Tani Oluwaseyi scores twice in the second half and Minnesota claims its first-ever win in Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) — Tani Oluwaseyi scored two goals in the second half and Minnesota claimed its first-ever win in Seattle with a 3-2 victory over the Sounders on Sunday.
Minnesota (8-3-6) beat the Sounders (7-5-5) for just the second time in 16 meetings — and won in Seattle for the first time in nine tries. The Sounders also knocked out Minnesota in the 2020 Western Conference championship.
Seattle (7-5-5) dropped its first game at Lumen Field this season, moving to 5-1-2. FC Cincinnati is the only MLS team yet to lose at home.
Minnesota and Seattle combined for four goals in seven minutes, marking the ninth time in MLS history that two teams had four goals in eight-or-fewer minutes in a half.
Oluwaseyi opened the scoring in the 51st minute when he was left alone at the penalty spot for a redirection of Robin Lod's back pass. Oluwaseyi scored again in the 58th on a rebound attempt for a 3-1 lead.
Lod scored on a penalty kick in the 54th for a two-goal advantage.
Kalani Kossa-Rienzi and Nicolas Romero scored for Seattle. PROTEST
The Seattle players wore T-shirts before a match that read 'Club World Cup Ca$h Grab' to demand a share of the prize money for participating in the upcoming international tournament.

Lionel Taylor, record-setting Broncos receiver and coaching pioneer, dies at 89
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Lionel Taylor, who starred for the Denver Broncos in the 1960s and became the first wide receiver in pro football history to record a 100-catch season, has died. He was 89. His grandson, also named Lionel Taylor, told the team that Taylor died at his home near Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Aug. 6. The Broncos plan to honor Taylor during their preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night. Taylor was the first player in either the AFL or NFL to record 100 catches in a season and he's also believed to have been the first Black coordinator in NFL history. He served as the Los Angeles Rams' offensive coordinator from 1980-81. Taylor wasn't drafted in 1958 after starring in both basketball and football at New Mexico Highlands. After playing semipro football for a year, he joined the Chicago Bears as a linebacker in 1959 before becoming a member of the Broncos' inaugural team in 1960. He led the new American Football League in receiving in five of the league's first six seasons, including in 1961, when he had 100 catches for 1,176 yards. He spent seven seasons in Denver, becoming the franchise's career receiving leader with 543 catches for 6,872 yards and 44 touchdowns. He finished his career by playing two seasons for the Houston Oilers in 1967-68. Taylor, who was among the first players inducted into the Broncos' Ring of Fame in 1984, had an extensive coaching career after retiring as a player. He won two Super Bowl rings with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s during his seven-year stint as the team's wide receivers coach. He also served as receivers coach for the Rams from 1977-79 and as their offensive coordinator from 1980-81. According to NFL Films, he was the first Black coordinator in the league. ___

Lifelong fan meets Vikings legends while attending training camp for grandson's 10th birthday
Dozens of kids waited in line at Vikings training camp to meet two legends who made their mark before they were even born: Leo Lewis, a standout for the purple and gold throughout the 1980s, and Autry Beamon, a Vikings safety in the mid-70s. "Leo said to them, 'I played long before you were born,' and I just told them that he was a very good wide receiver," Dave Cornell said. It was a special moment for Cornell, a lifelong fan in his 70s. "I've been a Vikings fan since I was a little kid. We moved to Minnesota when I was 8 and I adopted them as my team. So to see Leo Lewis and Autry Beamon, guys I watched when I was a kid growing up, was just amazing. It's an amazing experience," Cornell said. Beamon was part of the roster that made it to the 1975 Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers — a moment Cornell will never forget. "They didn't win, but they got to them, so that was a big thing. So as a kid, you always rooted for that, and I continue to root for that as a 70-year-old guy," Cornell said. And this is something Cornell won't forget either: getting their autographs with his grandson, Troy Tysver. "It was pretty cool because he knew them," Tysver said. Cornell and his wife treat all their grandkids to a special 10th birthday trip — and so far, it's always been Vikings training camp. "We did it with his 12-year-old brother when he was 10, so we're glad to duplicate it," Cornell said. "And he's got a younger brother, who is 7, who I'm sure is going to ask for the same thing." Because for them, football is all about family. "I've been waiting for this for a long time, so it was pretty cool," Tysver said.
