The Seattle Sounders hosted the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday night at Lumen Field in their second and final regular-season meeting of 2025. The match ended with a 2-1 victory for the Colorado Rapids, boosting their quest to rise in the Western Conference standings and dealing a setback to the Sounders at home[6].

Both teams entered the game in close standings: Seattle Sounders (9-6-6, 33 points, 4th West), Colorado Rapids (8-10-5, 29 points, 7th West). The previous encounter between these sides resulted in a 1-1 draw in Colorado[2].

The Rapids came into the contest on the back of a 3-0 win over Vancouver, with midfielder Djordje Mihailovic setting a club record for most goal contributions in a player’s first two seasons. Mihailovic remained one to watch, along with Rafael Navarro and Calvin Harris, each contributing strongly in recent matches[1].

For Seattle, Jordan Morris made his first start since March 11 and scored in his recent outing against Sporting Kansas City, marking his 100th regular-season goal contribution for the club. Jesús Ferreira had also been in top form, with two goals and an assist in his previous three matches[2].

In terms of squad news, Seattle fielded Andrew Thomas in goal due to Stefan Frei’s head injury. Defender Nouhou Tolo was suspended following a red card for an off-field incident. Jon Bell was expected to take his place at fullback[3].

The Rapids’ goalkeeper Zack Steffen made his second appearance after returning from injury, having recorded a shutout in his last start[8].

Lumen Field has generally favored the Sounders, but the Rapids overturned that narrative on this occasion. This win further complicates the playoff race in the Western Conference, with Colorado now intensifying their position as Seattle seeks to regroup ahead of their next fixtures[1].
