Earthquakes beaten by Seattle as winless skid hits six; Bay City draw
SEATTLE — Danny Musovski scored two goals, his first multi-goal game since 2020, Pedro de la Vega added a goal and an assists and the Seattle Sounders beat the San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 on Saturday night. San Jose (7-9-8) is winless in six straight. De la Vega, on a breakaway, slipped a shot from outside the area inside the back post to cap the scoring in the 69th minute. San Jose's Preston Judd opened the scoring in the 26th minute but Danny Musovski answered for the Sounders (10-6-7) in the 28th to make it 1-1. Jamar Ricketts played a low cross from the left side to the near post where Judd put away a first-touch shot before Musovski beat defender Dave Romney and goalkeeper Daniel De Sousa Britto — known simply as 'Daniel' — to an arcing ball in played by Albert Rusnák and scored on a header into a wide-open net. After Musovski made it 2-1 in the 54th minute when, on the counter-attack, he headed home an entry pass played in by de la Vega from the center of the area. Cristian Arango responded for San Jose to tie it at 2-2 in the 64th minute. Cristian Espinoza played a free kick to Judd in the center of the area for a header, but goalkeeper Andrew Thomas made a diving one-hand parry before Arango slammed home the putback from point-blank range. Daniel stopped six shots for San Jose. Thomas made his third consecutive start in place of Stefan Frei (concussion protocol) and had four saves for the Sounders. Nouhou (red card - violent conduct) and Jackson Ragen (yellow card accumulation) served suspensions for the Sounders. The Sounders and San Jose played to a 1-1 tie on March 29. Angel City broke through first after a quiet start to the first half, scoring in the 27th minute, chasing down a long ball from Riley Tiernan and knocking home the game's first goal. Hocking, who narrowly missed a goal in the first half, scored on an assist from substitute Maddie Moreau in the 57th minute to pull even. Bay FC made a push in the final minutes, with Hocking missing on a hard shot at close range and Kiki Pickett firing a shot over the crossbar. Bay FC will play the last of its two Summer Series friendlies on Sunday when they host Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds. NWSL play resumes Aug. 2 with the end of summer break, as Bay FC hosts the Houston Dash. Neveal Hackshaw's first goal of the season put Oakland on top in the 22nd minute, firing from deep after a Loudoun turnover. Peter Wilson doubled the lead just two minutes later with his team-leading fifth goal of the season and giving the Roots all the scoring they'd need in a five-minute span.

Jordan Morris' return gives Sounders more firepower vs. Rapids
(Photo credit: Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images) With Jordan Morris back in the lineup, the Seattle Sounders' attack looks much more dangerous. Morris scored 15 minutes into his first start since March 1 on Saturday, leading the Sounders to a 3-2 victory at Sporting Kansas City. It was Morris' 100th goal contribution in his MLS career. The Sounders (9-6-6, 33 points) have gone undefeated (2-0-1) since participating in the Club World Cup and will look to continue that streak when they play host to the Colorado Rapids (8-10-5, 29 points) on Wednesday night. Albert Rusnak and Jesus Ferreira also scored first-half goals for the Sounders, who held on despite allowing Sporting Kansas City to convert a pair of penalty kicks after intermission. 'Jesus and I have talked a lot about how we've been bummed we haven't been able to play together this year,' said Morris, who has been sidelined by a pair of hamstring injuries. 'His vision is incredible. To have a guy like that on the right side and Albert (Rusnak) on the left, it's just so dangerous for us as a team. It was hard to watch some of those games because we were creating so many chances, I just wanted to be out on the field playing with those guys.' The Rapids snapped a three-match winless streak with a 3-0 victory against visiting Vancouver on Saturday. Rafael Navarro, Calvin Harris, and Andreas Maxs scored for Colorado with Djordje Mihailovic assisting on all three goals. Goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who had been sidelined since May 14 after surgery on his right knee, made two saves in posting the shutout. 'We attacked, we defended, we moved the ball, we played some entertaining, energetic football,' said Rapids coach Chris Armas. 'For me, around the world, that's the benchmark. 'We'll have a quick turnaround and get ready for Seattle.' The Western Conference rivals played to a 1-1 draw on April 26 in Commerce City, Colo., with Danny Musovski scoring for Seattle and Mihailovic answering for the Rapids.
