It’s about taking advantage of wherever they can be found on Tuesday, which, according to Roldan, starts with protecting their home.

Seattle ended a recent downturn in home form by beating Minnesota United FC 1-0 on Saturday. Schmetzer said it gave his team “a shot in the arm” before hoping to be the first MLS team to reach a League Cup final. The LA Galaxy reached the semifinals in 2019, then the 2020 version was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s a huge advantage for us so doing business at home is very important and the intensity is so important in these games,” said Roldan. “As I said, they come on the street. Maybe the first 15 minutes are a little sloppy for her, a little slow. But if we can pounce on them early and basically send a message that it will be a tough game for them, we can use this game. “
