Sounders Match MLS Record For Unbeaten Start, Tying Rapids
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Alex Roldan scored his first MLS goal and the Seattle Sounders matched the league record for games without a loss to open a season at 12, tying the Colorado Rapids 1-1 on Sunday night. The Sounders (7-0-5) tied the mark held by the Los Angeles Galaxy (1996, 2010), Kansas City (2000) and Real Salt Lake (2014). They will have a chance to break the record Wednesday night at home against Houston.
Roldan pounced on defensive miscue and scored on a right-footed shot from the right side of the area in the 41st minute. The goal was confirmed by VAR Review.
The Rapids (5-3-2) tied it in the 58th minute when Michael Barrios settled Sam Vines' cross, made a cutback into the middle of the area and finished a left-footed shot with a deflection.
