Sounders beat Minnesota 3-1, extend unbeaten streak to seven

The Seattle Sounders beat Minnesota United 3-1, extending their unbeaten streak to seven matches and moving back into the Western Conference playoff picture. Jordan Morris and Hassani Dotson scored in the first half, Minnesota’s Anthony Markanich pulled one back after halftime, and Paul Arriola sealed the win late; Albert Rusnák assisted twice. The victory was Seattle’s second straight after ending a club-record 13-match winless run, and it gave coach Brian Schmetzer his 150th MLS win. Minnesota, which finished September without a victory, lost its fifth consecutive match.
