Sounders 0-0 Red Bulls: 20 Shots, No Goal

Twenty shots. Six on target. Two big chances. Zero goals. Seattle Sounders spent the night asking the same question and never got an answer.

Sounders and New York Red Bulls finished 0-0. First half 0-0. Second half 0-0. Expected goals: 1.25 to 0.86. Possession: 52 percent to 48.

Key Moments

The card count told more of the story than the scoreboard. Donkor R. was booked on 45. Che J. followed on 51. Bazan J. on 63. Rothrock P. collected Seattle's only yellow on 81 and was then replaced by Arriola P.

Brian Schmetzer changed it early: Brunell S. for Kossa-Rienzi K. on 38, Musovski D. for Morris J. at the break, Dotson H. for Roldan C. on 77. New York's bench arrived in waves — Harper C. and Choupo-Moting E. M. on 67, Forsberg E. and Ruiz D. on 74, Padelford D. on 81. The visitors still finished with nine shots and four on target. The hosts could not turn 20 attempts into a lead.

Why it matters

Seattle sit 21st with 27 points from 22 matches (24 scored, 29 conceded). New York are 22nd with 27 points from 23 (32 scored, 46 conceded). Two clubs on identical points, both still hunting a finishing touch. Form coming in was DDLLL against LDLLW. This draw does not break either slump so much as freeze it.
