Hallisey is playing reserved after missing that shot. Should have set up two more goals by now. #SKCvSEA- 71'Attempt missed. Saad Abdul-Salaam (Sporting Kansas City) right footed shot from the right side of the box is high and wide to the right.
- 71'Attempt blocked. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Assisted by Benny Feilhaber.
Sounders have totally quit. This is unbelievable. #SportingKC #SKCvSEA- 68'Attempt missed. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from outside the box misses to the right. Assisted by Connor Hallisey.
Peterson missed that time, but if Seattle is going to continue that Bartleby defending, he'll get plenty more chances. #SKCvSEA
Peterson gets in 1v1 in tons of space and drags his shot just wide. Still 2-0 #SKCvSEA 68'- 67'
Attempt missed. Jacob Peterson (Sporting Kansas City) right footed shot from the right side of the box is close, but misses to the left. Assisted by Connor Hallisey following a fast break. 
If you can't finish that, I don't know what you can finish. We've released much better players than Hallisey. #SKC
CHANCE: Jacob Peterson is all alone but boots his shot wide left
It's raining yellow cards here. #SKCvSEA
63' Another chance goes begging! Peterson clips a wonderful ball across the face of goal to Hallisey, who puts it inches wide! 2-0 #SKCvSEA- 65'Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

Attempt missed. Connor Hallisey (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from the centre of the box misses to the right. Assisted by Jacob Peterson. - Three minutes of stoppage time. That's just mean. #SKCvSEA
Solid strike from Dom to earn a corner.... but Hallisey was in there. #sportingkc #SKCvSEA
CHANCE: Connor Hallisey goes far post but the shot goes wide- 62'Attempt missed. Jimmy Medranda (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from outside the box is close, but misses to the right following a corner.
- 61' Hallisey on his way again as he cuts past Scott, but Roldan is there to intervene at the top of the box. #SKCvSEA
- So that was, apparently, a shot for Seattle. #SKCvSEA
- 61'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Stefan Frei.
- 61'
Attempt saved. Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from outside the box is saved in the top left corner. Assisted by Saad Abdul-Salaam. 
SAVE: Dom Dwyer strikes from outside the box but Stefan Frei saves
Benny looks exhausted. Maybe Appiah gets on late? Though he didn't impress with SPR. #SKCvSEA- 59' Hallisey launches forward and spreads it wide right to Abdul-Salaam, but no one's on the end of his cross into the box. #SKCvSEA
That was uncalled for Jones. #SKCvSEA- 58'Hand ball by Jacob Peterson (Sporting Kansas City).
That's a red card. #SKCvSEA- 57'Foul by Joevin Jones (Seattle Sounders FC).
- 57'Roger Espinoza (Sporting Kansas City) wins a free kick in the attacking half.
- 57'D#33Joevin Jones (Seattle Sounders FC) is shown the yellow card.
At this point, the Sounders really look like they've completely given up. They are no longer just playing badly, they're defeated. #SKCvSEA- 55' Perfectly timed slide from the substitute Alfaro as he wins the ball from Peterson along the near touchline. #SKCvSEA
- You guys have had one bad year out of eight. Simmer down. #SKCvSEA https://t.co/QxI3ZS0F1f
- 55'Dominic Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) wins a free kick in the attacking half.
- 55'Foul by Tyrone Mears (Seattle Sounders FC).
Oh Deandre Yedlin, where art thou? said Sounders fans. #SKCvSEA- 55'Foul by Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City).
- 55'Cristian Roldan (Seattle Sounders FC) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
Jimmy Medranda is so special. #SKCvSEA
I feel like that is the worst goal I've seen this team ever give up. #SoundersFC #SKCvSEA
Jimmy Medranda continues to be MLS' best-kept secret. Having an all-star caliber year at LB #SKCvSEA
There is actually no way you can justify 2 center back subs at halftime when you’re losing. #SKCvSEA- Definitely never seen a team quit like this, live and in person. 3-0, KC. #SportingKC #SKCvSEA
Watching the replay, that through ball from Morris to Dempsey was fantastic. Great weighted ball. #SKCvSEA
- Nice move through Jones on the wing ends with Dempsey getting played through. Strong recovery tackle ends the chance. #SKCvSEA 49'
- 50'Offside, Seattle Sounders FC. Cristian Roldan tries a through ball, but Clint Dempsey is caught offside.
- 48' CRUCIAL slide tackle from @jimmymedranda to prevent Dempsey from pulling the trigger! A big-time defensive play in the box! #SKCvSEA
- Porter debuts #SKC, subbing for Peterson. If Seattle's level of "defending" continues, might not have to wait long for his first goal.
Sweating like crazy but worth it to see our boys winning! #SKCvSEA
You can't beat a perfect first time hit. #SKCvSEA https://t.co/7TE17vtExW
Sounders still without a shot attempt

Seattle, turning a break into a pass back into our own half. #SKCvSEA
I love Zus, but his crosses off the corner are always heading to Nebraska #SKCvSEA- 27'Offside, Seattle Sounders FC. Cristian Roldan tries a through ball, but Clint Dempsey is caught offside.
- 27'Tyrone Mears (Seattle Sounders FC) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 27'Foul by Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City).
Putting a ball over Ike Opara's head is a fool's errand. #SportingKC #SKCvSEA- 24'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Chad Marshall.
- Too often this year both SKC wingers have been stranded out near the edge of the 18. Got to get more into the box. #SKCvSEA
- That goal is why you need a goalscoring winger who gets into the box. Peterson's presence prevents Mears frm helping on Dwyer. #SKCvSEA
- 23'M#15Roger Espinoza (Sporting Kansas City) is shown the yellow card.
- 22'Cristian Roldan (Seattle Sounders FC) wins a free kick on the left wing.
- 22'Foul by Roger Espinoza (Sporting Kansas City).
- Seattle defense not really moving to mark anyone around/in the penalty area, and Dwyer has a wide-open header for 1-0. #SportingKC #SKCvSEA
- Garbage defending from Seattle. #SKCvSEA
- 21'1 - 0F#14GOAL: Dominic DwyerGoals this Season: 9
No shots for Seattle yet....shocking....not. No decisiveness, no flair on this team #SKCvSEA
Okay, get these boys some water!! They look like they're going to die! #SKCvSEA

- 12' SKC with the lion's share of possession early on, with Seattle conserving energy amidst this oppressive heat. #SKCvSEA
All Kansas City early, but scoreless through 10 minutes #SKCvSEA- Sounders looking incredibly organized today however, look like they showed up to play in their own 1/3. #SKCvSEA
View photoGo ahead and just give @Stefan24Frei Save of the Week right now for this beaut 🙌 #SKCvSEA https://t.co/UAiAOjsBq6
- 10'Attempt missed. Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City) right footed shot from outside the box is too high. Assisted by Dominic Dwyer.
- 8' Espinoza fires just wide! He pulls the trigger from distance and the low, sizzling shot is a foot beyond Frei's lefthand post. #SKCvSEA
- 8'Attempt missed. Roger Espinoza (Sporting Kansas City) left footed shot from outside the box is close, but misses to the right. Assisted by Graham Zusi.
- Zusi down injured… again, looks like he'll be coming off (40th minute). #SportingKC #SKCvSEA
- 7'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Joevin Jones.
- Best we've seen from Joevin Jones in a while there. Need him to take people on like that more. 38' #SKCvSEA
- 6' WHAT A CHANCE! Feilhaber with a brilliant diagonal ball to Peterson, who forces Frei into a strong reflex save at the near post! #SKCvSEA
- 6'Corner, Sporting Kansas City. Conceded by Stefan Frei.
- 6'
Attempt saved. Jacob Peterson (Sporting Kansas City) right footed shot from the right side of the box is saved in the bottom right corner. 
Sigi finally decided that starting Valdez wasn't a good idea. #SKCvSEA
What a goal Peterson! #SKC- That was a Jake goal, that was. #SKCvSEA
- Seattle is having a rough time in this heat. It's been this hot in KC for weeks. #SKCvSEA
SAVE: Stefan Frei goes 1v1 on Jacob Peterson and gets the save- It's so hot and humid no one can jump. #SKCvSEA
- Every opposing keeper in the league = Hallisey shot magnet. #SKCvSEA
Great cross, poor header. #SKCvSEA- Connor Hallisey. 👏 #SKCvSEA
- #SportingKC decked in all white, attacking the @KCCauldron here in the first half. Hosts enjoying an early spell of possession. #SKCvSEA
- Zusi, who came back today from hammy problems, comes out. Hallisey in for SKC. Looking like a precautionary sub; Zusi walking fine. #SKCvSEA
- My notes for Sigi, put in Remick, Jones to LM, Ivanschitz to RM, Herc out. #SKCvSEA
- 1'Cristian Roldan (Seattle Sounders FC) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
