ALUMNI OF THE MATCH – STEVE ZAKUANI
In honor of Seattle’s 50th anniversary this year, the team is honoring a club alumni at every home match, with Saturday’s match featuring winger Steve Zakuani. A member of the inaugural MLS team in 2009, Zakuani made 87 MLS appearances in his five seasons with Seattle, helping the club lift the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups. He tallied 18 goals and 17 assists during his time with the Rave Green in the regular season and playoffs, including 11 goals in the 2010 season.
A MAC Hermann Trophy finalist in 2008 at the University of Akron, Zakuani was selected with the number one overall pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. Following his retirement from professional soccer, Zakuani now works as an analyst for Seattle’s local radio broadcasts alongside fellow Sounders alumni Danny Jackson and Brad Evans.
