Quakes v Sounders

The Quakes hosted the Sounders in a weeknight matchup with both teams aspiring to play in the postseason tournament.  However, it was the visitors that ended up dominating the game with the Sounders winning 3-0.  The Quakes were doomed from the start thanks to an early goal from Raul Ruidiaz in the 25th minute.  His second tally from the penalty spot 17 minutes later to close the first half, plus an insurance goal from Cristian Roldan in the 49th minute sealed the win for Seattle.  Only an own goal from Shane O’Neil gave the Quakes their only tally of the match.

The select photos are forthcoming.

Quakes v Sounders

In a match dominated by very chippy play between the current top two teams in the West, it was the MLS Cup finalists that ended up getting 3 points on the road with the Sounders winning 1-0 over the Quakes.

The only goal of the match came off Cristan Roldan in the 18th minute off a botched defensive clearance.

The notebook was from the stands. Our only match has been the home opener so awaiting word on a return so for now–back to being fans/supporters in the stands.

Both teams have a short turnaround with the Quakes hosting Portland this Saturday May 15 7pm start, while the Sounders return home to host LAFC on Sunday May 16 at 6:30pm.

Clint Dempsey

On Wednesday Clint Dempsey announced his retirement from soccer effective immediately.  He caps off an illustrious career that started with the New England Revolution, then to Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League, and back to MLS with the Seattle Sounders.   He also has been a decorated player for the US National Team appearing in 3 World Cups, a Confederations Cup in 2009, the 2016 Copa America, and 5 Gold Cup tournaments.

As a tribute here are some photos from the vault – either from FootySF, QuakesFan, or in the stands courtesy of Nap.

 

Yes, he did play for Seattle in his later years and has been that thorn on the side of Quakes fans, but as one of the greats for the US National Team he has taken that club to greater heights.  His achievements ought to be applauded so, thank you Clint and the best of luck in the next career path.

Quakes v Sounders

Raul Ruidiaz made his debut for the Sounders with a bang with a goal in the 62nd minute.  That accounted for the only score of the game as Seattle defeated San Jose 1-0.  The loss continued the string of futility for the Quakes with only one home game win from opening night against Minnesota (March 3) and no wins since their road win, again over Minnesota (May 12).  The game also marked the MLS debuts for Guram Kashia and Luis Felipe.
