Overview
- Aiden Hezarkhani netted his first MLS goal in the 23rd minute and Ariath Piol added a second just after halftime before Cristian Roldan pulled one back for Seattle in the 62nd.
- Goalkeeper Rafael Cabral made eight saves to secure the result, and a late Danny Musovski volley that would have tied the match was ruled offside.
- Juan Manuel Sanabria recorded an assist in his MLS debut, with Zavier Gozo and Philip Quinton providing the setup on Piol’s winner.
- Piol left late with a suspected Achilles injury and will be evaluated, while Seattle continues without Jordan Morris for an estimated 4–6 weeks due to a quad strain.
- RSL’s home dominance over Seattle continued with a 14-1-4 all-time record in Sandy and no Sounders regular-season win there since 2011.
