The Seattle Sounders emerged victorious over St. Louis City with a 2-1 scoreline in a nail-biting encounter at CITYPARK.
Both teams brought a strong attacking approach to the game. Seattle had 53% ball possession and St. Louis City had 47%. St. Louis City's offensive strategy, however, was a little less effective. Despite having 22 total shots, only 5 were on target, compared to Seattle's 7 total shots, 1 of which was on goal. While Seattle Sounders had a lower number of shots, they proved more clinical.
The first half was largely quiet, with both teams trading chances but failing to convert. The match truly ignited in the second half. St. Louis City struck first in the 82nd minute, with a goal from Totland. It was a moment of real joy for the home team. However, Seattle showed their resilience, responding with two goals. The first, in the 69th minute, was scored by Morris, followed by an own goal in the 66th minute. These quick goals turned the momentum dramatically in Seattle's favor. There were some key substitutions made by both sides in an effort to turn the tide late in the game. Exciting plays and substitutions kept fans on the edge of their seats.
A couple of yellow cards were handed out, highlighting the intensity of the match.
Ultimately, Seattle's determination, and that clinical finish, prevailed in the final minutes. A great match with some tense moments throughout.
