Speaker 2: team in LEGA mchis right now zero total domination for
Speaker 2: the Seattle Sounders tonight as they move on in League's Cup.
Speaker 2: They have a date with either LAFC or the San
Speaker 2: Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, August seventeenth. We'll see you back
Speaker 2: here at Luminfield for the quarterfinals of League's Cup. Sounders
Speaker 2: made it to the final in this tournament a few
Speaker 2: years ago, and they saw on tonight and based on
Speaker 2: what they've done in these last couple of rounds, they
Speaker 2: seem hungry to get right back to the final where
Speaker 2: they were in Vegas a few years ago. What a
Speaker 2: winn here tonight for nothing. We're gonna celebrated for the
Speaker 2: next twenty thirty However, long minutes here on nine to
Speaker 2: fifty kjrim Jackson Felt's Helen Roe peak viewing for the
Speaker 2: postmatch show, gentlemen, that was about as complete of a win.
Speaker 3: Calen, I think, as we have seen all year, it
Speaker 3: was all around quality from the players, from the staff
Speaker 3: and the subs.
Speaker 4: And even the fans.
Speaker 3: Right, we saw a lot more fans, a lot more noise.
Speaker 3: It was incredible, and so I think this was a
Speaker 3: full performance from them, and I want to see it
Speaker 3: continue as they go and progress in this league Cup
Speaker 3: and play another MLS.
Speaker 5: Team offensively, defensively. Jackson, you said it as complete a game,
Speaker 5: the team defending. Now, this is a good Puma's team,
Speaker 5: you said at a moment ago there second the table
Speaker 5: legal X and we were good. Listen to me, we right,
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, I men, the Sounders were good.
Speaker 4: Keller, he had the pregame tactics already. What do you mean, well, Jordan.
Speaker 5: Morris, you know he doesn't get any last week, but
Speaker 5: he creates a lot of chances and he gets two
Speaker 5: today and he was terrific. His first goal, fantastic, earn
Speaker 5: the second goal and oh beed Vargas was really good.
Speaker 6: They were so good. The center backs were really good.
Speaker 3: To speak for five minutes on each player from the
Speaker 3: back line, Andrew Thomas coming in big, sometimes coming out
Speaker 3: of the ball, you had Jordan making runs, but really
Speaker 3: just for me, he was battling with those center backs
Speaker 3: all game and then finally got his chance because they
Speaker 3: had tired out. We found on the right balls. Look,
Speaker 3: it's all around. This was a quality performance. And something
Speaker 3: we said last time was this is an exciting game.
Speaker 3: This is an electric game again.
Speaker 4: Because Sounders are playing fun soccer. You could just something
Speaker 4: you want to watch and.
Speaker 6: You can feel it. You can feel it.
Speaker 5: You can feel in the crowd when the team's saluting them. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I agree with you, and I'll tell you they might
Speaker 5: be coming together even more right at that locker room,
Speaker 5: they're gonna look at each other. Lombardi has a great line,
Speaker 5: there's nothing better than lying in the locker room in
Speaker 5: the total exhaustion of victory. These guys put it out
Speaker 5: on the table today and they played against a team
Speaker 5: this Puma's Seattle rivalry is heating up right these The
Speaker 5: last three games they've had with each other have been
Speaker 5: for important, you know reasons, right advancing the tournament, winning
Speaker 5: a cup. But there's starting to be a boil between
Speaker 5: the two and the game ebbed and flow. There was
Speaker 5: a time where Pumas were kicking us getting all after.
Speaker 6: Us and killing your thought on.
Speaker 5: Alex rolled on right, but it kind of shifted it
Speaker 5: and then Seattle weathered it punched them back in the face.
Speaker 6: This was really a boxing match today.
Speaker 2: You know, and I think that leads us. Listen, we
Speaker 2: need to talk about the play of the match. And
Speaker 2: this is an entire conversation right now, because Mitchell, don't
Speaker 2: freak out.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna call for any highlights right now.
Speaker 2: It's just an entire conversation because I think obviously there's four.
Speaker 4: Goals, right.
Speaker 2: You have the Paul Rothrock header, you have Jordan Morris
Speaker 2: left footed missile and coming off of the header from Rusnak.
Speaker 7: You have two.
Speaker 2: Penalties, which I think overall the that's created the penalties
Speaker 2: where it's Christian laying off to Obed who's taken down
Speaker 2: in the box.
Speaker 7: And the physical nature we're.
Speaker 2: Talking about the physicality from Jordan, the physicality from the
Speaker 2: entire team to stand up to these guys, get in
Speaker 2: their faces, hit back. I mean that that obviously it
Speaker 2: was taking near a fight at the end of there,
Speaker 2: but it would all start with the physicality of Jordan
Speaker 2: being taken down in the penalty that he hits in
Speaker 2: the ninety fifth minute.
Speaker 7: There's all four of those goals.
Speaker 2: There was some great defensive plays and call we were
Speaker 2: just talking off the air in terms of what is the.
Speaker 7: Play of the match. It may not be any of
Speaker 7: those for you.
Speaker 4: No it's not.
Speaker 7: It's it's I believe it's a twenty eighth minute.
Speaker 3: It was Christian rolled On getting fouled and getting that
Speaker 3: extra bit of kick and he finally stood up and
Speaker 3: he said no more. And then you saw players run
Speaker 3: around like it was it was Alex Roldan, it was
Speaker 3: Joe Paulo, who is one of the nicest guys getting
Speaker 3: in people's faces. It's Yemar getting in people's faces. Is Rothrock.
Speaker 3: You know, when you play these teams that are gonna
Speaker 3: be chippy, they are going to be you know, savvy,
Speaker 3: as many would say. You know, they want to get
Speaker 3: in your head, but it's going to do it physically.
Speaker 3: You have to make sure you stand up. And I
Speaker 3: think once we did that, three four minutes later we
Speaker 3: scored our first goal, and then you saw the chippiness
Speaker 3: come back, and you saw everyone puff out their chest
Speaker 3: and say no, no, no, we'll take care of this
Speaker 3: our way.
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden four zero.
Speaker 5: I think that's what Brian Schmittzer will point out in
Speaker 5: the locker room, and it'll be one of the things
Speaker 5: he's most pleased with that is that they did not
Speaker 5: back down enrolled on.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we need I'm sorry, we need to stop
Speaker 2: and talk about what's going on right now. Our booth
Speaker 2: is right next to the booth for the Apple TV broadcasters,
Speaker 2: and our good friend Brian dun Seth Dunny is over
Speaker 2: here calling the game for MLS Season Pass.
Speaker 7: On Apple TV.
Speaker 4: He just showed us a Sounders post. Was that a
Speaker 4: Sounder Sounders post?
Speaker 7: That's exceptional?
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody, if whether you're listening to this in the future,
Speaker 2: a podcast very sad, very sad, it's a very sad cat.
Speaker 7: So the Sounders are very tested.
Speaker 2: A alternate Pumas logo that shows a frowny face.
Speaker 7: That's just an exception. That's pretty fine.
Speaker 2: So that's what we're just all reacting to this amazing
Speaker 2: social post by the Sounders.
Speaker 7: Well done to that entire crew, go ahead piece, So.
Speaker 6: You know, that's right.
Speaker 5: I think that's what I think that's what Brian will
Speaker 5: be most pleased about, because he's been looking for someone
Speaker 5: to step up. Christian was wearing the armband today, yep, right,
Speaker 5: and he hasn't been wearing it because Stephen Fries had
Speaker 5: the armband for so long.
Speaker 6: But I think he recognized I'm the kid now.
Speaker 5: He got kicked and I'm surprised that it could have
Speaker 5: gone to a red card, but Christian didn't back down.
Speaker 5: And then he had the support of his teammates. Andrew
Speaker 5: Thomas goes up for a cross, gets hit and Jackson Reagan,
Speaker 5: who I thought had one of his best games to play.
Speaker 5: So did Goms Andrade, so did the rolled On brothers
Speaker 5: on the right side. Everybody Rothrock knew who they it was.
Speaker 5: And Jordan Morris man it was so great. I know
Speaker 5: you text him after the game and he's like, hey,
Speaker 5: on to the next one, right. And he came in
Speaker 5: here no drop in confidence, wanting to get the ball.
Speaker 6: And I love that he took the penalty.
Speaker 5: Albert was off, but he drew the foul. It was
Speaker 5: for the fourth goal, and he did serve the penalty.
Speaker 5: He knew it, everybody knew it, and so and then
Speaker 5: he and then he buried.
Speaker 6: It with a lot of confidence. What a great performance.
Speaker 3: That's that's the quality that you have on this team
Speaker 3: as well, and the leadership that you're now seeing on
Speaker 3: this field. And I think something that was lacking when
Speaker 3: we had that little bit of a lack looks lesser
Speaker 3: start in the beginning of the season, was who was
Speaker 3: going to take control, who was going to be the leader,
Speaker 3: who was gonna, you know, step up and say no,
Speaker 3: this is our team.
Speaker 4: Let's just let's who's going to be.
Speaker 3: The one to everyone kind of comes around, and I
Speaker 3: think Christian did it.
Speaker 4: I think Jordan did it there at the.
Speaker 3: End when he he was the one that got taken
Speaker 3: down and he, you know, he calmly said what the heck,
Speaker 3: what are you doing here?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: And everything kind of started. But he then calmly put
Speaker 3: the ball in the back of the net. And that's
Speaker 3: the quality that they needed. When he comes in he
Speaker 3: misses eight chances last game, he has the quality and
Speaker 3: the understanding of the good professionalism to say, all right, well,
Speaker 3: tomorrow's a new day. I'm gonna put my chances away
Speaker 3: next time, and guess what, here's two tonight.
Speaker 7: We have a lot to get to.
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, there's there's there's
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a four nothing Sounder win. We move
Speaker 2: on to the quarterfinals in the League's Cup. Obviously we're
Speaker 2: all real happy right now. It's a good night Sounders

Speaker 1: nine fifty KJI whip Well get it by rough Rock
Speaker 1: Backer than that brilliant.
Speaker 14: Cross by Russ Snack and a wonderful header into the bottom.
Speaker 15: Corner from that man Paul Roth Rock sound as god Ron.
Speaker 6: Goal to nail.
Speaker 2: That's the goal that started its sound just kept going
Speaker 2: from there. Three in the second half, two of them
Speaker 2: via the spots, and they win tonight at Luminfield four
Speaker 2: nothing over Pumas of League Mchi's and they move on
Speaker 2: to the quarterfinals of League's Cup. A heck of a
Speaker 2: win tonight for your Sounders. They'll be playing on Saturday
Speaker 2: back here at Lumenfield against either San Jose or LAFC.
Speaker 2: Those two teams face off tomorrow night in the other
Speaker 2: round of sixteen game Jackson Kellen Pete here on the
Speaker 2: postmatch show. We heard the highlight there and you know,
Speaker 2: we had that discussion over you know, play the match
Speaker 2: when we started the discussion the last segment. I'd like
Speaker 2: to kind of continue that because just I get three
Speaker 2: minutes before that was the foul and Christian getting in
Speaker 2: the faces saying we're not gonna take it, We're gonna
Speaker 2: be physical, We're gonna punch you in the face two
Speaker 2: and you know, metaphorically, and then you've just a few
Speaker 2: minutes later you had that goal, and I always believe
Speaker 2: goals change games. I am on the side of that
Speaker 2: goal definitely set in the tone of yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 2: punch you in the face and then we're gonna score
Speaker 2: right after we do it. So for me, that's the
Speaker 2: play of the match because it really was kind of
Speaker 2: the first one that got it going.
Speaker 7: Callan you kind of you gave you a Nawson, I think.
Speaker 2: I think it's also very warrant to very spot on
Speaker 2: for why that moment in the twenty eight twenty ninth
Speaker 2: was also considered for Play the Match, Pete, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: let you be the tiebreaker.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna go with the guy who got the
Speaker 5: game winning goal because this was a.
Speaker 6: Back and forth game.
Speaker 5: They had a great opportunity where to on the right
Speaker 5: hand side, and he gets a good ball in and
Speaker 5: it's in Martinez, missus.
Speaker 6: The sidery sends it over the crossbar. We're on our
Speaker 6: heels a little.
Speaker 5: Bit, and that first goal changed the complexion of the game,
Speaker 5: and then they held on and they built from there.
Speaker 5: That was a good building block. The foul created the
Speaker 5: momentum for sale. But that was a fin what I
Speaker 5: loved about it. Right, and kids at home watch this part.
Speaker 3: It's a two B one there, Yeah, And they.
Speaker 5: Recognize that they have a number advantage, right, and so
Speaker 5: they play a little little two yard pass, commit the
Speaker 5: defender get around him, and then Albert has all that
Speaker 5: time and Paul Rothrock gets up and gets a great header.
Speaker 5: I'm perfect right just inside the post. Who was right behind.
Speaker 6: Him, Jordan Morris.
Speaker 5: But that that started the beginning of a long journey
Speaker 5: toward a four not to win.
Speaker 3: It's smart soccer players, right, you have to two of
Speaker 3: the smartes soccer players you have on the field right
Speaker 3: now with Joe Paulo and Albert Rusnak going, hey, they
Speaker 3: only sent one out here kind of looking at each
Speaker 3: other like, are you serious You're gonna give the you know,
Speaker 3: one of the leading assist makers in the league with
Speaker 3: Albert Rusnak.
Speaker 4: You're gonna give him that much time and space around
Speaker 4: the box? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: And like you said, you know Paul Rothrock getting up,
Speaker 3: this is not an easy header. He is in, He
Speaker 3: is in the mix of it. He is, you know,
Speaker 3: towards the six. It hits off him inside of the post.
Speaker 3: You know, any other day that may have skipped and
Speaker 3: hit the outside of the post, and may it hit
Speaker 3: the center of the post.
Speaker 7: It hits the inside of the postil.
Speaker 4: Guys, he does, doesn't he?
Speaker 3: But you know going back to my point, because I'm
Speaker 3: gonna really nail ahead.
Speaker 7: You have a good one.
Speaker 3: No, it is because you know that moment started the
Speaker 3: trip the ripple effect. It really did, and that was
Speaker 3: the moment that kind of started it all going. You
Speaker 3: saw the energy rise, and I think that's the energy
Speaker 3: that they needed to go through.
Speaker 4: I talked about in the pre games.
Speaker 3: See you know, I wanted the emotion to be taken
Speaker 3: out of the game, and I was wrong. I wanted
Speaker 3: the emotion to stay level, and they did sometimes in
Speaker 3: these games, especially against teams in the MX. It is
Speaker 3: it is all about matching the emotion and matching their physicality.
Speaker 3: And that's something that Christian finally did and everyone saw
Speaker 3: it and said, oh we can.
Speaker 4: We can do that. All right, let's continue to do it.
Speaker 4: And then you saw Puma's drop.
Speaker 3: From that moment, you saw Puma's drop and you saw
Speaker 3: Seattle get higher. It is that for me was the
Speaker 3: moment that changed the game. And that was my moment
Speaker 3: of the match.
Speaker 5: The antics didn't work that the film has tried to impose,
Speaker 5: because Seattle.
Speaker 4: We did it.
Speaker 6: Savviger got to the edge but didn't bite and go
Speaker 6: over the top.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that, you know, the whole element of
Speaker 2: the physicality rising, the challenge being there every punch. This
Speaker 2: really was a boxing match that just kept going and
Speaker 2: in the end it's you know, you know, it's a
Speaker 2: dominant win in the match, but at the same time,
Speaker 2: it did feel like a fight out there for so long.
Speaker 2: We have that to talk about wrapped into that is
Speaker 2: the man of the Match conversation. A lot more to
Speaker 2: get to as we continue the postmatch show Sounders with
Speaker 2: a ford a Nothing win over Pumas tonight here at Luminfield.
Speaker 7: They're on to the quarterfinals in League's Cup.
Speaker 2: We'll also tell you more about these specific details on that.

Speaker 2: hear Sounder fans I think outside the stadium still chanting
Speaker 2: and still going there.
Speaker 7: Listen.
Speaker 2: You know, we've kind of felt the energy in these
Speaker 2: crowds the last few games. There was a distinct rise
Speaker 2: in energy tonight. You hearing it after the game, you're
Speaker 2: seeing it throughout. It was different tonight, Kellen, Well, if.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of when I came back in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one and the stadium just started opening up, and
Speaker 3: so you slowly saw people gathering again and gathering again
Speaker 3: and gathering again. And then you get to the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two Championship League Cup and you're like, oh, this
Speaker 3: is a full stadium and the electricity is there, and
Speaker 3: I think you're starting to see the climb again where
Speaker 3: the electricity is back, the exciting football is back. It
Speaker 3: is it is around now that Seattle the Sounders are back,
Speaker 3: and that's what I'm that's what I'm feeling in that summer.
Speaker 4: Sounders is really coming together. Yeah, all right, well, we.
Speaker 2: Need to kind of get into the conversation of not
Speaker 2: only the man of the match, but also kind of
Speaker 2: the element of the physicality this match. And let's just
Speaker 2: rope in the conversation we were having a second before
Speaker 2: coming back on the air, and Pete, you said, what said.
Speaker 5: That the Sounders did not back down. They matched the energy,
Speaker 5: but they didn't lose control. Yes, they kept their emotions intact.
Speaker 5: They didn't do anything extra. There was no extra elbow
Speaker 5: and that's what the Pumas want to get out of that.
Speaker 5: And the Sounders played within themselves, matched it, pushed back,
Speaker 5: but didn't cross the line.
Speaker 2: And then you said, I think a really spot on thing,
Speaker 2: and Pumas didn't have an answer. It almost it almost
Speaker 2: felt like, you know, Pumas, no, hey, we're we're a
Speaker 2: physical team. We know we're physical league, et cetera, et cetera,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna punch you in the face. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if they expected the Sounders to punch back as.
Speaker 7: Hard as they did.
Speaker 4: Their antis want to smile through the blood, that's what
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 3: They didn't realize own, Oh no, yeah, you know, we
Speaker 3: we probably punched the wrong bear here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this is not gonna be good for us.
Speaker 3: And he also, you know, coach off the air here
Speaker 3: was saying, you know, our defense, we gotta we forget
Speaker 3: we shut out.
Speaker 4: We just shut them out.
Speaker 3: Like you know, they really didn't have that many chances.
Speaker 3: They had the goal that got called off sides. Uh
Speaker 3: you know, fair enough it was offside, so we're gonna
Speaker 3: give that and just throw it away. But otherwise, you know,
Speaker 3: Andrew Thomas had a few saves, but pretty much right
Speaker 3: at him. He had a few times where he had
Speaker 3: to come out and came out pretty strong in the crowd.
Speaker 4: Really well done.
Speaker 3: But Yamar Jackson, Alex Knew who when they came on
Speaker 3: read Bigger Whiting, Jonathan Bell. I'd give you know, Draw
Speaker 3: Paulo and uh An open Vargas huge credit as well
Speaker 3: because they they shined that that back line as much
Speaker 3: as possible. This was a good defensive performance.
Speaker 2: Which is why I'm going listen, I'm not gonna say
Speaker 2: that the team we saw on the broadcast that I
Speaker 2: believe it was MLS went with Albert Rusnak from Man
Speaker 2: of the match for me, defensively shutting them down. The physicality,
Speaker 2: the punching the face, being able to step up and
Speaker 2: make a tackle when you need it at most, usher
Speaker 2: a ball pass the end line Jamar Gomez Androtte.
Speaker 7: For me gets mad of the match. I thought he
Speaker 7: was exceptional tonight and he.
Speaker 2: Embodied that physicality, that smiling through the blood. Christian the
Speaker 2: same way too, but you know, just leading that back line.
Speaker 2: It's hard to narrow it down to one. But for me,
Speaker 2: my hat's off to Yamar. I thought he just had
Speaker 2: an amazing game. But Pete, I understand it. The right
Speaker 2: answer is probably Rusnak. Obviously the assists the goal. He
Speaker 2: was exceptional tonight as well. But who are you going with?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm with you on the Albert thing, and I
Speaker 5: just think everybody had such a great game. I was
Speaker 5: so pleased that Jordan Morris came back and got two goals. Yeah,
Speaker 5: right after not connecting.
Speaker 7: He gets a shout to water off a duck's back last.
Speaker 5: Week because he could have had three or four, and
Speaker 5: he comes back in this one. And the goal that
Speaker 5: he got the penalty kick on he deserved right, and
Speaker 5: the goal that he did score. Albert lays down a
Speaker 5: great header. He takes a great touch with his back
Speaker 5: somewhat to the goal and and he lays it down
Speaker 5: and then smacks it, smashes it. You said a missile,
Speaker 5: and it was a missile that went into the back
Speaker 5: of the net.
Speaker 6: That was goal number two.
Speaker 5: So what I'm proud about on that I mean, and
Speaker 5: I would give it to Albert as well. But Jordan
Speaker 5: Morris comes back, gets back on track, has complete confidence,
Speaker 5: gets the last two goals.
Speaker 6: You're up, Come on, come on.
Speaker 7: Here's why.
Speaker 4: You know, there's many reasons.
Speaker 3: Why, though, is when Albert came into this team in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. You know a lot of people were
Speaker 3: not so sure about him, but you don't realize Albert
Speaker 3: changed his whole game to fit to Seattle. You know,
Speaker 3: you had Rol Rudiez who was the guy. You had
Speaker 3: nicolo'dero who was the guy Christian rolled on, you had
Speaker 3: Job Paulo. He wanted to fit into the team to
Speaker 3: play that year we won a championship. Right, Albert has
Speaker 3: now given the freedom to play like he was, to
Speaker 3: play like the DP is the reasons and we got him.
Speaker 3: Now he has the freedom of being that DP. And
Speaker 3: you see the numbers skyrocket. He is the one that
Speaker 3: we go through. He is the reason we are scoring
Speaker 3: a lot of these goals. He is becoming the Albert
Speaker 3: Rusnak of old with maturity he is. He's really put
Speaker 3: together his game and fully rounded it out. And I
Speaker 3: think all the fans are now seeing the Albert Rusnak
Speaker 3: they wanted to see a few years ago but didn't
Speaker 3: know the work.
Speaker 4: That he put in to become that.
Speaker 3: And I think that is you see it in the
Speaker 3: past three four or five months that he's had an incredible,
Speaker 3: incredible little run. But another two assists and a goal,
Speaker 3: that's that's my manager.
Speaker 7: I actually looked it up.
Speaker 2: He has, I believe, six hundred and twelve assists in
Speaker 2: his last twenty games.
Speaker 7: It's a remarkable over.
Speaker 5: Now, that's a great point from kiln that's a player's perspective, right,
Speaker 5: because he did when you're.
Speaker 4: Saying that he hadn't he had to play a more
Speaker 4: defensive role.
Speaker 5: It was Nico's team, it was it was rules team,
Speaker 5: and he had to find his spot and he couldn't
Speaker 5: play to the position that he wanted necessarily, and we're
Speaker 5: seeing him getting better and better and better. You're off
Speaker 5: by a little bit on your stats, Jackson.
Speaker 3: Sure it's only six hundred and eleven, yeahsists in two games,
Speaker 3: but now you know nine assists.
Speaker 6: In the m mols.
Speaker 5: But he's got four so far in the in the
Speaker 5: League's Cup, so yeah, and then and they've been greatest
Speaker 5: Is and his corner cooks have been great.
Speaker 6: We all of a sudden, are goal dangerous a lot more.
Speaker 4: On set pieces pieces? What's going on there?
Speaker 3: What's seven goals by the way, you know, So I've
Speaker 3: always been told when I was a player that set pieces,
Speaker 3: both attacking and defensive, is all a mindset.
Speaker 4: It's all a mindset.
Speaker 3: Who's willing to put their body on the line to
Speaker 3: score the goal or to protect the goal. That is
Speaker 3: something that's happened. And you saw it with Yemar, you
Speaker 3: sat with Jordan. They they are willing to now put
Speaker 3: their body on the line and say, no, that's my ball.
Speaker 3: If I'm getting bumped, it's gonna be There's gonna be
Speaker 3: a lot of traffic in there. There's going to be
Speaker 3: you know, tugging elbows. There's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 3: things going on there.
Speaker 4: It's gonna hurt. But if it goes in the back
Speaker 4: of that hurts a little less.
Speaker 5: It's four goals on recent arts in the last two
Speaker 5: games to last game two. This one, Yeah, because Jordan
Speaker 5: Morris is it was a corner comes out. Yep, Albert
Speaker 5: knocks it back in and it's not the first. You
Speaker 5: don't have to score on the first one to consider
Speaker 5: it a restart goal. And then the two v one Yeah,
Speaker 5: yeah they are they are hitting on all cylinder.
Speaker 2: It feels like this feels like one of the nights
Speaker 2: where you're you're up late with friends and you're you're
Speaker 2: just having a grand all time and you're just telling
Speaker 2: stories and enjoying whatever you're enjoying, and uh and and
Speaker 2: the mar your mom and your parent comes by and says,
Speaker 2: turn off the lights. It's time to go to sleep.
Speaker 2: It's time for us to end this post game show.
Speaker 2: And I wish I could say up for another hour.
Speaker 2: Just I mean this, this was This was an incredible
Speaker 2: to night. I mean, I mean honestly, and and I
Speaker 2: think I think we nailed it in terms of the man.
Speaker 2: Albert was tremendous tonight, as was everybody else. About as
Speaker 2: complete of a win as we've seen in a long
Speaker 2: long time for nothing over a really a great Puma's team.
Speaker 2: This is a team that just went to Vancouver, a
Speaker 2: team that's a pretty good Vancouver white Caps team this year,
Speaker 2: and handle them to nothing and the sounder has just
Speaker 2: beat them for nothing, very very impressive win.
Speaker 7: They're moving forward to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
