FredsKansas City came to Qwest Field on Saturday night and became the first MLS team to score on, and defeat the Sounders.

Playing with only 10 players for the final 60 minutes following a red card issued to Kasey Keller for an intentional handball, the Sounders maintained an offensive pressure through out the game.

Monroe native and Western Washington alumn, Ben Dragavon, an MLS hardship pool goalie replaced Keller.

However KC’s Davy Arnault was able to get a 35 yard blast past third string goalkeeper in the 80th minute.

Seattle drops to (3-1-0) and Kansas City moves to (2-2-0) on the young season.Seattle will head to Carson, CA next week to take on the Western Conference leaders, Chivas USA.

Sounders FC Lineup: Kasey Keller (x 31), James Riley, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Tyrone Marshall, Zach Scott (Sanna Nyassi 86), Sebastien Le Toux (Ben Dragavon 31), Osvaldo Alonso, Freddie Ljungberg (Steve Zakuani 81), Brad Evans, Fredy Montero, Nate Jaqua.

Other Recaps

  • Justo

    How will The Sounders ¨adapt¨ to grass?, it will be the first time SSFC will play on natural grass.

  • madmax

    LB Zach Scott seems to be having problems. Bring in Ianni or Sturgis, or put Le Teux back, my favorite so Nyassi and Zakuani get more wing time.

    Great performance 10 vs 11. Men of Match Jhon Kennedy and Freddie Ljunberg.

    the goal wasn’t scott’s fault, jaqua was on arnaud and just sort of gave up on marking him, he just jogged over to block the shot rather than running
