About this episode
Coming off a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Lumen Field, it's an Eastern Conference road trip for the Seattle Sounders as they get set to take on reeling Atlanta United. With one last match before Leagues Cup begins, can Seattle make it a fourth straight game with at least three goals scored? Later on we'll hit some headlines from around the league, including a comedic ending in Saturday's El Trafico showdown between LAFC and the LA Galaxy.
