Lineup Notes:

  • Goalkeeper Spencer Richey, a Seattle native, makes his debut for Sounders FC, starting in goal in place of Stefan Cleveland.
  • Tonight's starting lineup sets a record for most most teenagers in a starting lineup in MLS history. Two clubs, FC Dallas and New York Red Bulls, have previously started four teenagers in one game.
  • Homegrown Player Josh Atencio slides back into the defense in place of center back Xavier Arreaga, who misses the match due to yellow card accumulation.
