RENTON, WASH. – Seattle Sounders FC continues its Leagues Cup 2024 campaign this week, hosting a Round of 16 matchup against Liga MX side Pumas UNAM on Monday, August 12 on the Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at Lumen Field (7:30 p.m. PT / Apple TV, FS1, UniMás, TUDN, 950 KJR AM, SiriusXM FC 157, El Rey 1360 AM).
The Rave Green advanced to the Round of 16 by defeating the LA Galaxy 3-1 in the Round of 32, with three members of Seattle’s backline all scoring in the contest, including twice in the first seven minutes.
Monday’s matchup is a rematch of the 2022 Concacaf Champions Cup Final that saw Sounders FC defeat the Mexican side 5-2 on aggregate, including a 3-0 home win, to claim the continental title. It marked the first time a MLS team has won the competition.
Should Seattle advance past Pumas, it would host its Quarterfinals matchup against the winner of LAFC and the San Jose Earthquakes, who face off in the Round of 16 on Tuesday, August 13 at BMO Stadium. Date and time of the Quarterfinals will be announced at a later date.
