Minnesota United fall in Seattle

October 6, 2019 By Minnesota News Network

SOUNDERS 1, MINNESOTA UNITED 0

Roman Torres scored in the 29th minute and Seattle beat Minnesota to finish second in the Western Conference.

The Sounders (16-10-8) will host a first-round playoff game against FC Dallas. Minnesota (15-11-8), which started the day tied for second with Seattle, slipped to fourth and will host the Los Angeles Galaxy in the first round of the new single-elimination playoffs.

The scoring play started when Nico Lodeiro floated a corner kick from the left-wing side across the field. Joevin Jones picked it up in the right side of the penalty area, crossed a target ball toward the far post, and Torres – in his second game back from a 10-game suspension – ran onto it at the top of the 6-yard box. His header ricocheted off the turf and into the left side of the net past goalkeeper Vito Nannone.

Torres was suspended for 10 games at the start of August for violating the MLS substance abuse policy. The defender returned to action as a late-game substitute last Sunday in a 1-0 victory at San Jose and got the starting call Sunday.
