SEATTLE, WASH. - Sounders FC continues its Sounders FC Classics weekly broadcasts tomorrow evening, with this week featuring a "Comeback Kids" theme. Fans were able to choose between three classic Rave Green comeback matches, and, with a resounding 75 percent of the vote, selected 2017's electrifying 4-3 comeback over D.C. United, where D.C. United led 3-0 in the 50th minute before Seattle stormed back to take the thrilling but improbable victory. The match marked the first time in MLS history that a team has overcome a three-goal deficit to win a regular season match in regulation play. The club is offering Sounders FC Classics as a weekly program - Saturday evenings at 7:00 p.m. PT - to provide fans of the Rave Green with a taste of their favorite team during Major League Soccer's ongoing suspension of play. This week's match is presented by TCL.
Sounders FC Classics is available live on JOEtv, as well as both live and archived for later viewing on SoundersFC.com and via the Sounders FC mobile app, for those within the Sounders FC broadcast territory throughout the state of Washington. Fans can also tune in to 950 KJR AM via radio or iHeartRadio app to listen to the game's broadcast.
In addition to the match broadcasts on radio, television, SoundersFC.com and the Sounders FC app, each Sounders FC Classics broadcast features a second screen viewing opportunity from the club's Twitter account. Former Sounder and current Brand Ambassador Brad Evans this week hosts a 30-minute program starting at 6:30 p.m. PT on Saturday evening, offering additional commentary, analysis and matchday memories. Evans will be joined by special guests, including players, coaches, broadcast talent and others, while also engaging with fan questions.
This week's match was chosen as the result of a fan vote. Remaining weeks will also offer fans the ability to vote on what match they would like to see. To view choices and vote for broadcasts, visit SoundersFC.com/Classics.
