Sounders Clash with Tigres: Live Match Thread
Seattle Sounders return to Lumen Field needing to erase a 2-0 first-leg deficit to Tigres UANL.
The team plays the return leg at home for the first time since February.
Stadium and surface
The club used a long road trip to install natural grass at Lumen Field.
Additional facility upgrades were completed ahead of the men’s World Cup this summer.
The U.S. Women’s National Team played the first match on the new surface the night before.
Heavy rain fell throughout the day, and the pitch reportedly held up well.

If Tigres score, Seattle must win by at least three goals to advance.
The Sounders had the weekend off prior to this match.
Their MLS fixture against Real Salt Lake was moved to September to protect the new turf.
Tigres defeated Chivas 4-1 in Liga MX before traveling to Seattle.
