Jesus Ferreira (goal, assist) leads Sounders past Austin FC
Jesus Ferreira had a goal and an assist as the Seattle Sounders returned to MLS play with a 2-0 victory against visiting Austin FC on Saturday night. Danny Musovski also scored and goalkeeper Stefan Frei made one save in posting the shutout for the Sounders (8-6-5, 29 points), who snapped a five-match losing streak in all competitions -- with three of those coming against international powers Botafogo, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. Frei has 999 saves in his Sounders career, leaving him one shy of becoming just the second goalie in league history, behind only former Real Salt Lake standout Nick Rimando, to make 1,000 saves for a single franchise. Musovski snapped an eight-match scoreless streak in the 54th minute to give the Sounders a 2-0 lead. Ferreira sent a long lead pass to Musovski on the counterattack, with the forward dribbling the ball into the penalty area before putting a 12-yard shot through the legs of defender Oleksandr Svatok and off the inside of the left post. Ferreira opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time. The Sounders won a 50-50 ball just shy of midfield in their own end of the pitch and Albert Rusnak sent a pass down the left wing to Paul Rothrock. The midfielder drove into the penalty area before sending a cross to the far post for Ferreira, whose blistering volley from 5 yards out left All-Star goalkeeper Brad Stuver with no chance. Stuver made four saves for Austin (7-8-5, 26 points), which had a two-match winning streak snapped. The Sounders nearly took the lead in the 11th minute as Musovski put a shot from the left side of the penalty area between Stuver's legs, but the goalie got just enough of the ball that it deflected off the left post before ricocheting into the middle of the 6-yard box. Defender Guilherme Biro nearly scored an own goal on the rebound, with his attempted clearance bouncing off the same left post. Austin's lone shot on goal came after a Sounders turnover deep in their own end in the 34th minute. Brandon Vazquez's 17-yard shot was saved by a well-positioned Frei, who dropped to his knees to make the catch near the right post. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Danny Musovski seeks Sounders record in visit to LAFC
Danny Musovski scored five goals in his rookie MLS season with Los Angeles FC in 2020 and matched that in 2023 with Real Salt Lake. Through only 10 appearances and six starts for the Seattle Sounders this season, he's already equaled that total. The Moose is indeed loose. Subbing for the injured Jordan Morris (hamstring), Musovski has scored in five consecutive matches, tying a franchise single-season record, as the Sounders (5-3-4, 19 points) head into Wednesday's match at LAFC (5-4-3, 18 points). "Every day in training, I just try to put myself in dangerous spots and then I feel like it makes games a whole lot easier," Musovski said. "It's (also) definitely an element of going into the game calm (and) going into the game believing that you're going to score." It's been quite a turnaround for Musovski, who had just one goal in 24 appearances for the Sounders last season. "I have to tip my hat," Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said. "That kid has done a great job for this club. (He's) a great example of what happens when you work hard and you're prepared, and when you get your opportunity, you're prepared for your opportunity. So kudos to Danny Musovski." The Sounders are unbeaten in their past five matches (4-0-1) after a 3-1 victory Saturday at Houston, which had to play with 10 men after a red card late in the first half. Albert Rusnak scored twice in the opening 15 minutes after the intermission to break a 1-1 tie. LAFC is also riding a five-match unbeaten streak (2-0-3), though it was disappointed by a 2-2 draw Sunday at Vancouver after holding a two-goal lead on strikes by Mark Delgado and Dennis Bouanga in the opening 20 minutes. "I was pleased with the performance in most regards," LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo said. "It confirms our momentum and our pathway as a group. A lot of good and a very small few details from being very good. We'll try Wednesday to improve on those moments." The teams met March 8 in Seattle, with the Sounders coming away with a 5-2 victory.
