Transcript

00:00Let's get into the starting 11 for the teams same 11 for Brian Schmetzer that were victorious over the LA Galaxies

00:07Cal State San Bernardino proud but keeping on Huerta on that left-hand side the most dynamic player right now in this tournament

00:14a lot of familiarity

00:18Of this Sounders team against Pumas they almost faced him in the 2021 leagues cup we'll get into that we are underway

00:24Okay

00:27Back for rubel cava from benevendo

00:30It is memote martinez three different players have played that number nine as that comes in from duarte on andrew thomas

00:37You're gonna enjoy watching him. He looks like he has slippers on when he's running quick little touch back

00:42vargas

00:44Taken back here by caicedo

00:46centers himself

00:49And thomas with the biggest save of the night

00:52Had a goal against the whitecaps and was involved in the second goal set it up

00:55It doesn't get an assist gets to the boundary

00:58Back to the oh, he set it on a platter from memote martinez

01:02at the back of the six

01:05in 2022

01:06With yaman as this one's played in the comb over header

01:11Martinez it was rivas who was in the middle there still there hit of a handball

01:18Redirected and pumas take the lead and you kind of saw it coming

01:23The peruano pierro guispe has put a stamp on this game and now he has the opening goal, but take another look

01:32As rubel cava initially hits that ball. You can see him leaning the virtual offside line

01:37You want to be touch tight

01:38But you don't want to be close enough where a guy like that can grab a hold of you and spin you like a time

01:42I'm getting a lot of mls after dark

01:44References all for the better time here for rusna

01:47Bar post for morris. It's actually in front

01:53Paul rothrock

01:57Blessed by his manager to be the guy

02:01To fill the gap for the sounders. He's doing more than that. He's scoring important goals

02:07seattle sounders in

02:092024 but paul rothrock took full advantage

02:13Coming off the bench and earning himself into the starting 11

02:17perfect service from albert rusnak and paul rothrock rises up like a salmon kiss header far post and

02:25Kisses the inside of that right post full stretch from gonzalez

02:30Not big enough to get the important touch around the outside of that right post as he has

02:36Essex erupted excelled here with this club ruvalcaba lines it up got good wood on it

02:53Could it be these defenders living large

02:58but also their defensive responsibilities understanding pusetto and huerta in transition moments can

03:03Be absolutely ruthless in favor of pumas

03:15Reclaiming that four which made him the hottest striker in male mls between may and july

03:22And here in august the goal that may give the sounders passage probably frustrated with the physicality of the marking tonight

03:31Jordan morris is in an on-site position

03:34Rubalcaba keeps him on and as albert rusnak gets the important touch header brings it down off his chest

03:40It's the half bounce on the left preferred left foot and that is a fantastic goal for jordan morris

03:49Just when he thinks the play is dead he recycles his run stays on side good touch and an important finish

03:55The skip off the surface he's in an on-side position and he gives the seattle sounders the tuna lead

04:04He's big

04:08Shakes fires

04:11Well, again, you see one of the most dynamic players in the conca cap region a manipulation of the opponent a manipulation of the

04:17referee

04:18And kind of this idea that you do everything that you can to make it difficult for your opponent

04:23Vargas down he goes penalty

04:28Obed vargas continues to take every right step in his development we point to the spot

04:35And obed vargas he starts deep

04:37He's in the top right hand corner as he inverts his run gets the touch gets away from the captain

04:42Gets goal side and it's the swing of the leg as well as the tug of the shoulder right there

04:48Simple call for joe dickerson. This counts as a set piece goal if they convert it

04:55They have three in the tournament

05:04There were questions about albert rusnak earlier this season

05:08Is he producing should he be starting for the sounders availability as well as the performance pretos?

05:15As he steps up the unique way he strikes the ball

05:20Set piece opportunity here for

05:24Drives it in far post kind of like what you're getting out of andrew thomas

05:29And that almost fans don't want to lose him but it seems like it's inevitable he wants to move to europe that one will drop

05:38Took a deflection off the new

05:41Heads off on a dead sprint hoping

05:43to get that elusive goal

05:45Homegrown, you can throw in christian rodon. Jordan. Morris homegrown

05:50I mean the system you can complain all you want about

05:54jordan mars

05:56For a second

06:10It's significantly different for pomace the history is still very much recent as he gets away from magajan

06:16He clips the heels goes to ground and jordan morris

06:19He doesn't see it

06:22It's that's exactly what we will have morris for his second

06:27And his third of league's cup he went three in the back and tried to throw numbers forward

06:32To try to get themselves back in this game and seattle has managed this

06:38Will probably go over six minutes busetto

06:41The fact that the sounders have four and have kept the sheets clean big cut there from fudes mori

06:49All right, brian spencer took risks tonight specifically leaving stephen fry on the bench going with andrew thomas in goal

06:58And to see the way that this group has managed

07:0190 plus six minutes here at lumen field
