SEATTLE SOUNDERS vs D.C. UNITED
CENTURYLINK FIELD, Seattle, Wash.
July 3, 2015 (WEEK 18, MLS Game #178)
11 p.m. ET (UniMas)
A mouthwatering clash of table-toppers in each conference is ahead on Viernes de Fútbol as Seattle Sounders FC play host to D.C. United at CenturyLink Field. Sounders FC are looking to put the halt on a three-game losing skid which has dropped them into second place in the Western Conference, coming home off a 4-1 defeat at arch-rivals Portland Timbers last weekend. United are continuing their road swing as the Eastern Conference and MLS overall leaders, after their scoreless draw at Toronto FC last Saturday.
