Seattle Sounders Win 1-0 Over FC Dallas with Late Penalty

The Seattle Sounders secured a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas with a late penalty kick by Albert Rusnák, marking his sixth goal of the season and fifth in five games. The penalty resulted from a handball call in the box following a free kick delivered by Rusnák after Alex Roldán was fouled. Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei made four crucial saves to maintain the clean sheet, celebrating his 400th appearance for Seattle earlier in the month. FC Dallas struggled offensively, having scored just once in their last four matches, and made several lineup changes due to a congested schedule. Rusnák's goal also made him just the second MLS player to record 25 goals and 25 assists for two different teams. The win moved Seattle to fifth place in the Western Conference, with their next match scheduled against San Diego FC.
