 29: this near side to Dacost who has been roaming across
Speaker 29: that number ten role as he's sit now moves Ala
Speaker 29: plays it back to Miller.
Speaker 7: Pull and the patience in their possession right now.
Speaker 29: Now the right hand signs Felder, well, this copyrighting audio
Speaker 29: cast of Major League Soccer may not be retransmitted, reproduce,
Speaker 29: or rebroadcast without the express written consent of Major League Soccer.
Speaker 29: That'll leave us at the end of the game, Shane
Speaker 29: O'Neill Jackson felt, till we're back to break everything down.
Speaker 29: Hopefully it's a celebration of sorts as the Sounders have
Speaker 29: continue to solidify their fifth position in the Western Conference,
Speaker 29: and we'll get to some more results coming out of
Speaker 29: the Western Conference today that changed things up in the
Speaker 29: top four of all goes over the top for Musotsky.
Speaker 29: Chasing things down does.
Speaker 31: Well turns just plays its square and Rock up wide
Speaker 31: open and the crowd urging.
Speaker 7: Mussosia played that boy, he didn't and it was good
Speaker 7: defending the end.
Speaker 5: But what a check he's got to play.
Speaker 26: I mean, it's so obvious that he almost caught it
Speaker 26: as if he had passed, because it's supposed to pass
Speaker 26: that situation.
Speaker 5: Masoski.
Speaker 26: I understand being a striker. I like selfish franklers, but
Speaker 26: there's some situations you do want the games asking for you.
Speaker 26: That's the yellow card and Msoski.
Speaker 5: Rothrock has a simple finish and he plays him across
Speaker 5: what I missed opportunity, and that's what Georgia gives you.
Speaker 5: Puts you under pressure and now get.
Speaker 6: It sounds a good free kick and a timmers player
Speaker 6: going into the book.
Speaker 7: Well Smith now stretching his calf muscles.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's a good sign.
Speaker 7: Well yeah, be think about it. You playing against Rothrock,
Speaker 7: who's like relentless.
Speaker 29: Then Dellabager comes across and does some stuff during his
Speaker 29: time on the film.
Speaker 7: Now he got Georgia. I mean, it's a defender's night there.
Speaker 29: I mean Smith has not played a ton of minutes
Speaker 29: in the last month or so. There's gonna be a
Speaker 29: triple change right now for.
Speaker 7: Port of Timbers. Chara is gonna make another appearance for
Speaker 7: the Timbers. So we'll see the changes. I all is
Speaker 7: gonna come off Chara on Mike for like switch Kelsey off.
Speaker 6: Year on.
Speaker 7: That's gonna change.
Speaker 29: Lassiter is gonna come on the field. We'll just get
Speaker 29: a confirmation of the player going off, and it's gonna
Speaker 29: be Ian Smith. Yes, so it's gonna laugh back. He's
Speaker 29: gonna come off the field to come to stretching his
Speaker 29: car muscles, probably thanking Phil Neville under his breath. Goodness
Speaker 29: him off the field, but here comes sound is now
Speaker 29: go short to Georgie. He'll step over by George to
Speaker 29: ten hours in like whipster to the middle to Alix,
Speaker 29: rolled on available to the back Rath Crock he goes there,
Speaker 29: more bounces rothrock plex.
Speaker 7: It set into the sixth headed clear, more bounces challenged
Speaker 7: well by Rusneck. He turned his baths to some referees.
Speaker 7: Flag goes up. I didn't think it was a foul,
Speaker 7: but it's gonna be an off side. It's gonna be
Speaker 7: a free kick for Courtland.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll just see he's a juble change field nev
Speaker 5: surely going for it.
Speaker 26: See what that changes, not just the shape but exactly
Speaker 26: where he slots his players in and their approach, sending
Speaker 26: two up top at the moment. Here Diego form a
Speaker 26: teammate of mind for more opponent, even in his advanced age.
Speaker 26: He's gonna bring you so much energy.
Speaker 5: The Sounders fans greeting him with a nice chorus on Bruce,
Speaker 5: which is appreciation for how great of a player he's been.
Speaker 5: It's probably in his last day.
Speaker 26: Say, but he gives you a lot of cover, lot
Speaker 26: of energy which allows you to send numbers forward.
Speaker 5: That's why he's come on ye most minutes.
Speaker 7: And he played in these two games to these two teams.
Speaker 7: I should say, Diego Chara or goes inside to rolled On.
Speaker 29: Can Sam's frying a second goal. Here as we get
Speaker 29: in the final ten minutes of this Cascadia Cup game
Speaker 29: between the Timbers and Bawland one nil, Sounders fans on
Speaker 29: their feet, full voice. Today good play by Rusnak finds
Speaker 29: rolled On striding forward left hand side.
Speaker 7: Is roth Rock gets it inside the eighteen yard box,
Speaker 7: says roth Rock. Good defended by Sermon.
Speaker 29: He came across, just cut out the pass that roth
Speaker 29: rot was maybe looking forward to try and find a teammate,
Speaker 29: forced Rothrock to say the shot, and they covered the
Speaker 29: shot deflighted corner.
Speaker 5: Gay, Yeah, we absolutely right.
Speaker 26: I think Rolick does the right thing there because he
Speaker 26: first he looks up when the runners isn't quite there.
Speaker 26: The defenders come in across. If you waste any longer,
Speaker 26: the space opportunity will be gone. So in the end
Speaker 26: goes for Bold. It takes a deflection sound, a sett
Speaker 26: for a corner, and it may come down to this.
Speaker 26: We'll just be a set piece, a moment of magic
Speaker 26: to get our second goal.
Speaker 7: It comes George Witten towards the back stake.
Speaker 29: It's gonna ski it all way through it as a
Speaker 29: roth Rock again relentless as we said, likes the ball
Speaker 29: and it's near side the right. Witten now by a
Speaker 29: really good delivery, had good shape and headed clear by sermon,
Speaker 29: but only finds the foot of Georgie just drops the
Speaker 29: shoulder on the left corner of the eten r box
Speaker 29: goes back and square to lay a good quick ball
Speaker 29: into rolled on out to the right to Alex right corner.
Speaker 29: The box ball comes in edit clear again by the
Speaker 29: thick frame of Sermon, who's been solid again as you mentioned,
Speaker 29: made his debut for the Timbers this time last year
Speaker 29: in the Timber Sounders last game of the season matchup,
Speaker 29: and he's been ever present in the back line.
Speaker 7: For Portland this year.
Speaker 29: As Finn Sermon and well Nevel was saying that they
Speaker 29: identified the search for a new center back in the offseason,
Speaker 29: but Simon stood up and didn't have to do that.
Speaker 29: As Paul goes into Lesovsky, Miller just pulls up Danny Nothing.
Speaker 7: They fell down under the challenge, but he did have
Speaker 7: really asked for anything hard want to give the referee.
Speaker 29: Fans asked for it, of course, and Pautland billed on
Speaker 29: their left hand side. Shar I guess his first meaningful
Speaker 29: touch Matta Miller down the line. It goes Willie Runner
Speaker 29: of DaCosta, headed away by Roldan victor by Anthony Foal
Speaker 29: given by.
Speaker 7: The referee on Christian Ordan.
Speaker 29: He's to slow things down a little bit and as
Speaker 29: they slow things down on the back line, we'll throw
Speaker 29: down to Michelle.
Speaker 30: Just a quick follow up on your note there about
Speaker 30: Diego Chara being the player who's played the most games
Speaker 30: and minutes of any player in this MLS series between
Speaker 30: Portland and Seattle, thirty six matches he started in and
Speaker 30: coming into today's match he had logged three thousand, two
Speaker 30: hundred and eleven minutes against the Sounders.
Speaker 7: That's incredible.
Speaker 29: One of players don't have that many minutes in games
Speaker 29: in their professional career, I said against one.
Speaker 7: Club, por goes forward one and well by Miller, who's
Speaker 7: played really well tonight as Mom Miller times a community
Speaker 7: of rattics.
Speaker 29: Paul whips in the necessary for the news, steps in
Speaker 29: the right ansize belt of his white foot team. Strike
Speaker 29: in the end by the Norwegian right corner of the box,
Speaker 29: easily collected by Fry, as you mentioned, coming up for
Speaker 29: the sound as a Ray Grea back at home an
Speaker 29: Emerald Queen casino pitcher.
Speaker 7: Luminfield to take on.
Speaker 29: Rail Salt Lake on Saturday, October eleventh at six thirty
Speaker 29: pm Pacific. Watch the match via the mlscson passing Apple

Speaker 29: rock up brilliantly comes in, gets clipped wins the ball
Speaker 29: and here is another double substitution for pauland throwing everything
Speaker 29: at this game, try to find a result.
Speaker 7: They know how important this result is.
Speaker 29: That last game of the season is against San Diego,
Speaker 29: who's sitting on top of the MLS standings. It's going
Speaker 29: to confirm comes off Da Costa, off Fernandez on, and
Speaker 29: then it's gonna be Felipe More of course, who scored
Speaker 29: goals against the Sounders in years past and Chile, and
Speaker 29: he's going to come on the field.
Speaker 7: We'll just confirm who's going to come off.
Speaker 29: Looking down, Steve, tough to see that one, but we'll
Speaker 29: get that to you in one second.
Speaker 7: As we kind of big Rimer reason on. That change.
Speaker 29: All goes along by the Sounders, challenged by Masoski, heads
Speaker 29: it inside, flick clear by Sermon, dropped off by Fernandez,
Speaker 29: Ora making a run in behind. Striding forward is Anthonys
Speaker 29: plays the ball in cut back, cleared by Roldan, then
Speaker 29: it picked up by Fernandez and gets that ricochet off Bell.
Speaker 29: It's gonna be a corner cake Bell that's gonna sprint
Speaker 29: over and take it. Final five minutes or so of
Speaker 29: the ninety Sounders needing one nil, here at Luminfield. First
Speaker 29: win for the Sounders that they can retain this lead
Speaker 29: since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 7: Here at home against the Timbers.
Speaker 29: One of up in the air by Feld that's going
Speaker 29: to drive it in this sign toward the middle of
Speaker 29: the six Paul bounced around, headed back back in, inflected
Speaker 29: top of the box. Find lassito back It goes to Shara.
Speaker 29: It's gonna clip it in or run made headed clear.
Speaker 7: By new headed back in, who goes.
Speaker 29: Up again, wins the headed ball all bounce around, finds Sermon,
Speaker 29: just pokes it out to this near sight.
Speaker 7: It's a lassiter, a scare available.
Speaker 29: Lastly goes inside on his right foot, rolls it out
Speaker 29: square to screw all the way across to Fernandez. Little
Speaker 29: drop on the shoulder Fernandez wore comes back. It's gonna
Speaker 29: float in. Disappointing delivery. There's gonna be a goal kick
Speaker 29: for the Sounders. Five minutes to go here the Sounders
Speaker 29: Timbers one nil Sounders and the score thing is presented
Speaker 29: by Properdent Swedish. This is one of those games's gonna
Speaker 29: roll up your sleeve time. You've mentioned GP many many times.
Speaker 29: He's down there about to come on he's the type
Speaker 29: of player you want.
Speaker 5: To try to close this one else smarts up.
Speaker 26: Yeah, sure, as to see women could see it being
Speaker 26: rough throat with and I don't know how exactly branch
Speaker 26: Fresser your adjust Maybe he just gets more bodies in
Speaker 26: the middle back. You want to get a calm presence.
Speaker 26: A guy's good in possession, good on the board, a.
Speaker 5: Guy's not gonna panic, not afraid to get stuck in
Speaker 5: which you might need as well. JP.
Speaker 26: He can still give you a few quality minutes. One
Speaker 26: of the best players in club history, of course, and
Speaker 26: bringing him on in this situation, I think it's needed.
Speaker 26: Putlands Senning five subs on. They're certainly going for it,
Speaker 26: so I'm not sure what the call is saved referee.
Speaker 26: It looks like it's going the Timber's way.
Speaker 5: And JB it's gonna before We're about.
Speaker 6: To find out here.
Speaker 29: Yeah, well, Rougher it is rough Rock and I will
Speaker 29: see another great shift, no industrious, and I think rough
Speaker 29: Frog is always gonna give you that.
Speaker 5: Quickly becoming a fan favorite.
Speaker 26: I heard he was the most popular guy at the
Speaker 26: Men in Blazers podcast in midweek and that least cup Gold.
Speaker 26: Of course, that whole week, the rough rock past mess situation,
Speaker 26: not a bad conbot to the and he's end up
Speaker 26: to it. And I think again today you see, you
Speaker 26: see he's just a.
Speaker 6: Guy who's gonna get things done in his own way.
Speaker 5: But this time certainly makes sense.
Speaker 26: Jap's gone in there centrally, JP, Christian and Labor sort
Speaker 26: of a three in front of that back four russknack
Speaker 26: in front of them, and then kind of let Georgie
Speaker 26: and Missoski make the runs behind.
Speaker 29: It comes that man misofsk making that running behind takes
Speaker 29: it go strike forward towards his white strikes.
Speaker 7: A good defending by sermon, just got enough. It deflects
Speaker 7: into the side netting.
Speaker 29: Oh no, that's a oh I mean, and there's Musosky
Speaker 29: throwing the ball and he's at the assistant.
Speaker 7: He's gonna be very air.
Speaker 5: You can't do that. Presidents there, he's been spoken to.
Speaker 5: But I understand the frustration that is a preachers there.
Speaker 29: I mean, if I'm sermon, I'm thinking I want to
Speaker 29: call it because that's that's a great defendant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is as bad of our scorn as you
Speaker 5: can get.
Speaker 14: There.
Speaker 26: Listen, it's been a well rough game, a system of
Speaker 26: freezing on well as well. You siffinitely can't miss them.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sounds playing almost like a box right now in
Speaker 7: front of the back four.
Speaker 29: As the ball gets scootered out to listen near side
Speaker 29: the left foot pauland the lasted ten yards from the end,
Speaker 29: they'll step over against Alex Good defended by Alex's.
Speaker 7: Forced lasses to go back to Chara.
Speaker 29: Referee gives a call to pauland from Masoski that's not
Speaker 29: gonna help his frustration level. Sounders to have eleven men
Speaker 29: behind the ball just camp down on top of their
Speaker 29: eighteen yard books have to grind this one out. Two
Speaker 29: minutes to go of the ninety Paul get out far
Speaker 29: side the right for Portland clows down by Danny Lade
Speaker 29: against his toe in ricochet and then there's an assistant.
Speaker 7: Referees flag up from the far side. It was the pass.
Speaker 29: There was the initial pass that got deflected, but it
Speaker 29: was a player in an offside position. That's going to
Speaker 29: allow the Sounders to burn off some more valuable seconds.
Speaker 7: So let's get you some of the results.
Speaker 29: As we mentioned, Minnesota's getting a really good three yearl
Speaker 29: win against lowly sporting Kansas City you've got a big
Speaker 29: rebuild it in the off season.
Speaker 7: You mentioned Austin one, Saint Louis three, Houston two, San
Speaker 7: Diego four. We kind of work our way up here.
Speaker 29: There's a number of games tomorrow, Vancouver, San Jose, LAFC,
Speaker 29: Atlanta tomorrow that should shake things up again.
Speaker 7: But the Sounders really control their destiny here in terms
Speaker 7: of where they landed the conference.
Speaker 29: They currently sit on fourteen nine points, five points off
Speaker 29: Austin in sixth position, five points off Portland and seventh position.
Speaker 29: If they can hold this, a good step by Alexis
Speaker 29: puts the ball into a Rosnak. Well, it's the ball
Speaker 29: in short, stepped in by Lassiter for I's gonna come out.
Speaker 29: It's not gonna quite get there, just about us by
Speaker 29: inches before I comes out. Just picks the ball up
Speaker 29: just inside an eighteen yard box. This is kind of
Speaker 29: when you need for Bryan sch.
Speaker 7: Metz just grind it out. It's not been the perfect
Speaker 7: performance in any way, but I've done enough to this point.
Speaker 7: Five minutes about it time.
Speaker 29: It's gonna get the ball of players up for it,
Speaker 29: and they've got plenty of time to find something in
Speaker 29: these final five minutes.
Speaker 7: But Rice Retch has made his defensive marks by bringing
Speaker 7: JP and Steve and it's.
Speaker 29: Kinda knocked out in the middle of the park and
Speaker 29: hopefully let the speed of newho Alex and the outside defense.
Speaker 26: Yeah, exactly, and now I'm gonna suit your level and
Speaker 26: if this holds in his post game, Noels will say
Speaker 26: he feels hard done by depending on off front four
Speaker 26: and they did well. But I think Stephi Fry makes
Speaker 26: a big left handed save in the first half which
Speaker 26: I think was.
Speaker 5: Just that was a huge saying it's it's as big
Speaker 5: as the golds Night.
Speaker 6: I mean, that was fantastic saved there.
Speaker 26: Yes, the shots a bit central, but at that paced
Speaker 26: cross range, what's a safe he made. It's a game
Speaker 26: saving save. And I think how sad of that is.
Speaker 26: Timbers have not tested Stephan Fry enough. What the Sounders
Speaker 26: have to do now is play the corners, win fouls,
Speaker 26: walk to everything, just take up frustrating the Timbers a minute.
Speaker 26: I's already gone off to crop there just from that
Speaker 26: throwing there, and I've think on your way to what
Speaker 26: would be a massive free points what the standings as
Speaker 26: you mentioned, but de morale I went after the leafs
Speaker 26: coup and then it really sets you up next week
Speaker 26: to get the win against or Lake, and then you
Speaker 26: see New York.
Speaker 5: You take weights, but it is in your old handrew.
Speaker 7: Distin the referee is not gonna.
Speaker 29: Youself on the Christmas card list, Hernie Sounders fanners.
Speaker 7: He gives the ball right back to Portland from a
Speaker 7: throwing things a deflection. I didn't see it, but he did.
Speaker 7: Sounders flick the ball up in the air. Good headed
Speaker 7: by Christian, rolled on because that's.
Speaker 29: Well by Rossnack. Clicked around the corner by JP. Good
Speaker 29: play by the Sounders midfield out for leftown side. He
Speaker 29: goes Sir Georgia just over three minutes to go of
Speaker 29: the five Sounders have the opportunity to close this one
Speaker 29: out almost player.
Speaker 7: Can await team, just be ugly and just see things out.
Speaker 7: As JP goes down, throw his arms up in the air.
Speaker 29: Good step by Christian, rolled on right hand side available
Speaker 29: as Labor Besoski takes a shot all down, nothing given
Speaker 29: by the referee. Advantage given, but maybe he should have
Speaker 29: been something given inside the eighteen to two. Georgia goes
Speaker 29: good play it cleared by Sermon, finds New gets his
Speaker 29: body between ball.
Speaker 7: And play it well, and then he shrugged off.
Speaker 29: It comes new good smart play plays ball and her
Speaker 29: role guard to Rosnow sound hassessing the ball.
Speaker 7: Well in the attacking third of the field.
Speaker 29: Two and a half minutes to go up the five
Speaker 29: sound As leading one Gold to nil here and loom
Speaker 29: in the field. This would all but solidify their fifth
Speaker 29: position in the Western Conference going into the playoffs.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna have home field advantage. We should set
Speaker 7: them up well for whoever's gonna come up next. But
Speaker 7: here come the tim But it's.
Speaker 29: Good play ball, bouncing around more strikes it right down
Speaker 29: the middle. It's got great defending by the Sounders and
Speaker 29: it found the foot of one of the talisman for Portland.
Speaker 29: But can only strike it down the middle and saved
Speaker 29: by fry Win. The final two minutes should have been
Speaker 29: a goal.
Speaker 26: That is as big of a let off as you
Speaker 26: can expect. You can't defend like that in the final
Speaker 26: couple of minutes of a game that means so much
Speaker 26: against a rival who means so much.
Speaker 5: It sounds a couple of times I felt and arrangement
Speaker 5: to something saying go to the corner. I know you
Speaker 5: want a second goal.
Speaker 26: Just take it to the corner just point time I
Speaker 26: can awaiting exactly and you're trying to find goals, get crosses.
Speaker 5: It gives them transition and more inside the box there.
Speaker 26: I mean he puts that either side of Steph Fry
Speaker 26: and we're looking at two point shopped again, headed.
Speaker 29: Up in the advice I meant from a long throw
Speaker 29: by rolled on down the line picked up by Paul
Speaker 29: and Miller's lasseter left hand side, plays it square into
Speaker 29: Shara Good, plot it down by rolled on.
Speaker 7: It's gonna scoot outside the eighteen, doesn't matter. Pray Pro
Speaker 7: knocks it down the line picked up in the middle
Speaker 7: of the park.
Speaker 29: By all of this, Rossneck says it got the ball
Speaker 29: and that's gonna be a yellow carch are going across
Speaker 29: having a word with Ross Neck.
Speaker 26: And it's taken ninety four minutes to see the kind
Speaker 26: of tackle that I has to see in the.
Speaker 5: First two minutes when it was rah On.
Speaker 6: I mean, he's taking that.
Speaker 5: You're gonna you're gonna hit someone in this kind of.
Speaker 26: Again to send a message. So he's taken night four
Speaker 26: minutes way its coming. Russnagnosways doing and the sound is
Speaker 26: just probably get putting in one more chance to knock
Speaker 26: the ball into the box. You defend this, you get
Speaker 26: through this, your home drag safe.
Speaker 29: Sounders want to see see out this final thirty seconds.
Speaker 29: Portland play still on the ground now gets pulled up
Speaker 29: by Craig pro. It's gonna be a free kick. All
Speaker 29: the big men are up Sounds holding the top of
Speaker 29: their eighteen yard box. This is probably the last opportunity
Speaker 29: of Portland, just depending at the refereees on anything else
Speaker 29: for that will stop it from an injury.
Speaker 7: But Craypo has got it for Sound.
Speaker 29: The Portland goalkeeper just inside his half of the field,
Speaker 29: Sounds holding about three yards outside their eighteen yard Boxfry
Speaker 29: just sitting outside is six just for any long ball
Speaker 29: that comes in that he can challenge. There's a lineup
Speaker 29: of Sounders and Portland players just outside the eighteen yard boxes.
Speaker 7: Oh maybe a red card.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not good.
Speaker 5: Once bought them one inside days not a player that
Speaker 5: you even want.
Speaker 29: Well, we just talked about what's the one player that's
Speaker 29: could all lay in the middle of the parking.
Speaker 7: It's ourself.
Speaker 5: Oh this is not good. Yeah, So referees reviewing now
Speaker 5: that Albert Russnak challenged there I believe on on Fernandez
Speaker 5: it was a rash challenge.
Speaker 26: You're trying to stop the counter attack, but came in
Speaker 26: studs first, ye from behind, and you always take a risk.
Speaker 26: And if they recommending that review, it's gonna be a
Speaker 26: very interesting gay for the.
Speaker 29: Sound Rossnak just taking a big breath of their hands
Speaker 29: on his hips. He stands outside the eighteen looking over
Speaker 29: his left shoulder to the referee, and it comes the referees' decision.
Speaker 7: I'm not quite sure what it is record that's a
Speaker 7: red card. So the referee was not gonna be in
Speaker 7: the good graces of any Sounders fan. And now he's
Speaker 7: gonna have to run out of the stadium.
Speaker 29: He has the red card to Rosnik and will at
Speaker 29: least to one game suspension.
Speaker 7: Now, Brian Schmittze's plans for ourself. First of all, I
Speaker 7: got to deal with this game. Put this one to bed.
Speaker 7: But Rosnik, you should be back for the New York game.
Speaker 29: But will that mean anything? At that time when the
Speaker 29: Sounds were he locked up fifth position. Wow, and that's
Speaker 29: not a good one. That was just an unfortunate red card.
Speaker 29: Referees getting screamed out by sermon.
Speaker 5: That's a couple of minutes.
Speaker 7: You have ask some added time. More comes in now
Speaker 7: to the back post. Jackson has to be strong. He does.
Speaker 29: He heads the ball away, whipped it by, cleared by
Speaker 29: Jonathan Bell. Danny Labor's gonna chase it down. The foul
Speaker 29: needs to be given.
Speaker 7: He just pushes it back and Lassiter another chance to
Speaker 7: proport it to Lord. Just one in.
Speaker 29: Sounders now down to ten men. Red card on Rosneck
Speaker 29: leading one goal to nil. With a minute past.
Speaker 7: The two minutes past the five war comes in top
Speaker 7: of the eighteen yard box, drops it in and it
Speaker 7: comes Anthony twenty.
Speaker 29: Five yards out. Has to go back to Moscarra to
Speaker 29: clip it in towards the back post. The cross comes
Speaker 29: new brilliant defending. Should be a foul, nothing given by
Speaker 29: the referee. Gods fought by Bell. It comes Labor one
Speaker 29: be one with Moscerra and Danny Massovski one on one
Speaker 29: with a goalkeeper.
Speaker 7: Takes a touch around. He goes to finish a tackle.
Speaker 7: Diego Tomorra, what tackle?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 7: Mask just delayed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the funds are claiming for a fight.
Speaker 6: It's not a foul.
Speaker 5: That is one of the best tackles I've seen in
Speaker 5: my life and the game's still going here. It's like,
Speaker 5: what a game one ending?
Speaker 7: Belda has it. It's gonna whipping him with his.
Speaker 31: Wife for really good delivery, are good defending, brilliant header?
Speaker 5: Well that's a references rusted.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: The game's off in trouble, his lusting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's lusty, wanted more time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's gonna run across. He got take a breath,
Speaker 7: he's gonna give to a high five and a half.
Speaker 5: You caught himself in time he lost to death.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what an ended all? What a tackle about Charley.
Speaker 29: He was It was a wonderful challenge Withsoski had a
Speaker 29: chance maybe to pull the trigger, just maybe he could
Speaker 29: feel the heavy breathing of Chari.
Speaker 7: Come behind him. He didn't, and he was Chari who
Speaker 7: went down. There's Portland players on their paunches.
Speaker 29: Knowing that today's game was all important when we think
Speaker 29: about the standings, but for today it was all Sounders
Speaker 29: when it comes to the result. They haven't won here
Speaker 29: since twenty seventeen. They get that monkey off bare back
Speaker 29: and they get another.
Speaker 7: Clean sheet for Stephan Fry. He's one hundred and twenty
Speaker 7: third clean sheet in his career. And the Sounders first
Speaker 7: win here.
Speaker 29: In eight years at home against their rival the Portland Timbers,
Speaker 29: and he was a sixteenth minute winner in the end
Speaker 29: by Della Vega on his return to the starting lineup.
Speaker 7: It seems that quite your final thoughts, Well.
Speaker 26: We came into the game saying, just get a win
Speaker 26: by any means. The Sounders did that didn't make it easy,
Speaker 26: made it interesting. Honestly that my mind goals the next
Speaker 26: week because you're missing so much in the midfield. Albert's
Speaker 26: redcard doesn't help. We'll see weapons during the week.
Speaker 6: You can maybe reviewed.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but Albert Christian oldbed likely will not
Speaker 5: be there. Chance for others. But that game still mean something.
Speaker 5: It is good. You've backed this three points in the bag,
Speaker 5: You've beaten a rifle, You've got a monkey off your back.
Speaker 6: The eight year drought is over.
Speaker 26: Good win for morale. But certainly didn't make it easy,
Speaker 26: but well deserved by the Sounders.
Speaker 29: Well, let's get you the standings before we jump off
Speaker 29: air and go to break San Diego. With their win
Speaker 29: go to sixty points, number one in the Western Conference
Speaker 29: and their inaugural season. Minnesota continue their great form and
Speaker 29: run this year they said in second with fifty eight points,
Speaker 29: Vancouver in third with fifty seven, and then we.
Speaker 7: Dropped down to LAFC with fifty three points.
Speaker 29: But they have three games in hand On Diego and Minnesota,
Speaker 29: so they can leap frog to sixty two points. Seattle
Speaker 29: sit in fifth, gets forty nine points. Now after that
Speaker 29: win two games to go, so they can creep up
Speaker 29: to fifty five point two with two wins out of
Speaker 29: the next two. Austin have two games remaining. They sit
Speaker 29: in sixth position with forty four points. Portland one game
Speaker 29: left on forty four and then Dallas on forty one,
Speaker 29: Salt Lake at forty, Colorado at forty. They kind of
Speaker 29: have the positions of eight, nine and ten, so mathematically
Speaker 29: those teams can certainly catch Portland. They have two games
Speaker 29: remaining to Salt Lake and Dallas pauland have one they
Speaker 29: go to high flying San.
Speaker 7: Diego, so that's gonna be a tough one for Phil
Speaker 7: Nevill and his team.
Speaker 29: But for now, we want to thank everyone involved in

Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: For the first time in too long, your Seattle Sounders
Speaker 2: have beaten the Portland Timbers at home, a one nothing
Speaker 2: win here at Loominfield. Pedro dale Vega scores in the
Speaker 2: sixteenth minute, speaking of sixteen, let's head down onto the
Speaker 2: field as Michelle Ludka is with number sixteen.
Speaker 4: Alex rolled on.
Speaker 30: Thank you Jackson, Alex A big three points for your
Speaker 30: squad here tonight.
Speaker 7: What worked well for the team?
Speaker 32: I think defensively we were super disciplined. You know, they're
Speaker 32: they're a really good team going forward, and I think
Speaker 32: we tried to contain them as best as we can
Speaker 32: and find our opportunity to maybe in the counter. And
Speaker 32: you know, we got one early in the in the
Speaker 32: first half, but we didn't really put our second chances
Speaker 32: away and so it became a difficult game because we
Speaker 32: put it.
Speaker 7: On ourselves that way.
Speaker 3: But luckily we were able to keep a clean shape.
Speaker 30: First regular season win against the Timbers at home since
Speaker 30: twenty seventeen, and your first ever here, what does it
Speaker 30: feel like to break that drought?
Speaker 32: Yeah, I mean we were due for a win against
Speaker 32: them here. Obviously there are are rivals, we know this.
Speaker 32: The history of this rivalry is huge, and so in
Speaker 32: front of our fans, we want to give them everything
Speaker 32: we can, and so we were due for it, and
Speaker 32: luckily we were able to get it in the most
Speaker 32: crucial of times with the last few games coming up.
Speaker 30: Pedro de la Vega had the lone goal tonight of
Speaker 30: the match and you, of course were on the assist
Speaker 30: of that. How crucial was the timing of that, not
Speaker 30: just for the tempo of this match and the outcome,
Speaker 30: but also for the return of day la Vega.
Speaker 32: Yeah, I think it was good for both the team
Speaker 32: and him. Obviously we were under it a bit in
Speaker 32: that first half and we were able to get that goal.
Speaker 7: And personally for him.
Speaker 32: He's a talented player and we need him to come forward,
Speaker 32: especially here in the playoffs, and we hopefully he finds
Speaker 32: his stride and momentum going into the last few games.
Speaker 30: Alex, thanks so much for the time. Congratulations not only
Speaker 30: on the cyst the big three points and.
Speaker 7: Best lect the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: Thank you Jackson back to you.
Speaker 2: Hey you Michelle al shouldan down there with Michelle as
Speaker 2: the Sounders celebratory here today a one nothing win over
Speaker 2: the Pearland Timbers.
Speaker 3: We welcome you into the.
Speaker 2: Postmatch show, Jackson Feltz and the former Sounders center back
Speaker 2: Shane O'Neill here for the next half hour breaking this
Speaker 2: thing down. Shane, that was a heck of a match
Speaker 2: for a game that endeds one nothing. This game could
Speaker 2: have ended with a much higher score line. What a
Speaker 2: game and what a win for the Sounders.
Speaker 4: What a win, Like you said, everything you could have
Speaker 4: asked for in a Seattle Portland derby match. Absolutely electric,
Speaker 4: great atmosphere as well, and such big plays made by
Speaker 4: players on both sides. I mean, a really impressive performance
Speaker 4: from Seattle to keep the clean sheet. But again you
Speaker 4: gotta tip your hat to the Timbers as well. They
Speaker 4: kept it super competitive and it was it was a
Speaker 4: great spectacle.
Speaker 3: Well, as we watched the whole game together, you know
Speaker 3: that I will never.
Speaker 2: Tip my hat to Parland Timbers. You know my feeling
Speaker 2: is on them from the last two hours watching this
Speaker 2: game together. No, I mean honestly so this game was
Speaker 2: absolutely wild down the stretch I could have maybe should
Speaker 2: have been a penalty shout for Seattle there late. I
Speaker 2: see by the look on your face you don't agree
Speaker 2: with that the center back of cars. But overall we
Speaker 2: saw some interesting decisions from the referee.
Speaker 3: I think that Sounder fans here in this building would
Speaker 3: agree with that. But overall, I think what you can.
Speaker 2: Look to, Shane is a second half, and we can
Speaker 2: talk about the first half, we can talk about the
Speaker 2: whole game that second half.
Speaker 3: You and I kept looking at each other and saying.
Speaker 2: Portland's on the front foot, Portland's feeling it, Portland's gonna score,
Speaker 2: Portland's gonna score. And I think the question is, despite
Speaker 2: the fact that they had so many promising moments. I
Speaker 2: have written down here, huge counter for the Timbers, they
Speaker 2: blow it. Huge moment for the Timbers, they blow it.
Speaker 2: Eighty third minute, huge counter for Portland, they blow it.
Speaker 2: They had so many opportunities and the Timbers failed over and.
Speaker 4: Over absolutely, And we talked about this against Vancouver. This
Speaker 4: felt like a playoff game. I've had that playoff intensity,
Speaker 4: that playoff bite, and so for the Sounders it you know,
Speaker 4: all you can ask for is three points in this game.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how it looks in the second half.
Speaker 4: All all you want to do is get out of
Speaker 4: these games three points and start building that momentum. Like
Speaker 4: you said, obviously Portland they had a couple of chances
Speaker 4: in the second half, especially on the counter, and they
Speaker 4: just couldn't execute, whether it was the final pass or
Speaker 4: getting the shot off. But credit to Seattle, they saw
Speaker 4: the game out and at this point in the season,
Speaker 4: that is all you're looking for.
Speaker 2: I feel like only you are gonna be able to
Speaker 2: answer this question as an impartial observer. We're I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna beeep pulled by the curtain. I love pulling by
Speaker 2: the curtain. Shane here.
Speaker 3: You know you're not from here and you played here,
Speaker 3: but you have this great impartial eye of telling it
Speaker 3: how it really is.
Speaker 2: And I mean, Diego Chara comes onto the field there
Speaker 2: in whatever it was, and I'm saying I hate Diego
Speaker 2: and you're like, he's an MLS legend and I'm like sure,
Speaker 2: but me like, I'm a fan first, I'm a fan
Speaker 2: only I just put I have a microphone in front
Speaker 2: of my face. I hate Diego char And it's one
Speaker 2: of those things where because you're impartial I think you're
Speaker 2: gonna be able to answer this question. Did the Portland
Speaker 2: Timbers blow a chance to get a point in this game?
Speaker 2: Or did the Sounders win themselves two extra points in
Speaker 2: this game?
Speaker 4: Well, I think you can honestly, I think you can
Speaker 4: look at that question both ways, because down the stretch
Speaker 4: knew who made some huge plays. Stephan Fry came up
Speaker 4: massive in the first half for this team, there was
Speaker 4: just a lot of plays. I mean, Massovski's running in behind.
Speaker 4: Obviously there was a few chances there probably should have
Speaker 4: put this game to bed, if we're being honest, I
Speaker 4: mean it should have been two nil good night. But
Speaker 4: I think Portland they held their you know, you can
Speaker 4: hold your heads high after this performance, but they really
Speaker 4: lack that that cohesion in the final third. It's a
Speaker 4: team that you can tell is sort of there's a
Speaker 4: there's a bunch of decent parts, but I'm not sure
Speaker 4: they kind of all interconnect their together. No, there's not,
Speaker 4: there's not that cohesion, and so I think, you know,
Speaker 4: obviously there's a few details there. But again you have
Speaker 4: to remember Yamar's out, so you know that's a big
Speaker 4: piece for Seattle and Jonavan Bell and Kim. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 4: guys stepping up so for for Seattle as well, because
Speaker 4: Kim had to come off at halftime, so Bell comes on,
Speaker 4: and you know, to keep that clean sheet is very important.
Speaker 4: And I knew who down the stretch was really really massive.
Speaker 4: He hit a huge performance.
Speaker 2: He certainly did, and and you got to credit Kim
Speaker 2: and John stepping up in those performances. Speaking of players
Speaker 2: stepping up, Travis, once you get that first highlight ready
Speaker 2: because it's time for our Toyota Man of the Match,
Speaker 2: you could easily go with Pedro. I'm not sure what
Speaker 2: it was in the stadium here Pedro scores the goal
Speaker 2: in the sixteenth minute, but I'm not gonna go Peter
Speaker 2: Dale Day and I think Shane we agree on this
Speaker 2: one because there were certain moments in this game, including
Speaker 2: a massive save in the thirty fourth minute.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 2: Stephen Fry came up massive for the Sounders on multiple occasions,
Speaker 2: including this great play.
Speaker 7: Bull goes in. Bull now played into the cost of
Speaker 7: top of the books that left.
Speaker 5: Foot all save.
Speaker 21: What's a save?
Speaker 31: Fine Fry the custum made his way into the eighteen
Speaker 31: yard books snap show with his left foot.
Speaker 7: It was heading into the net and then it was
Speaker 7: Fry who flung himself to his left, strong left hand,
Speaker 7: caught a kick. There's a goal.
Speaker 2: Tonight's toyert to the man of the match is Stephan
Speaker 2: frye your logo Toylet Dealers are proud to present tonight's
Speaker 2: man of the match and for Fry for the entire
Speaker 2: defense Chaine. But we'll talk about Fry specifically here. He
Speaker 2: was vintage Stephan Fry today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's two weeks in a row now. He's made
Speaker 4: an absolutely massive save. Obviously at the end of the
Speaker 4: Vancouver game. He's got that one where the ref's kind
Speaker 4: of in a snapshot right at the end. And this was,
Speaker 4: I mean, for viewers who are listening, this was sort
Speaker 4: of a half volley from inside the box on Dacosta's
Speaker 4: left foot. He smashes it and he it's just a reaction,
Speaker 4: unbelievable reaction with his hand to push it over the bar.
Speaker 4: And I mean, like, like Danny Jackson said, that was
Speaker 4: as good as a goal, because I mean you're looking
Speaker 4: at it and you're saying, oh, this is one one
Speaker 4: and he comes out with a massive save.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been in a thirty fourth minute
Speaker 2: Sounders taking the lead in the sixteenth and know what
Speaker 2: a difference this could have been, but instead it is
Speaker 2: a save and the Sounders hold strong defensively with some
Speaker 2: great step up moments in this game and win this
Speaker 2: one nothing final score over the Portland Timbers. Folks, I'll

Speaker 1: nine fifty kJ uh.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to lumin Field Seattle Sounders with a one
Speaker 2: nothing win tonight over the Portland Timbers. As we mentioned,
Speaker 2: the first time the Sounders have beaten Portland in quite
Speaker 2: some time here at Loomin Field. Just tremendous scenes and
Speaker 2: everybody exiting this stadium happy. Unfortunately, our friends to the
Speaker 2: South not exiting their stadium happy. But there is still
Speaker 2: game two tomorrow for the Seattle Mariners. But for the Sounders,
Speaker 2: they will have their next game coming up a week
Speaker 2: from tonight right here against Rialso we'll talk about that
Speaker 2: later on here tonight, but let's continue talking about this
Speaker 2: one nothing win for the Sounders over the Timbers. It's
Speaker 2: time for our Emerald Queen Casino play of the match.
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the sixteenth minute when peder dalea
Speaker 2: Vegas scores a great team goal.
Speaker 29: Brushneck has it, scrolls it into Forever Oh Black and
Speaker 29: run by Rolldog.
Speaker 7: It comes roll Don towards the end light.
Speaker 5: They dummit.
Speaker 31: Scots for the Sounders. He's back in the line up,
Speaker 31: back on the scores shit and the Sounds are right
Speaker 31: where they.
Speaker 7: Want to be, one nil up against the Timbus.
Speaker 2: The play of the match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino,
Speaker 2: the betting capital of the Northwest.
Speaker 3: Shane, what a play there, and we did it at halftime.
Speaker 3: Let's do it again.
Speaker 2: The breakdown of that pass by pass and how many
Speaker 2: people were involved to make that goal go in the
Speaker 2: back of the net.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it starts with the running from Paul Rothrock. I
Speaker 4: mean it's his calling card. His just the the intensity
Speaker 4: at which he runs in behind a defense. As a
Speaker 4: former center back, I can attest to it being a
Speaker 4: total nightmare to deal with. And so he gets in behind.
Speaker 4: Obviously Portland have to drop off. He finds I believe
Speaker 4: it was new who who finds Albert in between the
Speaker 4: lines and it was it's Albert's turn and pass into Haesus,
Speaker 4: which kind of sets the whole thing in motion. Alex
Speaker 4: Roldan great overlapping run, Jesus puts a nice pass in
Speaker 4: front of a nice weight for him to cross it
Speaker 4: and Dale Vega comes in and just smashes it home.
Speaker 4: Beautiful finish, and yeah it was. It was an unbelievable
Speaker 4: team goal.
Speaker 2: I mean that you look at team goals over the
Speaker 2: course of twenty twenty five, that'll certainly be up there.
Speaker 2: A great goal and obviously any goal that beats the
Speaker 2: timbers is gonna be remembered fondly, but that especially show
Speaker 2: so for all of those great moments. You know, Shane Pedro,
Speaker 2: Delvega plays, you know, sixty five minutes in this game
Speaker 2: and then comes off for Georgie Menungu and you know,
Speaker 2: pakam with Brian Schmester before the game, the conversation was
Speaker 2: just about seeing what he can give us coming back
Speaker 2: from that tendonitis in his knee and working through the
Speaker 2: pain that Pedro's working through and to get sixty five
Speaker 2: minutes out of him and a goal and the effort
Speaker 2: that he put in, it seemed.
Speaker 4: Like a great day for Pedro. It was. He was fabulous.
Speaker 4: I mean, he just had that spark and that little
Speaker 4: bit of electricity to his game. You know, obviously he
Speaker 4: can get away from a defender so well. He scores
Speaker 4: the goal, and remember early in the second half, he
Speaker 4: had that shot from just outside the box right over
Speaker 4: the bar. It really lifted the crowd. So was he
Speaker 4: was on it tonight and I just it was just
Speaker 4: the way he was moving about the pitch. He had
Speaker 4: that little bit of burth that you were hoping to
Speaker 4: see out of him, because when he has that, you know,
Speaker 4: change of pace and ability to drive it, guys, it
Speaker 4: changes the whole game for the Sounder.
Speaker 3: It certainly does.
Speaker 2: And you know, you look at him and going sixty
Speaker 2: five and you wonder if he can pull off another
Speaker 2: sixty five.
Speaker 3: And kind of keep that going, keep building on that missing.
Speaker 2: Albert Rusnak next week, we'll talk about that coming up
Speaker 2: in the next segment. But it seems like this team
Speaker 2: has the has the horses to be able to fill
Speaker 2: in for that seamlessly.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: But you know, for the overall this team, you know,
Speaker 2: we we spent in the last few weeks, Shane, you know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of been a i would say, running joke
Speaker 2: a little bit, saying, all right, the hangovers over, the
Speaker 2: hangovers over right? Yes, yes, yes, And we felt like
Speaker 2: the hangover was certainly over after Vancouver, but if there
Speaker 2: was any more doubt, it's absolutely in the rearview mirror now.
Speaker 2: And a win like this against your rival, coming after
Speaker 2: the last few games and being able to hold on
Speaker 2: to a one nothing lead all the way through, you know,
Speaker 2: from the sixteenth minute on.
Speaker 4: A win like this can catapult a team absolutely, and
Speaker 4: I think it's that next man up mentality that will
Speaker 4: be so important for this team tonight. You know, guys
Speaker 4: like Bell coming in and having a solid performance in
Speaker 4: the second half. Obviously Kim in the first half getting
Speaker 4: a nice runout. We talked about Knew who you know,
Speaker 4: he's kind of it's been a little bit of a
Speaker 4: hectic season, but he was massive down the stretch for
Speaker 4: the team. And so, you know, having guys come in
Speaker 4: and step up and step into new roles, obviously Russknack
Speaker 4: dropping back and still getting the win in such a
Speaker 4: big match and such a I mean, this was a
Speaker 4: great spectacle and so to get that win in this game,
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna give the team a ton of confidence.
Speaker 3: It certainly will.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite reads. I absolutely love this anytime
Speaker 2: the Sounders win. It's been a minute since we've been
Speaker 2: able to do this, and I'm so happy to be
Speaker 2: able to do this again. Right here, Shane, you know,
Speaker 2: the Sounders have won today, and when the Sounders win,
Speaker 2: you meet and everybody out there gets.
Speaker 3: To win tomorrow.
Speaker 2: All you have to do is down with McDonald and
Speaker 2: then tomorrow you can redeem your free McChicken with any
Speaker 2: purchase of two dollars or more at you locally owned
Speaker 2: and operated McDonald's restaurant, so you can do what I do.
Speaker 2: I've given this tip to all of the broadcast partners here.
Speaker 2: I've had people tell me what a great tip.
Speaker 5: This is.
Speaker 2: What you do is you purchase the Oreo mcflury or frankly,
Speaker 2: any mcflurry, and then you get the McChicken for free.
Speaker 2: Now what you do is you get some buffalo sauce
Speaker 2: on the side of the mcfluury, so you create like
Speaker 2: a buffalo McChicken, and then you have the mcflurry on
Speaker 2: one side. That's the cold, it's the sweet, and then
Speaker 2: you have the spicy McChicken that's the hot. I mean
Speaker 2: that combination of one after the other, and then McChicken
Speaker 2: comes free. It is absolutely heaven and you can get
Speaker 2: it when you down the McDonald's app today and check
Speaker 2: out the deals waiting for you, including that free McChicken
Speaker 2: tomorrow with any purchase of two dollars or more. Trust
Speaker 2: me on that it's a great tip. Sounders win one.
Speaker 2: Nothing over the timbers. We will talk about what's next.
Speaker 2: It will be RSL a week from tonight here at Lumenfield,
Speaker 2: and it will also be without Albert Rusnak will tell

Speaker 9: A message from sound Transit, you're listening to the home.
Speaker 1: Of Sounders fc SLES Sports Radio ninet fifty kJ I.
Speaker 7: Had there it is.
Speaker 2: We were not ending tonight's show without a little taken
Speaker 2: care of business. As the Sounders took care of business
Speaker 2: against the rival tonight, they built the bonfire, They burned
Speaker 2: Portland down, and they win one nothing tonight over the
Speaker 2: Timbers of Peter DALLEVEGGA goal in the sixteenth minute is
Speaker 2: the lone goal. It is the winner for the Rave
Speaker 2: Green tonight here at Lumenfield in their first win over
Speaker 2: the Timbers in too long.
Speaker 3: I don't even want to admit it.
Speaker 2: Wrapping up the postgame show here, Jackson felt Shane O'Neil
Speaker 2: time to take a look ahead at what's next for
Speaker 2: the Sounders and it is Real Salt Lake next Saturday,
Speaker 2: October eleventh. That is going to be a six thirty
Speaker 2: game and a Provident Swedish premat show of six o'clock
Speaker 2: right here on Sports Radio nine to fifty KJR AM
Speaker 2: SO nine to fifty AM at six pm next Saturday evening.
Speaker 7: Folks.
Speaker 2: You can also watch the match via MLS Season Pass
Speaker 2: on the Apple TV app and listen in Spanish language
Speaker 2: on l Ray thirteen sixty. Also mention that Sounders FC
Speaker 2: Soccer is presented by Provident, Swedish official healthcare partner of
Speaker 2: Sounders FC.
Speaker 3: All Right, Shane.
Speaker 2: In this next game, Albert Rusnak gets a red card
Speaker 2: in the what was about ninety second minute. I think
Speaker 2: we first off, this is gonna probably anger a few fans.
Speaker 2: I think that was a fair red card.
Speaker 4: Yes we I haven't seen the replay, but yeah, it
Speaker 4: seemed like.
Speaker 2: It reely bad tackle from behind and it just kind
Speaker 2: of screamed to me where I looked at you and
Speaker 2: instantly they gave a yellow and we kind of looked
Speaker 2: and I said, that looks like it's a red, and yes,
Speaker 2: it ends up being a red. So no, Albert Rusnak.
Speaker 2: So way I see it with Obed Vargas right now
Speaker 2: on international duty. Is doesn't change too awfully much. Jordan
Speaker 2: Morris up top, Pedro on the left, Paul on the right,
Speaker 2: Hayesusfrera in between him, and then Christian rolled on next
Speaker 2: to Snyder Burnell. Danny Leva, what do you feel about
Speaker 2: that spot?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Christian will be gone with the US whnty.
Speaker 2: The ladies and gentlemen, that's the answer. It's Danny Leva
Speaker 2: and Snyder Bernell going to be in a holy midfield.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I missed that one. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 3: so thank you for that.
Speaker 2: So Danny Leva and Snyder Burnell probably together there underneath
Speaker 2: the threesome of Pedro, Hey, Susan, Paul.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think you've got a lot of
Speaker 4: options if we're being honest, like I know it doesn't
Speaker 4: sound like it, but Alex Roldan has played down there
Speaker 4: in the past.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 4: Obviously you can kind of change the lineup depending on
Speaker 4: what Kim's substitution was there as a precautionary or something
Speaker 4: you could play with a three back. Obviously, you can
Speaker 4: mix and match and ultimately kind of like we talked
Speaker 4: about earlier, the next man up until Danny Lava looked
Speaker 4: great out there. He was buzzing when he came on. Obviously,
Speaker 4: I'm a big Danny Lava guy, so I love to
Speaker 4: see him get run and so I think if he
Speaker 4: slides in there, I think he would do great. And
Speaker 4: let's let's call it what it is. Ray Al saw
Speaker 4: it Lake at Home a team that's been, you know,
Speaker 4: kind of languishing all year. It looks like they might
Speaker 4: sneak into the playoffs if they get a couple of
Speaker 4: results down the stretch here. But RSL at Home is
Speaker 4: a game that you're gonna want to put together a
Speaker 4: statement performance going into the playoffs. So for me, I think,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously Christians a huge loss, but I still
Speaker 4: look at that game, you know, getting guys like Jordan
Speaker 4: up and running, and you know, I see it as
Speaker 4: a big opportunity for a young kid like Schneider, Bernell
Speaker 4: or Danny Lava to have a big performance because you've
Speaker 4: got so much experience around you and it's just such
Speaker 4: a solid team.
Speaker 2: If you have Kim and Jackson and Alex and knew
Speaker 2: who behind you Injesus and you know, Paul and Pedro
Speaker 2: ahead of putting Danny and Snyder in that of those spots.
Speaker 2: I think absolutely. But you look at up standings right now.
Speaker 2: You mentioned salt Lake. Right now, they're in ninth place
Speaker 2: right now forty points. They are just right over Colorado
Speaker 2: on a tiebreaker of wins, so they are just trying
Speaker 2: to hold onto that playoffs spot. Sounders right now, with
Speaker 2: this win, they've pretty much locked themselves into the five seed.
Speaker 3: Funny enough, they're at forty nine points.
Speaker 2: That's five points above sixth place Austin, and it's I
Speaker 2: mean it's four points below LAFC in fourth, but LAFC
Speaker 2: have two games at hand, so effectively, with this win,
Speaker 2: the Sounders are now the five seed. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: comfortable just wrapping it up saying the Sounders are the
Speaker 2: five seed. Now it's just a question who's gonna be
Speaker 2: the four seed? Who do the Sounders face there in
Speaker 2: the first round? But two games to go, Real salt
Speaker 2: Lake next Saturday here at Luminfield, and then decision Day
Speaker 2: is at New York City, So six pm Providence Swedish
Speaker 2: premat show next Saturday night here at lumin against Salt Lake.
Speaker 3: I want to think everybody with today's broadcast.
