LINEUP NOTES:

  • Coach Schmetzer is deploying a 5-3-2 formation for tonight’s match with one personnel change to the starting XI from last weekend’s game against RSL, as Kelyn Rowe replaces Cristian Roldan.
  • Cristian Roldan is out for tonight’s match with left athletic pubalgia. The injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, but Coach Schmetzer is rotating him out of the squad this evening for rest and to further evaluate the injury.
  • With the start tonight, Alex Roldan now has 100 career MLS regular-season appearances since being drafted by Sounders FC in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft. He and his brother now become the first pair of siblings in MLS history to each log 100 career regular-season appearances while playing for the same club.
