On Sunday, the Seattle Sounders defeated the LA Galaxy in a thrilling match at CenturyLink Field. The Sounders were led by forward Jordan Morris, who scored two goals in the 4-3 victory.
Morris opened the scoring in the 15th minute, when he received a pass from midfielder Cristian Roldan and fired a shot past Galaxy goalkeeper David Bingham. The Sounders then doubled their lead in the 25th minute, when Morris was able to get on the end of a cross from midfielder Harry Shipp and head the ball into the back of the net.
The Galaxy responded with two goals of their own in the second half, but Morris was able to put the Sounders back in front with a powerful strike from outside the box in the 70th minute. The Sounders then held on for the win, despite a late goal from the Galaxy.
Morris’ two-goal performance was a welcome sight for Sounders fans, as he had struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks. The 24-year-old forward has now scored four goals in his last three matches, and is beginning to show why he was named MLS Rookie of the Year in 2016.
The victory was also a big one for the Sounders, as it moved them into second place in the Western Conference standings. With just five matches remaining in the regular season, the Sounders will be hoping that Morris can continue his scoring form and help them secure a playoff spot.
Overall, it was an impressive performance from Morris and the Sounders, and one that should give them plenty of confidence heading into their next match.
