Seattle Sounders FCIn a thrilling MLS encounter at Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington, Seattle Sounders FC edged out San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 on July 19, 2025. Daniel Musovski bagged a brace (27', 54') for the Sounders, with Pedro de la Vega adding another in the 69th minute. San Jose responded with goals from Preston Judd (26') and Cristian Arango (64'), but it wasn't enough. The Sounders, playing a 4-2-3-1 formation, had slightly more possession (52.6%) and a similar number of total shots (19) compared to San Jose's 20 (playing 3-4-3). However, both teams managed 9 shots on target.
The game was closely contested, with the Sounders ultimately proving more clinical. While the fouls committed were relatively even (10 for Seattle, 8 for San Jose), the Earthquakes accumulated three yellow cards compared to Seattle's one. The AI pre-game prediction correctly forecasted a Seattle Sounders FC win, aligning with the actual result. The AI model didn't anticipate a balanced game, which the close scoreline somewhat contradicts.
Seattle’s recent form has been inconsistent, with two draws, two wins and one loss in their last five matches, including a high-profile defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup. Their defense has been a bit leaky, conceding in most games. San Jose, on the other hand, has struggled, drawing four and losing one of their last five games. Their attacking output has also been underwhelming.
Looking at the previous head-to-head records, matches between these two teams have often been tight affairs. Recent games have seen a mix of results, with San Jose having some success, particularly at home, but Seattle has also held their own. Seattle's next game will be crucial to build momentum, while San Jose will be looking to break their winless streak. This match continues the trend of closely fought encounters between the two sides.
