Rusnák extended Seattle's lead in the 58 th minute with a right-footed strike that found the back of the net following a pass from Ryan Kent.

McGlynn had the match's first shot on target, receiving a pass from midfielder Ondřej Lingr on the edge of the box and managed a one-touch right-footed shot to force a save from goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
