Two teams that secured home wins in Week 1 meet at CenturyLink Field when the Seattle Sounders host Columbus Crew SC Saturday night.


Second-half substitute Jordan Morris struck for a brace as the Sounders rallied to defeat Chicago Fire FC Sunday at CenturyLink Field. Chicago's Robert Beric opened the scoring in the first minute after halftime. But Morris came off the bench to level in the 62nd minute before securing all three points with a stoppage-time winner.


Lucas Zelarayan opened his account on his MLS debut to lift Crew SC to a 1-0 win over 10-man NYCFC Sunday a MAPFRE Stadium. Maxime Chanot was sent off for DOGSO after clipping Zelarayan on his race toward goal. The Argentine playmaker then scored the decisive goal in the 56th minute, cutting inside a tackle by Alex Ring and slotting inside the far post.
