Minnesota claims its first-ever win in Seattle with 3-2 victory over the Sounders
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 Nicolás Romero scored for Seattle. 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.

🚨 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
