Overview
- Seattle beat San Jose 3-2 Wednesday on Osaze De Rosario’s 89th-minute header, pushing the Sounders’ unbeaten run to nine matches and their home streak to 22 in all competitions.
- Albert Rusnák leveled from the spot before halftime and Jesús Ferreira put Seattle ahead with a 75-yard solo break, while San Jose scored through Nick Fernandez and Preston Judd.
- San Jose arrived as Supporters’ Shield leaders on 29 points but played without Niko Tsakiris, who had groin surgery, and Timo Werner, who has a hamstring strain.
- The win gives Seattle 24 points and both of San Jose’s losses this season, reinforcing a profile built on elite defending and strong results at Lumen Field after recent draw-filled weeks.
- Hours later, San Diego snapped a nine-match MLS winless run with a 5-0 rout of Austin as David Vazquez scored his first two league goals and 19-year-old Duran Ferree kept a clean sheet, adding another twist to the Western race.
