Sounders Host FC Dallas in Key Matchup at Lumen Field

SEATTLE, Washington — The Seattle Sounders FC will host FC Dallas at Lumen Field today at noon as part of their drive to secure a stronger playoff position in Major League Soccer.
Fresh off a three-game road trip, Seattle seeks to reclaim their momentum after earning only one point in their last two matches. The Sounders boasted a strong run, claiming a record of 4-0-1 in their preceding five encounters. FC Dallas enters the contest following a taxing 120-minute performance on Wednesday, where they were eliminated by the New York Red Bulls in penalties in the U.S. Open Cup.
Jesus Ferreira, returning to his role as the No. 9, and a struggling Dallas squad—having won just one of their last seven league games—are set to clash. Sounders Head Coach Brian Schmetzer will hope for a rebound from his team as they begin a three-game homestand, the first of ten upcoming home games.
Seattle will miss key players today, including Paul Arriola (knee), Jordan Morris (hamstring), and Jackson Ragen (hamstring). However, Danny Musovski, who has scored four of his five goals this season as openers, is expected to provide a vital contribution. Meanwhile, FC Dallas has its own injury concerns, as Luciano Acosta is suspended, and Sebastian Lletget and Léo Chú are both dealing with injuries.
Local radio coverage can be found on 93.3 KJR-FM in Seattle, along with their Spanish counterpart on El Rey 1360 AM. The match will be streamed globally in English and Spanish via the MLS Season Pass.
As the Sounders aim for playoff glory, every game becomes crucial. Midfielder Albert Rusnak, who netted his sixth league goal last week against Portland, will be the catalyst as they take on a Dallas team that has struggled of late. The upcoming match promises excitement as both teams look to gain momentum.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon PT, and while the match is not available for free streaming, fans can follow along through various channels.
