LINEUP NOTES:

  • Coach Schmetzer makes one change from the team that picked up a 2-1 win against Minnesota United on Saturday, with Raúl Ruidíaz replacing Will Bruin at striker. This marks the Peruvian's 100th appearance across all competitions since joining the Sounders in 2018.
  • Forward Fredy Montero, who scored three goals against León in the Quarterfinals round, has 10 career goals in CCL play, putting him level with Alvaro Saborio as the all-time leading scorer from MLS.
  • Defender Nouhou is suspended for tonight's match due to yellow card accumulation.
