Seattle Sounders FC and San Diego FC drew 1–1 in an MLS encounter where the hosts dominated possession and chance creation without converting their superiority into victory. Playing in a 4–4–2 formation, Seattle generated 2.53 expected goals from 26 shots, with 5 efforts on target, yet managed only a single goal. San Diego's 4–3–3 setup proved defensively resolute, limiting the Sounders to relatively low-quality opportunities despite their volume advantage. The visitors registered 1.86 xG from 15 shots, with Marcus Ingvartsen grabbing their equaliser. Seattle's goalkeeper delivered a strong performance, posting an 80 per cent save percentage and saving 0.9 goals above expected, suggesting San Diego's finishing was clinical when opportunities arose. The draw leaves both sides with a point apiece, though Seattle's inability to capitalise on territorial dominance will frustrate their pursuit of playoff positioning.
