Kelyn Rowe scored his first goal of the season to break a scoreless tie and the streaking Seattle Sounders made history with a 2-0 victory over the visiting Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night.
The Sounders (8-0-5, 29 points) established a new MLS record of 13 straight unbeaten results to begin a season. The Los Angeles Galaxy (1996, 2010), Kansas City Wizards (2000) and Real Salt Lake (2014) all opened with streaks of 12 undefeated matches.
Raul Ruidiaz added his 10th goal of the season in second-half stoppage time to tie for the league lead, and Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland made three saves to record his third shutout of the year.

SEATTLE The Seattle Sounders stretched their unbeaten run to open the season by beating Houston Dynamo 2-0 on Wednesday night. Despite numerous absences, the Sounders still managed to put out a strong lineup. The opening half was open with the Sounders creating plenty of quality chances most notably Fredy Montero and Raúl Ruidíaz both had great looks inside the area within three minutes of each other but no goals were forthcoming. That changed in the second half.
Kelyn Rowe got the scoring started in the 63rd minute, scoring his first goal as a Sounder and his first MLS goal since 2018. Alex Roldan’s ball from the edge of the box reached Rowe at the near post as he and Ruidíaz both crashed on goal, and the shot beat the ‘keeper. The second goal wouldn’t come until late, but Seattle had plenty of chances between the two goals.

Seattle Sounders at Colorado Rapids: Player ratings
Share this story
Seattle lost another player prior to facing a good Colorado team away, and you might have thought this would be their first loss, as injuries and international duty cost them upwards of six starters. Instead, a resolute Sounders team found a goal right before half and hung on for a road point against a solid Rapids team. The final was 1-1, and to say that the home team had the better of it in the second half would be putting it mildly. Seattle came out of the locker room listless and somehow managed to hold on when under siege for long periods of time. With necessity forcing a rotated lineup, many players struggled, but it was the kind of game that you steal points from in a Supporter’s Shield season.
