Summary
  • Seattle must win by three goals at Lumen Field to advance outright

The Seattle Sounders - Tigres quarterfinal second leg takes place under the lights at Lumen Field with Seattle needing a three goal margin to advance outright, as reported by Goal.com US.

Seattle fell 2-0 in the first leg at Monterrey and must avoid conceding, because any Tigres away goal would force Seattle to find four, Goal.com US notes.

Paul Rothrock is highlighted as Seattle’s current spark, while Albert Rusnak’s return to midfield gives the home side creative options, as reported by Goal.com US.

Tigres arrive with a clinical edge, led by Ozziel Herrera and a veteran backline that contained Seattle’s attack in the first leg, a tactical challenge Seattle must overcome according to Goal.com US.

The match kicks off at 23:30 EST and 04:30 GMT, as listed by Goal.com US, and builds on Seattle’s continental ambitions with a CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal spot at stake.

Context And Broadcasts

Seattle returned home after an exhausting eight match road stretch and face a steep task to repeat their club’s past comeback history, as reported by sources summarising the club’s run to this fixture.

Broadcast options include Fubo in the US, Fubo Canada in Canada and FanCode in India, according to Goal.com US, which also provides a step by step VPN guide for viewers outside broadcast areas.

Goal.com US recommends a VPN such as ExpressVPN to bypass geo restrictions, with advice to download the app, connect to a server where the match streams, clear browser cache and then start streaming.

The same guide offers ways to view the match on a big screen, noting that Android based smart TVs and Fire TV devices often support native VPN apps, while Apple TV, Roku and consoles may require Smart DNS or casting from a VPN connected device, as reported by Goal.com US.

If Seattle overturns the deficit they will face either Nashville SC or CF America in the semifinals, and the outcome will hinge on whether Rothrock’s creativity can counter Herrera’s threat and Tigres’ disciplined defence.
