LINEUP NOTES:

  • Coach Schmetzer makes one change from the team that picked up a 3-1 victory in the first leg against NYCFC, bringing on defender Nouhou, who missed the match through yellow card accumulation, for Kelyn Rowe at left back.
  • This marks Seattle’s second appearance in the SCCL Semifinals (2012-2013) and first-ever matchup with an MLS side in the Knockout Round of the tournament. The Seattle-NYCFC matchup is the first time two MLS sides have met in the SCCL Semifinals.
  • Cristian Roldan leads the 2022 Concacaf Champions League in assists with five.
