Overview
- Seattle drew 1-1 with FC Cincinnati after Kalani Kossa-Rienzi scored an 83rd-minute equalizer to halt an eight-match MLS losing streak.
- Cincinnati took the lead in the first half through Evander, his 13th goal of the season, but could not convert a heavy shot advantage into a win.
- Seattle goalkeeper Andrew Thomas made seven saves to keep Cincinnati from breaking the draw and was central to preventing a ninth straight loss.
- The Sounders played short on key starters because of injuries and absences to attackers and defenders, a shortage that has driven their recent slide.
- The result hurts Cincinnati’s home points tally and leaves both teams under pressure in the playoff race as they manage congested schedules and roster decisions.
