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.

🚨 Minnesota dispatch Seattle in a high-scoring Western thriller
The final act of matchday 17 in the 2025 MLS season saw a Western Conference top-four clash end with Minnesota United holding on for a 3-2 win on the road against the Seattle Sounders. Scorers: Rienzi 55', Romero 83' (own goal); Oluwaseyi 51', 58', Lod 54' (pen) Advertisement Across what was an expected intriguing tactical battle between a ball-dominant Sounders side and a pesky counter-attacking outfit in Minnesota, the pair of Western upstarts canceled each other out before heading into the halftime interval. Eric Ramsay's Loons finally broke the deadlock in the 50th minute, with Oluwaseyi once again proving to be the attacking focal point when he turned in a cut-back from Finnish wing-back Robin Lod from close range after Minnesota did well to break quickly. Minnesota was then awarded a penalty just one minute later after substitute Bongokuhle Hlongwane was judged to have been fouled in the box after a storming run from Joaquin Pereyra aimed to pick out the South African forward. Lod would ultimately dispatch his effort from the spot to double their advantage at Lumen Field, a venue they have never picked up a single point at across their history. Advertisement But Seattle would storm back right after play resumed through a close finish from Kalani Rienzi, who put the finishing touch on a cut-back from Pedro De la Vega. The Loons would not be undone after the quick Seattle response, however, with Oluwaseyi completing his brace on the night when he converted the rebound after Stefan Frei could only parry an effort from Pereyra right into his path. Once again the Sounders would storm back as they through everyone into the fray and would narrow the deficit to a single goal after Nicolas Romero turned it into the Minnesota net in the 83rd minute. Advertisement With that, the Loons climb up to second in the West and level on points with MLS upstarts San Diego FC, and now sit four points clear of both Seattle and the Portland Timbers. 📸 Editorial Photo Credit: © Joe Nicholson | 2025 Jun 1 - Imagn Images

A lonely footballer breathes life into clay
News of cross-cultural exchanges and transnational cooperation in the arts have become oxygen for my determined optimism in an increasingly divided world. The Oscars earlier this year delivered tankfuls of hope with the Iranian auteur-in-exile Mohammad Rasoulof's Farsi film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig (Daane-ye anjeer-e ma'abed), in the fray as Germany's entry in the Best International Feature race, while Britain entered a Hindi language production - British Indian director Sandhya Suri's Santosh - in that category. Both were premiered last summer at the Cannes Film Festival, an event that routinely throws up instances of blurring borders. One such heartening collaboration at the just-concluded Cannes 2025 bears a stamp of India. A Doll Made Up of Clay - part of the official selection for the students' competition at the fest - is written and directed by Kokob Gebrehaweria Tesfay, an Ethiopian student of Kolkata's Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI), and recipient of the ICCR (Indian Council for Cultural Relations) African Scholarship. Produced by a fellow student, Sahil Manoj Ingle, this 23-min short features a multiracial, multinational team, including a Bangladeshi editor, Mahmud Abu Naser. It blends Yoruba and Bengali dialogues, and is about a Nigerian footballer in Kolkata, played by Ibrahim Ahmed -- a Nigerian footballer in Kolkata. It is, as Kokob told me in an interview on the eve of his Cannes premiere, 'a collective effort' and a truly international creation. In the film, Ibrahim plays Oluwaseyi, a youngster stranded in India after an injury stalled his dream of building a career in football. Battling loneliness, depression, financial deprivation and racism, Oluwaseyi finds solace in the arms of a woman (played by Geeta Doshi), who is haunted by her past. Kokob, grandson of a priest from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, brings his awareness of Christian imagery and African folklore to the film, in addition to his observations of Hindu iconography. Oluwaseyi is Christian. A painting of Jesus' mother, Mary, is given prominence, while the rosary is a constant presence. In his desperation to repair mind and body, Oluwaseyi turns to a healing tradition from his homeland, amalgamating it with a belief articulated by an elderly local who sculpts Durga idols - the common factor in both is faith in the power and divinity of clay. Indian filmmakers have often been guilty of stereotyping and exoticising people of Africa, on rare occasions when they have been represented on screen here. Sudani from Nigeria, a 2018 Malayalam hit directed by Zakariya Mohammed, is an uncommon example of Indian cinema featuring an important African character portrayed with empathy. That film was charming, but it steered clear of the racism prevalent in India. In A Doll Made Up of Clay, Kokob boldly addresses this truth despite his fondness for Kolkata, which he now calls 'my second home', and India, which he describes as 'the home of cinema'. He is conscious of the difference between his own experience of the country, as a light-complexioned African, in contrast with Ibrahim, whose black skin and Muslim name have made him the target of prejudice. His film, Kokob said, 'is 80% Ibrahim's story, and 20% fiction'. The overlap between the pain of an actual person and a scripted version of him is mirrored by cinematographer Vinod Kumar's frames capturing a desolate, muddied Kolkata, and the poignance conveyed by sound designer Soham Pal, along with music composer Himangshu Saikia. The film urges us to introspect, even while being a cause for celebration since it showcases SRFTI's - and India's - laudable effort to nurture and partner with global talent. 'At this time full of conflict,' Kokob told me, 'it's an awesome feeling that as people from four different countries, we have come together for art. The world is going through a hard time, but we have become one for cinema.' (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer.
