Sounders FC dominated Sporting in the second half, unleashing shot after shot at second-half substitute goalkeeper Jon Kempin. Minutes before the goal, Dempsey and Martins had back-to-back chances on goal that forced Kempin into diving stops. In the minutes following Seattle’s goal, Martins nearly put two more in the net, first getting his head on a redirected header by Chad Marshall following a corner kick, then just missing the net after a dangerous cross from Lamar Neagle. Kempin made another diving save in the 72nd minute on a Dempsey half-volley in the box.
Seattle was forced to play a man down for the last 14 minutes after Gonzalo Pineda was shown a red card in the 76th minute. However, that didn’t stop the Rave Green from pressing the goal till the very end. In the 87th minute, Michael Azira got forward and played to Dempsey in the box, who rounded the keeper for an open shot that was cleared off the line by a Kansas City defender.
