Overview
- Milan Iloski finished Frankie Westfield’s long pass in the 31st minute for the lone goal, extending his scoring run since the World Cup break.
- Neil Pierre made his first MLS start and helped start the sequence that led to the goal while Andre Blake produced the lone save to secure his third clean sheet of the season.
- The victory was Ryan Richter’s second straight since becoming interim coach and moved the Union off the bottom of the Eastern Conference, though they remain several points shy of the playoff line.
- Seattle suffered its fifth straight loss, a streak that ties the club record, with multiple injuries and Jackson Ragen’s suspension leaving the Sounders thin on available starters.
- The Union return to Subaru Park to face Atlanta United next Saturday as the club looks to build on renewed confidence and a steadier defense that produced consecutive wins.
