Sounders FC reached a 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy in the first game with Brian Schmetzer in charge as head coach, now nine points below the red line in ninth place in the West.
- Kevin Molino scored two goals in a game for the first time in his MLS career, also adding an assist in Orlando City’s 3-1 win against the New England Revolution on Sunday evening at Camping World Stadium. The victory snapped a five-game winless run; Molino has three goals and three assists in his last three games.
- The win was also the first in charge for new Orlando City head coach Jason Kreis, the 101st of his MLS career as a head coach.
- In the first match with Brian Schmetzer in charge as head coach, Sounders FC reached a 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy at CenturyLink Field. Cristian Roldan scored the lone Seattle goal, his second goal of the season, both coming over the last four games.
