The Seattle Sounders have had a successful season, and goalkeeper Stefan Frei has been a big part of that success. On Sunday, Frei set the Sounders’ single-season shutout record in a scoreless draw against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Frei made five saves in the match, including a crucial stop on a shot from San Jose’s Shea Salinas in the second half. The save was Frei’s 13th shutout of the season, breaking the previous record of 12 set by Kasey Keller in 2011.
The draw was the Sounders’ final home match of the season, and it was an important one for Frei and the team. With the shutout, Frei has now gone 587 minutes without conceding a goal at home, a new club record.
Frei has been a key part of the Sounders’ success this season. He has been one of the most consistent players on the team, and his ability to come up with big saves has been invaluable. His record-breaking performance on Sunday was yet another example of his quality.
The Sounders will now turn their attention to the playoffs. They are currently in second place in the Western Conference and have a good chance of making a deep run in the postseason. With Frei in goal, they will be confident of their chances.
The Sounders have had a great season, and Stefan Frei’s record-breaking performance on Sunday was a fitting way to end their home slate. Frei has been an important part of the team’s success this season, and he will be looking to continue his impressive form as the Sounders look to make a deep run in the playoffs.
