Following the club's 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, Seattle Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas was named to Major League Soccer’s Team of the Matchday for Matchday 37.
Vargas’ defense was top tier on Saturday night, ultimately earning him a spot on the TOTM bench.
The Mexican international posted 12 recoveries, 5 interceptions, 2 clearances and 10 duels won during his 90 minute stint in the midfield. He also won 100% of his aerial duels. Vargas' defensive contributions helped push the team toward its 13th shutout of the season.
The Sounders return to action on Oct. 19 as they take on the Portland Timbers at Lumen Field on Decision Day (6 p.m. PT; Watch on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV).
