Jordan Morris Two-Point Night Keeps Sounders Perfect at Home and Unbeaten in Six

The Seattle Sounders are on a roll that's starting to feel genuinely dangerous. Jordan Morris scored a goal and dished an assist Saturday night as the Sounders dismantled FC Dallas 2-1 at Lumen Field, extending their unbeaten streak in league play to six matches. That's five wins and one draw, and honestly, if you're not paying attention to what's happening in Emerald City soccer right now, you should be.

Morris Takes Over Early, Sounders Strike First

Dallas came out swinging with possession in the opening 15 minutes, but Seattle flipped the script fast. Jackson Ragen launched a long ball down the right wing to Morris, who found Jesus Ferreira trailing the play just inside the 18-yard box. Ferreira took the shot, it deflected off defender Lalas Abubakar, and slipped past Dallas keeper Michael Collodi. Game on.

The Sounders doubled down in the 30th minute when Hassani Dotson threaded a pass to Snyder Brunell, who delivered a through ball to Morris on the break. Morris lifted a shot over the charging Collodi with the outside of his right foot. That's the kind of composure you need from your attacking mids when things are clicking.

Dallas Scratches Back, But It's Not Enough

FC Dallas got one back in the 40th minute when Santiago Moreno's corner found Nolan Norris at the near post for his first MLS goal, a header to the far side. Could've been interesting if it stayed 2-1 the rest of the way, but it didn't matter. Ferreira had a penalty kick chance in the 54th minute to put it away for good, but Collodi made a diving save to his left.

The Sounders sit at 6-1-1 with 19 points. Dallas falls to 3-3-4 with 13 and is winless in their last four (0-2-2). Here's the wild part: Dallas is 1-13-4 all-time at Lumen Field. Their only win there? 2011. That's a fortress, and the Sounders are building something special inside it.

Goalkeeper Andrew Thomas made five saves for Seattle. Collodi made four for Dallas, including that penalty stop.

Missing Pieces on Both Sides

Dallas was without its top two scorers. Petar Musa, who leads MLS with nine goals, and Logan Farrington both sat out due to lower-body injuries. Seattle had its own absences with Albert Rusnak (hamstring) sidelined, though Cristian Roldan was unavailable due to concussion protocol.

Next up for the Sounders is their next league match. With momentum like this and a six-game unbeaten streak rolling, Seattle's got the confidence to take on anyone.
