The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now well.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
For the first time in too long, your Seattle Sounders
have beaten the Portland Timbers at home, a one nothing
win here at Loomenfield.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Pedro de la Vega scores in the.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Sixteenth minute, speaking of sixteen, let's head down on to
the field. As Michelle Lutka is with number sixteen, Alex
rolled on.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Thank you Jackson, Alex A big three points your squad
here tonight. What worked well for the team.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I think defensively we were super disciplined.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
You know, they're a really good team going forward, and
I think we tried to contain them as best as
we can and find our opportunity to maybe in the counter,
and you know, we got one early in the in
the first half, but we didn't really put our second
chances away and so it became a difficult game because
we put it on ourselves that way. But luckily we
were able to keep a clean shape.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
First regular season win against the Timbers at home since
twenty seventeen and.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Your first ever here. What does it feel like to
break that drought?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, I mean we were due for a win against
them here. Obviously there are rivals, We know this. The
history of this rivalry is huge, and so in front
of our fans, we want to give them everything we can,
and so we were due for it, and luckily we
were able to get it in the most crucial of
times with the last few games coming up.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Pedro de la Vega had the lone goal tonight of
the match and you, of course were on the assist
of that. How crucial was the time of that, not
just for the tempo of this match and the outcome,
but also for the return of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Day la Vega.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Yeah, I think it was good for both the team
and him. Obviously we were under it a bit in
that first half and we were able to get that
goal and personally for him. He's a talented player and
we need him to come forward, especially here in the playoffs,
and we hopefully he finds his stride and momentum going
into the last few games.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Alex, thanks so much for the time. Congratulations not only
on the Cysts, the big three points and best left
the rest of this season. Bet you, Jackson, back to you, Hey.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You, Michelle.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Alex Schuldan down there with Michelle as the Sounders celebratory
here today a one nothing win over the Portland Timbers.
We welcome you into the postmatch show, Jackson Feltz and
the former Sounders center back Shane O'Neill here for the
next half hour breaking this thing down. Shane, that was
a heck of a match for a game that endeds
one nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
This game could have.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Ended with a much higher score line. What a game
and what a win for the Sounders.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
What a win, Like you said, everything you could have
asked for in a Seattle Portland derby match. Absolutely electric,
great atmosphere as well, and such big plays made by
players on both sides. I mean, a really impressive performance
from Seattle to keep the clean sheet. But again, you
gotta tip your hat to the Timbers as well. They
(03:15):
kept it super competitive and it was. It was a
great spectacle.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, as we watched the whole game together, you know
that I will never tip my hat to Pearland Timbers.
You know my feeling is on them from the last
two hours watching this game together. No, I mean honestly,
so this game was absolutely wild.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I could have maybe should have been a penalty shout
for Seattle there late. I see by the look on
your face you don't agree with that. The center back,
of course, but overall we saw some interesting decisions from
the referee.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I think that Sounder fans here in this building would
agree with that.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But overall, I think what you can look to, Shane
is a second half and we can talk about the
first half, we can talk about the whole game.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
That second half.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You and I kept looking at each other and saying,
Portland's on the front foot, Portland's feeling it, Portland's gonna score,
Portland's gonna score.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And I think the question is despite the fact that
they had.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So many promising moments, I have written down here, huge
counter for the Timbers, they blow it, Huge moment for
the Timbers, they blow it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Eighty third minute, huge counter for Portland. They blow it.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
They had so many opportunities and the Timbers failed over.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
And over absolutely, And we talked about this against Vancouver.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
This felt like a playoff game.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I've had that playoff intensity, that playoff bite, and so
for the Sounders it you know, all you can ask
for is three points in this game. It doesn't matter
how it looks in the second half. All all you
want to do is get out of these games three
points and start building that momentum. Like you said, obviously
Portland they had a couple chants in the second half,
especially on the counter, and they just couldn't execute, whether
(04:51):
it was the final pass or getting the shot off.
But credit to Seattle, they saw the game out and
at this point in the season, that is all you're
looking for.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I feel like only you were gonna be able to
answer this question as an impartial observer, We're I'm just
gonna beeep pulled by the curtain.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I love pulling by the curtain. Shane here.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You know you're not from here and you played here,
but you have this great impartial eye of telling it
how it really is. And I mean, Diego Chara comes
onto the field there in whatever it was, and I'm
saying I hate Diego and You're like, he's an MLS legend,
and I'm like sure, but me like, I'm a fan first,
I'm a fan only. I just put I have a
(05:27):
microphone in front of my face. I hate Diego char
And it's one of those things where, because you're impartial,
I think you're gonna be able to answer this question.
Did the Portland Timbers blow a chance to get a
point in this game? Or did the Sounders win themselves
two extra points in this game?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Well, I think you can, honestly, I think you can
look at that question both ways, because down the stretch
knew who made some huge plays. Yeah, Stephen Fry came
up massive in the first half for this team. There
was just a lot of plays. I mean Masofski's run
in behind. Obviously there was a few chances there probably
should have put this game to bed, if we're being honest,
I mean it should have been two nil good night.
(06:06):
But I think Portland they held their you know, you
can hold your heads high after this performance, but they
they really lack that that cohesion in the final third.
It's a team that you can tell is sort of
there's a there's a bunch of decent parts, but I'm
not sure they kind of all interconnect.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
They're not too clean together.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
No, there's not there's not that cohesion, and so I think,
you know, obviously there's a few details there. But again
you have to remember Yamar's out, so you know that's
a big piece for Seattle and Jonavan Bell and Kim. Yeah,
absolutely guys stepping up so for for Seattle as well,
because Kim had to come off at halftime, so Bell
comes on, and you know, to keep that clean sheet
(06:46):
is very important. And and I you know, knew who
down the stretch was really really massive.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
He had a huge performance.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He certainly did, and and you got to credit Kim
and John stepping up and those performances. Speaking of players
stepping up, Travis, once you get that first highlight ready
because it's time for our Toyota Man of the Match,
you could easily go with Pedro. I'm not sure what
it was in the stadium here. Pedro scores the goal
in the sixteenth minute, but I'm not gonna go Peter
Dale day and I think Shane we agree on this
(07:13):
one because there were certain moments in this game, including
a massive save in the thirty fourth minute. Here, Stephen
Fry came up massive for the Sounders on multiple occasions,
including this great play Bull.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Goes in Bull New played into the castle.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Some of the books that left foot all save.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What's a save?
Speaker 9 (07:32):
Fine Fry the custummate his way into the eighteen yard
books snap show.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
With his left foot.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
It was heading into the net. And then it was
Fry who flung himself to his left, strong left hand.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Caught a kick good as a goal.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Tonight's Toyota the man of the match is Stephan Frye
your logo Toyletdalers are prid to present tonight's man of
the match and for Fry for the entire defense Chane.
But we'll talk about Fry specifically here he was vinted
and fridayday.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Yeah, that's two weeks in a row now. He's made
an absolutely massive save. Obviously at the end of the
Vancouver game. He's got that one where the ref's kind
of a snapshot right at the end. And this was,
I mean, for viewers who are listening, this was sort
of a half volley from inside the box on Dacosta's
left foot. He smashes it and he it's just a reaction,
unbelievable reaction with his hand to push it over the bar.
(08:23):
And I mean, like, like Denny Jackson said, that was
as good as a goal, because I mean you're looking
at it and you're saying, oh, this is one one
and he comes out with a massive save.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, that would have been in a thirty fourth minute.
Sounders taking the lead in the sixteenth and know what
a difference this could have been. But instead it is
a save and the Sounders hold strong defensively with some
great step up moments in this game and win this
one nothing the final score over the Pearland Timbers. Folks,

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Seattle Sounders with a one nothing win tonight over the
Portland Timbers. As we mentioned, the first time the Sounders
have beaten Portland in quite some time. Here atlomin Field,
just tremendous scenes and everybody exiting this stadium happy. Unfortunately,
our friends to the South not exiting their stadium happy.
(13:10):
But there is still game two tomorrow for the Seattle Mariners.
But for the Sounders, they will have their next game
coming up a week from tonight right here against Rialso
we'll talk about that later on here tonight, but let's
continue talking about this one nothing win for the Sounders
over the Timbers. It's time for our Emerald Queen Casino
Play of the match. Let's go back to the sixteenth
minute when peder dalea Vegas scores a great team goal.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
Brusneck has it, scrolls it into forever Oh Black and
run by Rolldog.
Speaker 7 (13:36):

Speaker 9 (13:38):

the lineup, back on the score sheet and the Sounds
are right where they want to be, one nil up
against the Timbus.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
The play of the match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino,
the betting capital of the Northwest. Shane, what a play there,
and we did it at halftime. Let's do it again.
The breakdown of.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That pass by pass and how.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Many people were involved to make that goal go in
the back of the net.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
It starts with the running from Paul Rothrock. I mean
it's his calling card, his just the intensity at which
he runs in behind a defense.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
As a former.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Center back, I can attest to it being a total
nightmare to deal with. And so he gets in behind.
Obviously Portland have to drop off. He finds I believe
it was new who who finds Albert in between the lines,
and it's Albert's turn and pass into Haesus, which kind
of sets the whole thing in motion. Alex roldan great
overlapping run, Jesus puts a nice pass in front of
(14:38):
a nice weight for him to cross it, and dale
Vega comes in and just smashes it home. Beautiful finish,
And yeah, it was an unbelievable team goal.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I mean that you look at team goals over the
course of twenty twenty five, that'll certainly be up there.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
A great goal.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And obviously any goal that beats the Timbers is going
to be remembered fondly.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But that especially show so for all of those great moments.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
You know, Shane Ay, Dalevega plays, you know, sixty five
minutes in this game and then comes off for Georgie
Menungu and you know, pakam with Brian Schmeenzter before the game,
the conversation was just about seeing what he can give
us coming back from that tendonitis in his knee and
working through the pain that Pedro's working through and to
get sixty five minutes out of him and a goal
(15:19):
and the effort that he put in it seemed like
a great day for Pedro.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
It was. He was fabulous.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I mean, he just had that spark and that little
bit of electricity to his game. You know, obviously he
can get away from a defender so well he scores
the goal. And remember early in the second half he
had that shot from just outside the box right over
the bar. It really lifted the crowd, so he was
he was on it tonight, and I just it was
just the way he was moving about the pitch. He
(15:46):
had that little bit of burst that you were hoping
to see out of him, because when he has that,
you know, change of pace and ability to drive it. Guys,
it changes the whole game for the Sounder.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It certainly does.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And you know, you look at him and going sixty
five and you wonder if he can pull off another
sixty five and kind of keep that going, keep building
on that missing Albert Rusnak next week. We'll talk about
that coming up in the next segment. But it seems
like this team has the has the horses to be
able to fill in for that seamlessly. We'll talk about that,
but you know, for the overall this team, you know,
(16:18):
we spent the last few weeks Shane, you know, it's
kind of been a I would say, running joke a
little bit, saying all right, the hangovers over the hangovers
over right, Yes, yes, yes, and we felt like the
hangover was certainly over after Vancouver, but if there was
any more doubt, it's absolutely in the rearview mirror now.
And a win like this against your rival, coming after
(16:39):
the last few games, and being able to hold on
to a one nothing lead all the way through, you know,
from the sixteenth minute on.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
A win like this can catapult a.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Team absolutely, and I think it's that next man up
mentality that will be so important for this team tonight.
You know, guys like Bell coming in and having a
solid performance in the second half. Obviously Kim in the
first half getting a nice run out. We talked about
Knew who you know, he's kind of it's been a
little bit of a hectic season, but he was massive
(17:09):
down the stretch for the team. And so you know,
having guys come in and step up and step into
new roles, obviously Russnack dropping back and still getting the
win in such a big match and such a I mean,
this was a great spectacle and so to get that
win in this game, I think it's gonna give the
team a ton of confidence.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It certainly will.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Well.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
One of my favorite reads. I absolutely love this anytime
the Sounders win. It's been a minute since we've been
able to do this, and I'm so happy to be
able to do this again right here, Shane, you know
the Sounders have won today. And when the Sounders win,
you meet and everybody out there gets to win Tomorrow.
All you have to do is down on the McDonald's
app and then tomorrow you can redeem your free McChicken
(17:52):

locally owned and operated McDonald's restaurant. So you can do
what I do. I've given this tip to all the

great tip. This is.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
What you do is you purchase the Oreo.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Mcflury or frankly, any mcfluury, and then you get the
McChicken for free.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Now what you do is you get the.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Some buffalo sauce on the side of the mcfluury, so
you create like a buffalo McChicken, and then you have
the mcflurry on one side that's the cold, it's the sweet,
and then you have the spicy McChicken that's the hot.
I mean that combination of one after the other, and
then McChicken comes free. It is absolutely heaven and you
can get it when you down the McDonald's out today
(18:33):
and check out the deals waiting for you, including that
free McChicken tomorrow with any purchase of two dollars or more.

Portland down, and they win one nothing Tonight over the
Timbers of Peter d Levega goal in the sixteenth minute
is the lone goal. It is the winner for the
Rave Green tonight here at Lumenfield in their first win
(22:46):
over the Timbers in too long.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I don't even want to admit it.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Wrapping up the postgame show here Jackson felt Shane O'Neil
time to take a look ahead at what's next for
the Sounders and it is Real Salt Lake next Saturday,
October eleventh. That is going to be a six to
thirty game and a Provident Swedish premat show of six
o'clock right here on Sports Radio nine to fifty KJR
AM SO nine to fifty AM at six pm next
(23:12):
Saturday evening.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You can also watch the match via MLS Season Pass
on the Apple TV app and listen in Spanish language
on l Ray thirteen sixty also mention that Sounder's e
FC Soccer is presented by Provident Swedish official healthcare partner
of Sounders FC.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
All Right, Shane.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
In this next game, Albert Rusnak gets a red card
in the what was about ninety second minute? I think
we first off, this is going to probably anger a
few fans.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I think that was a fair red card.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Yes, I haven't seen the replay, but yeah, it seemed
like it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Reely bad tackle from behind and it just kind of
screamed to me where I looked at you, and instantly
they gave a yellow and we kind of looked and
I said, that looks like it's a red, and yes,
it ends up being a red. So no, Albert Rusnak
so way I see it with Obed Vargas right now
on international duty is doesn't change too awfully much. Jordan
Morris up top, Pedro on the left, Paul on the right,
(24:03):
Hayesusfrera in between him, and then Christian rolled on next
to Snyder Burnell. Danny Leva, what do you feel about
that spot?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Yeah, well, Christian will be gone with the US, won't he?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
The ladies and gentlemen, that's the answer. It's Danny Leva and.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Snyder Burnell going to be in a holy midfield. Thank
you very much. I missed that one. Yeah, you're right,
so thank you for that. So Danny Leva and Snyder
Burnell probably together there underneath the threesome of Pedro, Hey, Susan.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Paul, Well, I mean I think you got a lot
of options if we're being honest, Like I know it
doesn't sound like it, but Alex Roldan has played down
there in the past. You know, obviously you can kind
of change the lineup depending on what Kim's substitution was
there as a precautionary or something you could play with
a three back. Obviously you can mix and match and
ultimately kind of like we talked about earlier, the next
(24:52):
man up and tell you, Danny Lava looked great out there.
He was buzzing when he came on. Obviously, I'm a
big Danny Leva guy, so I love to see him
get get run and so I think if he slides
in there, I think he would do great.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
And let's let's call it what it is.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
Rail Salt Lake at Home a team that's been, you know,
kind of languishing all year. It looks like they might
sneak into the playoffs if they get a couple of
results down the stretch here. But RSL at Home is
a game that you're gonna want to put together a
statement performance going into the playoffs. So for me, I think,
you know, obviously Christian's a huge loss, but I still
(25:27):
look at that game, you know, getting guys like Jordan
up and running, and you know, I see it as
a big opportunity for a young kid like Schneider, Burnell
or Danny Lea able to have a big performance because
you've got so much experience around you and it's just
such a solid team if you.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Have Kim and Jackson and Alex and knew who behind
you and Jesus and you know, Paul and Pedro ahead
of putting Danny and Snyder in that of those spots,
I think absolutely. But you look at up standings right now.
You mentioned Salt Lake. Right now, they're in ninth place
right now, forty points. They are just right over Colorado
on a tiebreaker of wins, so they are just trying
(26:04):
to hold onto that playoffs spot. Sounders right now, with
this win, they've pretty much locked themselves into the five seed.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Funny enough, they're at forty nine points.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That's five points above sixth place Austin, and it's I
mean it's four points below LAFC in fourth, but LAFC
have two games at hand, so effectively, with this win,
the Sounders are now the five seed. I mean, I'm
comfortable just wrapping it up saying the Sounders are the
five seed. Now it's just a question who's gonna be
the four seed? Who do the Sounders face there in
the first round? But two games to go, Real salt
(26:33):
Lake next Saturday here at Luminfield, and then decision day
is at New York City, So six pm Providence, Swedish

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Pedro de la Vega scores in the.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Sixteenth minute, speaking of sixteen, let's head down on to
the field. As Michelle Lutka is with number sixteen, Alex
rolled on.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Thank you Jackson, Alex A big three points your squad
here tonight. What worked well for the team.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I think defensively we were super disciplined.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
You know, they're a really good team going forward, and
I think we tried to contain them as best as
we can and find our opportunity to maybe in the counter,
and you know, we got one early in the in
the first half, but we didn't really put our second
chances away and so it became a difficult game because
we put it on ourselves that way. But luckily we
were able to keep a clean shape.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
First regular season win against the Timbers at home since
twenty seventeen and.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Your first ever here. What does it feel like to
break that drought?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yeah, I mean we were due for a win against
them here. Obviously there are rivals, We know this. The
history of this rivalry is huge, and so in front
of our fans, we want to give them everything we can,
and so we were due for it, and luckily we
were able to get it in the most crucial of
times with the last few games coming up.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Pedro de la Vega had the lone goal tonight of
the match and you, of course were on the assist
of that. How crucial was the time of that, not
just for the tempo of this match and the outcome,
but also for the return of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Day la Vega.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Yeah, I think it was good for both the team
and him. Obviously we were under it a bit in
that first half and we were able to get that
goal and personally for him. He's a talented player and
we need him to come forward, especially here in the playoffs,
and we hopefully he finds his stride and momentum going
into the last few games.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Alex, thanks so much for the time. Congratulations not only
on the Cysts, the big three points and best left
the rest of this season. Bet you, Jackson, back to you, Hey.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You, Michelle.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Alex Schuldan down there with Michelle as the Sounders celebratory
here today a one nothing win over the Portland Timbers.
We welcome you into the postmatch show, Jackson Feltz and
the former Sounders center back Shane O'Neill here for the
next half hour breaking this thing down. Shane, that was
a heck of a match for a game that endeds
one nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
This game could have.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Ended with a much higher score line. What a game
and what a win for the Sounders.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
What a win, Like you said, everything you could have
asked for in a Seattle Portland derby match. Absolutely electric,
great atmosphere as well, and such big plays made by
players on both sides. I mean, a really impressive performance
from Seattle to keep the clean sheet. But again, you
gotta tip your hat to the Timbers as well. They
(03:15):
kept it super competitive and it was. It was a
great spectacle.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, as we watched the whole game together, you know
that I will never tip my hat to Pearland Timbers.
You know my feeling is on them from the last
two hours watching this game together. No, I mean honestly,
so this game was absolutely wild.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I could have maybe should have been a penalty shout
for Seattle there late. I see by the look on
your face you don't agree with that. The center back,
of course, but overall we saw some interesting decisions from
the referee.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I think that Sounder fans here in this building would
agree with that.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But overall, I think what you can look to, Shane
is a second half and we can talk about the
first half, we can talk about the whole game.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
That second half.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You and I kept looking at each other and saying,
Portland's on the front foot, Portland's feeling it, Portland's gonna score,
Portland's gonna score.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And I think the question is despite the fact that
they had.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So many promising moments, I have written down here, huge
counter for the Timbers, they blow it, Huge moment for
the Timbers, they blow it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Eighty third minute, huge counter for Portland. They blow it.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
They had so many opportunities and the Timbers failed over.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
And over absolutely, And we talked about this against Vancouver.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
This felt like a playoff game.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I've had that playoff intensity, that playoff bite, and so
for the Sounders it you know, all you can ask
for is three points in this game. It doesn't matter
how it looks in the second half. All all you
want to do is get out of these games three
points and start building that momentum. Like you said, obviously
Portland they had a couple chants in the second half,
especially on the counter, and they just couldn't execute, whether
(04:51):
it was the final pass or getting the shot off.
But credit to Seattle, they saw the game out and
at this point in the season, that is all you're
looking for.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I feel like only you were gonna be able to
answer this question as an impartial observer, We're I'm just
gonna beeep pulled by the curtain.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I love pulling by the curtain. Shane here.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You know you're not from here and you played here,
but you have this great impartial eye of telling it
how it really is. And I mean, Diego Chara comes
onto the field there in whatever it was, and I'm
saying I hate Diego and You're like, he's an MLS legend,
and I'm like sure, but me like, I'm a fan first,
I'm a fan only. I just put I have a
(05:27):
microphone in front of my face. I hate Diego char
And it's one of those things where, because you're impartial,
I think you're gonna be able to answer this question.
Did the Portland Timbers blow a chance to get a
point in this game? Or did the Sounders win themselves
two extra points in this game?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Well, I think you can, honestly, I think you can
look at that question both ways, because down the stretch
knew who made some huge plays. Yeah, Stephen Fry came
up massive in the first half for this team. There
was just a lot of plays. I mean Masofski's run
in behind. Obviously there was a few chances there probably
should have put this game to bed, if we're being honest,
I mean it should have been two nil good night.
(06:06):
But I think Portland they held their you know, you
can hold your heads high after this performance, but they
they really lack that that cohesion in the final third.
It's a team that you can tell is sort of
there's a there's a bunch of decent parts, but I'm
not sure they kind of all interconnect.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
They're not too clean together.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
No, there's not there's not that cohesion, and so I think,
you know, obviously there's a few details there. But again
you have to remember Yamar's out, so you know that's
a big piece for Seattle and Jonavan Bell and Kim. Yeah,
absolutely guys stepping up so for for Seattle as well,
because Kim had to come off at halftime, so Bell
comes on, and you know, to keep that clean sheet
(06:46):
is very important. And and I you know, knew who
down the stretch was really really massive.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
He had a huge performance.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He certainly did, and and you got to credit Kim
and John stepping up and those performances. Speaking of players
stepping up, Travis, once you get that first highlight ready
because it's time for our Toyota Man of the Match,
you could easily go with Pedro. I'm not sure what
it was in the stadium here. Pedro scores the goal
in the sixteenth minute, but I'm not gonna go Peter
Dale day and I think Shane we agree on this
(07:13):
one because there were certain moments in this game, including
a massive save in the thirty fourth minute. Here, Stephen
Fry came up massive for the Sounders on multiple occasions,
including this great play Bull.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Goes in Bull New played into the castle.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Some of the books that left foot all save.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What's a save?
Speaker 9 (07:32):
Fine Fry the custummate his way into the eighteen yard
books snap show.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
With his left foot.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
It was heading into the net. And then it was
Fry who flung himself to his left, strong left hand.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Caught a kick good as a goal.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Tonight's Toyota the man of the match is Stephan Frye
your logo Toyletdalers are prid to present tonight's man of
the match and for Fry for the entire defense Chane.
But we'll talk about Fry specifically here he was vinted
and fridayday.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Yeah, that's two weeks in a row now. He's made
an absolutely massive save. Obviously at the end of the
Vancouver game. He's got that one where the ref's kind
of a snapshot right at the end. And this was,
I mean, for viewers who are listening, this was sort
of a half volley from inside the box on Dacosta's
left foot. He smashes it and he it's just a reaction,
unbelievable reaction with his hand to push it over the bar.
(08:23):
And I mean, like, like Denny Jackson said, that was
as good as a goal, because I mean you're looking
at it and you're saying, oh, this is one one
and he comes out with a massive save.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, that would have been in a thirty fourth minute.
Sounders taking the lead in the sixteenth and know what
a difference this could have been. But instead it is
a save and the Sounders hold strong defensively with some
great step up moments in this game and win this
one nothing the final score over the Pearland Timbers. Folks,

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Seattle Sounders with a one nothing win tonight over the
Portland Timbers. As we mentioned, the first time the Sounders
have beaten Portland in quite some time. Here atlomin Field,
just tremendous scenes and everybody exiting this stadium happy. Unfortunately,
our friends to the South not exiting their stadium happy.
(13:10):
But there is still game two tomorrow for the Seattle Mariners.
But for the Sounders, they will have their next game
coming up a week from tonight right here against Rialso
we'll talk about that later on here tonight, but let's
continue talking about this one nothing win for the Sounders
over the Timbers. It's time for our Emerald Queen Casino
Play of the match. Let's go back to the sixteenth
minute when peder dalea Vegas scores a great team goal.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
Brusneck has it, scrolls it into forever Oh Black and
run by Rolldog.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
It comes roll Don towards the end light.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
They dummit it scores for the Sounders. He's back in
the lineup, back on the score sheet and the Sounds
are right where they want to be, one nil up
against the Timbus.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
The play of the match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino,
the betting capital of the Northwest. Shane, what a play there,
and we did it at halftime. Let's do it again.
The breakdown of.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That pass by pass and how.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Many people were involved to make that goal go in
the back of the net.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
It starts with the running from Paul Rothrock. I mean
it's his calling card, his just the intensity at which
he runs in behind a defense.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
As a former.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Center back, I can attest to it being a total
nightmare to deal with. And so he gets in behind.
Obviously Portland have to drop off. He finds I believe
it was new who who finds Albert in between the lines,
and it's Albert's turn and pass into Haesus, which kind
of sets the whole thing in motion. Alex roldan great
overlapping run, Jesus puts a nice pass in front of
(14:38):
a nice weight for him to cross it, and dale
Vega comes in and just smashes it home. Beautiful finish,
And yeah, it was an unbelievable team goal.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I mean that you look at team goals over the
course of twenty twenty five, that'll certainly be up there.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
A great goal.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And obviously any goal that beats the Timbers is going
to be remembered fondly.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But that especially show so for all of those great moments.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
You know, Shane Ay, Dalevega plays, you know, sixty five
minutes in this game and then comes off for Georgie
Menungu and you know, pakam with Brian Schmeenzter before the game,
the conversation was just about seeing what he can give
us coming back from that tendonitis in his knee and
working through the pain that Pedro's working through and to
get sixty five minutes out of him and a goal
(15:19):
and the effort that he put in it seemed like
a great day for Pedro.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
It was. He was fabulous.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
I mean, he just had that spark and that little
bit of electricity to his game. You know, obviously he
can get away from a defender so well he scores
the goal. And remember early in the second half he
had that shot from just outside the box right over
the bar. It really lifted the crowd, so he was
he was on it tonight, and I just it was
just the way he was moving about the pitch. He
(15:46):
had that little bit of burst that you were hoping
to see out of him, because when he has that,
you know, change of pace and ability to drive it. Guys,
it changes the whole game for the Sounder.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It certainly does.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And you know, you look at him and going sixty
five and you wonder if he can pull off another
sixty five and kind of keep that going, keep building
on that missing Albert Rusnak next week. We'll talk about
that coming up in the next segment. But it seems
like this team has the has the horses to be
able to fill in for that seamlessly. We'll talk about that,
but you know, for the overall this team, you know,
(16:18):
we spent the last few weeks Shane, you know, it's
kind of been a I would say, running joke a
little bit, saying all right, the hangovers over the hangovers
over right, Yes, yes, yes, and we felt like the
hangover was certainly over after Vancouver, but if there was
any more doubt, it's absolutely in the rearview mirror now.
And a win like this against your rival, coming after
(16:39):
the last few games, and being able to hold on
to a one nothing lead all the way through, you know,
from the sixteenth minute on.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
A win like this can catapult a.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Team absolutely, and I think it's that next man up
mentality that will be so important for this team tonight.
You know, guys like Bell coming in and having a
solid performance in the second half. Obviously Kim in the
first half getting a nice run out. We talked about
Knew who you know, he's kind of it's been a
little bit of a hectic season, but he was massive
(17:09):
down the stretch for the team. And so you know,
having guys come in and step up and step into
new roles, obviously Russnack dropping back and still getting the
win in such a big match and such a I mean,
this was a great spectacle and so to get that
win in this game, I think it's gonna give the
team a ton of confidence.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It certainly will.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Well.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
One of my favorite reads. I absolutely love this anytime
the Sounders win. It's been a minute since we've been
able to do this, and I'm so happy to be
able to do this again right here, Shane, you know
the Sounders have won today. And when the Sounders win,
you meet and everybody out there gets to win Tomorrow.
All you have to do is down on the McDonald's
app and then tomorrow you can redeem your free McChicken
(17:52):
with any purchase of two dollars or more at you
locally owned and operated McDonald's restaurant. So you can do
what I do. I've given this tip to all the
broadcast partners here. I've had people tell me what a
great tip. This is.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
What you do is you purchase the Oreo.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Mcflury or frankly, any mcfluury, and then you get the
McChicken for free.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Now what you do is you get the.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Some buffalo sauce on the side of the mcfluury, so
you create like a buffalo McChicken, and then you have
the mcflurry on one side that's the cold, it's the sweet,
and then you have the spicy McChicken that's the hot.
I mean that combination of one after the other, and
then McChicken comes free. It is absolutely heaven and you
can get it when you down the McDonald's out today
(18:33):
and check out the deals waiting for you, including that
free McChicken tomorrow with any purchase of two dollars or more.
Trust me on that it's a great tip. Sounders win
one nothing over the Timbers. We will talk about what's next.
It will be RSL a week from tonight here at Luminfield,
and it will also be without Albert Rusnak will tell
you how the Sounders can make up here with for

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We were not ending tonight's show without a little taken
care of business. As the Sounders took care of business
against the rival tonight, they built the bonfire, they burned
Portland down, and they win one nothing Tonight over the
Timbers of Peter d Levega goal in the sixteenth minute
is the lone goal. It is the winner for the
Rave Green tonight here at Lumenfield in their first win
(22:46):
over the Timbers in too long.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I don't even want to admit it.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Wrapping up the postgame show here Jackson felt Shane O'Neil
time to take a look ahead at what's next for
the Sounders and it is Real Salt Lake next Saturday,
October eleventh. That is going to be a six to
thirty game and a Provident Swedish premat show of six
o'clock right here on Sports Radio nine to fifty KJR
AM SO nine to fifty AM at six pm next
(23:12):
Saturday evening.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You can also watch the match via MLS Season Pass
on the Apple TV app and listen in Spanish language
on l Ray thirteen sixty also mention that Sounder's e
FC Soccer is presented by Provident Swedish official healthcare partner
of Sounders FC.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
All Right, Shane.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
In this next game, Albert Rusnak gets a red card
in the what was about ninety second minute? I think
we first off, this is going to probably anger a
few fans.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I think that was a fair red card.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Yes, I haven't seen the replay, but yeah, it seemed
like it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Reely bad tackle from behind and it just kind of
screamed to me where I looked at you, and instantly
they gave a yellow and we kind of looked and
I said, that looks like it's a red, and yes,
it ends up being a red. So no, Albert Rusnak
so way I see it with Obed Vargas right now
on international duty is doesn't change too awfully much. Jordan
Morris up top, Pedro on the left, Paul on the right,
(24:03):
Hayesusfrera in between him, and then Christian rolled on next
to Snyder Burnell. Danny Leva, what do you feel about
that spot?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Yeah, well, Christian will be gone with the US, won't he?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
The ladies and gentlemen, that's the answer. It's Danny Leva and.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Snyder Burnell going to be in a holy midfield. Thank
you very much. I missed that one. Yeah, you're right,
so thank you for that. So Danny Leva and Snyder
Burnell probably together there underneath the threesome of Pedro, Hey, Susan.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Paul, Well, I mean I think you got a lot
of options if we're being honest, Like I know it
doesn't sound like it, but Alex Roldan has played down
there in the past. You know, obviously you can kind
of change the lineup depending on what Kim's substitution was
there as a precautionary or something you could play with
a three back. Obviously you can mix and match and
ultimately kind of like we talked about earlier, the next
(24:52):
man up and tell you, Danny Lava looked great out there.
He was buzzing when he came on. Obviously, I'm a
big Danny Leva guy, so I love to see him
get get run and so I think if he slides
in there, I think he would do great.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
And let's let's call it what it is.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
Rail Salt Lake at Home a team that's been, you know,
kind of languishing all year. It looks like they might
sneak into the playoffs if they get a couple of
results down the stretch here. But RSL at Home is
a game that you're gonna want to put together a
statement performance going into the playoffs. So for me, I think,
you know, obviously Christian's a huge loss, but I still
(25:27):
look at that game, you know, getting guys like Jordan
up and running, and you know, I see it as
a big opportunity for a young kid like Schneider, Burnell
or Danny Lea able to have a big performance because
you've got so much experience around you and it's just
such a solid team if you.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Have Kim and Jackson and Alex and knew who behind
you and Jesus and you know, Paul and Pedro ahead
of putting Danny and Snyder in that of those spots,
I think absolutely. But you look at up standings right now.
You mentioned Salt Lake. Right now, they're in ninth place
right now, forty points. They are just right over Colorado
on a tiebreaker of wins, so they are just trying
(26:04):
to hold onto that playoffs spot. Sounders right now, with
this win, they've pretty much locked themselves into the five seed.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Funny enough, they're at forty nine points.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That's five points above sixth place Austin, and it's I
mean it's four points below LAFC in fourth, but LAFC
have two games at hand, so effectively, with this win,
the Sounders are now the five seed. I mean, I'm
comfortable just wrapping it up saying the Sounders are the
five seed. Now it's just a question who's gonna be
the four seed? Who do the Sounders face there in
the first round? But two games to go, Real salt
(26:33):
Lake next Saturday here at Luminfield, and then decision day
is at New York City, So six pm Providence, Swedish
premat show next Saturday night here at lumin against Salt Lake.
I want to think everybody with today's broadcast, a great
