SEATTLE, WA - Sounders FC (6-1-3, 21 points) played to a 1-1 draw with San Diego FC (3-5-4, 13 points) on Saturday evening on the Emerald Queen Casino Pitch at Lumen Field. After the visitors went up 1-0 in the first half on a goal from Marcus Ingvartsen, Danny Musovski scored the late equalizer for Seattle, his third strike in all competitions this season. Brian Schmetzer's side continues its three-match homestand this week with matchups against the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday, May 13 (6:30 p.m. PT / Apple TV, 93.3 KJR FM, El Rey 1360 AM) and the LA Galaxy on Saturday, May 16 (6:00 p.m. PT / Apple TV, FS1, 93.3 KJR FM, El Rey 1360 AM).

MATCH NOTES

Seattle sits in fourth place in the Western Conference with the result with 21 points (6-1-3). The club is unbeaten in its last eight matches (5-0-3) in league play, with its lone loss coming on February 28 at RSL.

The result extends Sounders FC's club-record home unbeaten streak to 21 games in all competitions (15-0-6), a club record. Seattle also has a 13-match home unbeaten streak in MLS regular-season play (9-0-4), tied for third-longest in club history.

Danny Musovski's goal in the 80th minute was his third in all competitions and first in MLS. The forward scored a team-high 18 goals in all competitions last year.

Cristian Roldan and Albert Rusnák both provided assists on Musovski's goal, their third and fourth in all competitions, respectively.

Brian Schmetzer made one change to the lineup from last week's match at Sporting Kansas City, with Albert Rusnák replacing Danny Musovski.
