Sunday's clash at Lumen Field ended goalless, with Seattle Sounders and New York Red Bulls playing out a 0-0 draw that left both sets of fans wanting more. The first half offered little in the way of clear chances, and the teams went into the break level at 0-0. Whatever adjustments came at the interval didn't shift the pattern much, as neither side could find the breakthrough that would've settled things. Points shared, then, and on this occasion neither team could find a way past the other. For Seattle, there's a sense of a chance missed on home turf, where three points would've carried extra weight in front of their own supporters. New York, meanwhile, will likely take the road point without much complaint given how the game unfolded. Neither side leaves Lumen Field particularly satisfied, but a clean sheet apiece is something both can build from as the season moves forward.
The Matchup
Seattle Sounders and New York Red Bulls drew 0-0 at Lumen Field, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Seattle Sounders holding 52% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
