The Seattle Sounders faced Uruguayan perennial powerhouse Club Atlético Peñarol in a closed-door scrimmage as they ramp up their preparations for the 2020 season.

Playing three, 30-minute intervals with wholesale changes at each break, the Sounders fell 1-0 as the Uruguayans took the lead in the 37th minute courtesy of a knuckling free kick.

With a team made up largely of Academy and Tacoma Defiance prospects against first team players for Peñarol, the Sounders dominated possession and carved out several chances to equalize.

The Seattle Sounders dispatched USL Championship side Sacramento Republic 3-0 in a closed-door, 120-minute scrimmage at CenturyLink Field on Wednesday.

Fielding a strong Starting XI for the first 75 minutes of the fixture, the Rave Green showed no signs of rust as they dominated possession and created chances at will. New Designated Player João Paulo absolutely bossed the midfield, while Seattle’s front four put on an attacking clinic.

João Paulo scored in his club debut and Jordan Morris added a goal of his own as the Seattle Sounders managed a 2-2 result in the first leg of their Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 series against C.D. Olimpia in San Pedro Sula, Honduras on Thursday.

Jordan Morris scored a dramatic game-winning goal in second-half stoppage time, sending the Seattle Sounders to a 2-1 victory over Chicago Fire FC in their MLS season-opener at CenturyLink Field on Sunday.

Morris bagged his second of the day just minutes from the final whistle, nodding home a feed from Cristian Roldan off a corner kick to give Seattle all three points on the day the championship banner commemorating their 2019 MLS Cup title was unveiled in front of a raucous home crowd at CenturyLink Field.

As the developments surrounding COVID-19 in our region evolve, Seattle Sounders FC has been working in real time with regional health authorities and government officials to do our part in combatting this public health crisis. Our organization must remain flexible in these efforts, and at this time, that includes heeding Governor Inslee’s call to postpone our home match on March 21 versus FC Dallas at CenturyLink Field. 

Throughout this process, Sounders FC has stated that nothing is more important than public safety and the wellbeing of our fans. With that in mind, we respect the difficult decision that has been made today, and our club will continue following the guidelines set forth by our public health authorities and government agencies. We will maintain our consistent dialogue with elected leadership, public health officials and Major League Soccer, and as more information becomes available, the club will continue to provide public updates. This includes details about rescheduling the FC Dallas match for a later date.
