Following a 1-0 road win on Sunday at San Jose, Sounders FC (15-10-8, 53 points) hosts Minnesota United FC (15-10-8, 53 points) on Sunday, October 6 at CenturyLink Field (1:00 p.m. PT / JOEtv, YouTube TV, Univision-Seattle, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM).
Sunday's match is being broadcast locally on JOEtv and regionally on YouTube TV, featuring Keith Costigan, Kasey Keller and Steve Zakuani on the call. A Spanish-language broadcast is available on Univision-Seattle, with Jaime Mendez handling play-by-play and Diego Arrioja on analyst duties.
Sports Radio 950 KJR AM is airing the contest, with Matt Johnson and Danny Jackson handling the commentary, as well as Jackson Felts on pre-match, halftime and post-match coverage. Fans in Western Washington can tune in to El Rey 1360 AM for a Spanish radio broadcast, featuring "Zuper" Mario Rodriguez, Felipe Maqueda and Carlos Tapia.
Seattle is tied with Minnesota for second place in the Western Conference ahead of Sunday's Decision Day matchup between the two sides to conclude the 2019 MLS regular season. Home field advantage in the postseason is on the line on Decision Day, as teams one through four in each conference are assured to play at home in the single-elimination 2019 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Having already clinched a postseason spot, Sounders FC can finish anywhere from second to fifth following Sunday. A win over Minnesota would secure second place in the Western Conference.
