SEATTLE (AP) – João Paulo scored his second goal of the season and the Seattle Sounders defeated Minnesota United 1-0 to extend their lead over the Western Conference. Seattle grabbed a four-game winless stretch at home. It was the first time in the club’s history to get just one point in a home game over four games. Minnesota had ended its undefeated streak streak with four games. Paulo scored in the 22nd minute. Nicolás Lodeiro and Nicolas Benezet met on the right after giving and going and Benezet sent it back to the edge of the box for Paulo’s one-touch finish on the post and into goal.
