Seattle, WASHINGTON – Austin FC fell in a 3-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday night at Lumen Field.
Seattle opened the scoring after 12 minutes. Nicolas Lodeiro feigned a shot before passing to Raul Ruidiaz, who finished from close range. Ruidiaz then completed a quick counterattack to double his tally and the Sounders’ lead in the 34th-minute.
