Players to Watch: Seattle Sounders FC vs. Colorado Rapids
Seattle Sounders FC
Dejan Joveljić — F. Joveljić is Seattle’s leading scorer with 10 goals in 23 MLS appearances this season, along with 1 assist. As the Sounders’ central striker, he provides the most established finishing threat in a Seattle attack that needs points on the road.
Paul Rothrock — F. Rothrock has recorded 5 goals in 22 appearances, providing Seattle with a secondary scoring threat from the left side of the attack. His movement and willingness to enter dangerous areas give the Sounders another route to goal beyond Joveljić.
Seattle’s attack runs through Albert Rusnák, a midfielder who has produced 3 goals and 8 assists across 22 matches, the most assists on either roster in this matchup. His distribution sets the tempo for Rothrock and the rest of Seattle’s forwards, and a strong outing from Rusnák usually means good things for the Sounders’ final ball.
Kalani Kossa-Rienzi — M. Across 21 appearances, Kossa-Rienzi has found the net 3 times, adding a second scoring option out of midfield alongside Rothrock and Rusnák. He gives Seattle a scoring outlet beyond its two main threats, valuable depth in the final third for a team fighting to salvage its season.
Colorado Rapids
Paxten Aaronson — M. Aaronson has been Colorado’s most productive player this season, contributing 6 goals and 6 assists across 25 appearances from midfield. He’s the player Seattle will need to account for first, given how often the Rapids’ offense funnels through him.
Up top, Darren Yapi has matched Aaronson’s workload with 25 appearances of his own, adding 3 goals and 2 assists as Colorado’s primary striker. He gives the Rapids a target forward who can finish the chances Aaronson and the midfield create.
Wayne Frederick — M. Frederick has quietly compiled 2 goals and 5 assists in 22 matches, making him Colorado’s second-most productive creator behind Aaronson. His ability to link play from deeper midfield positions gives Colorado another route into the final third as it looks to build on its seventh-place standing.
