Jordan Morris Is Unstoppable and Dallas Has No Answer: Sounders Push Unbeaten Streak to Six

The Seattle Sounders are playing like a team on a mission right now. Jordan Morris scored and assisted in a dominant 2-1 win over FC Dallas on Saturday night at Lumen Field, extending their unbeaten streak in league play to six straight matches. With a record of 6-1-1 and 19 points, the Sounders are looking scary good early in the season.

Morris and Ferreira Run the Show

Morris was everywhere Saturday night. In the opening half, he connected with Jesus Ferreira on a slick sequence that started with a long ball down the right wing from Jackson Ragen. Ferreira, trailing the play just inside the 18-yard box, fired a shot that deflected off Dallas defender Lalas Abubakar and past goalie Michael Collodi to give Seattle an early lead. But Morris wasn't done. In the 30th minute, Snyder Brunell threaded a perfect through ball to Morris, who broke free on a one-on-one with Collodi. Morris lifted a shot over the charging keeper with the outside of his right foot, and suddenly it was 2-0. That's the kind of clinical finishing that wins games.

Dallas Fights Back But Can't Complete the Comeback

Dallas pulled one back in the 40th minute when Nolan Norris flicked a header into the far corner off Santiago Moreno's corner kick, making it 2-1 and keeping things interesting. But the Sounders held firm. Ferreira had a chance to put it away with a penalty kick in the 54th minute after Paul Rothrock was tripped, but Collodi made a diving save to his left to keep Dallas alive. It wasn't enough. Goalkeeper Andrew Thomas made five saves to secure the victory for Seattle.

Dallas (3-3-4, 13 points) is winless in their past four matches (0-2-2), and their struggles at Lumen Field continue. They're 1-13-4 all-time here, with their only win coming way back in 2011. The Sounders were without midfielders Albert Rusnak (hamstring) and Cristian Roldan (concussion protocol), but they barely missed a beat. Dallas was also short-handed without top scorers Petar Musa and Logan Farrington due to lower-body injuries.

Next up for Seattle: keep this unbeaten run rolling. This team is playing the kind of soccer that makes 12s fans believe something special is brewing at Lumen Field.
