In the 16th minute, Rusnák laid the ball off to midfielder Obed Vargas at the top of the box where Vargas' deflected shot gave the Sounders the intitial lead. Then in the 43rd minute, Rusnák noticed goalkeeper Zack Steffen out of position and volleyed a rocket from distance to make it 2-0 for the home side.
