MLS-leading Sounders stay unbeaten, tie Austin FC 0-0
Posted May 31, 2021 7:00 am
SEATTLE (AP) - Stefan Cleveland had three saves and the Seattle Sounders tied Austin FC 0-0 on Sunday night to remain unbeaten.
Cleveland has two shutouts in three starts this season while filling in for injured Stefan Frei, who is out indefinitely after suffering a sprained left knee and then developing a blood clot as a complication related to the injury.
MLS-leading Seattle (5-0-3) appeared to take the lead in the 75th minute. Fredy Montero punched home a cross by João Paulo but Raúl RuidÃaz was ruled offside after VAR review.
Austin (2-4-1) is winless in its last four but snapped a three-game losing streak.
