First Half: Early Blow and Musovski’s First
The match turned in Seattle’s favor in the 25th minute when a dangerous cross from Pedro de la Vega deflected off Galaxy defender Julián Aude and into his own net. The Sounders pressed aggressively from the start, forcing mistakes and winning second balls, leaving the home side unsettled.
In the 40th minute, Seattle doubled their advantage. Musovski latched onto a rebound after Novak Mićović parried the initial shot, tucking the ball home from close range. By halftime, Seattle had already registered 12 shots, compared to LA’s 4, and looked firmly in control.

Second Half: More from Musovski and a Debut Moment
The Sounders wasted no time in the second half. In the 54th minute, Musovski grabbed his second of the night, again reacting quickest after a rebound fell kindly to him. His brace underscored Seattle’s sharpness inside the box and LA’s inability to clear danger.
The final blow came in the 85th minute when Snyder Brunell, making his MLS debut, tapped in Alex Roldan’s low cross. It was a dream start for the 19-year-old, who capped off the Sounders’ most dominant away win of the season.

Post-Match Reaction
Greg Vanney (LA Galaxy head coach):
